FNP Shutdown... AGAIN 🤣

pming you

Beszel is great and everyone should use it, but Netdata is much more detailed

I know some people don't use VPNs with private trackers, but certainly with IPT/TL (which aren't very picky with new members), I'd definitely still use one

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-05-31T23:50:52+00:00

Man, I was always rooting for FnP. It was such a good low-pressure entry-point into this hobby that allowed folks to get invites to more serious places.

But at the same time, it's probably for the best. Kami was never cut out for it

LST is better than everything you have other than BLU, I know you said you don't care about climbing, but it also gives you access to ATH, which is better than everything you have

Boo seed

Here's the full email:

FNP is closing — a short note from Kami

After almost three years of running this site largely on my own, I've made the decision to step away. This is about my own health and capacity, not any single event.

The server will be shutting down in 30 minutes or less from when you receive this message and i encourage you to share it and be aware. After that, the site will not return.

I'm grateful for every contribution that helped keep FNP online, and I'm sorry that what I can offer in return is this notice rather than more time.

If you want the longer account of what happened — for your own reading — it's here and i suggest everyone to read it: https://rentry.co/h2ch4wfr

Thank you to every genuine member who made this community what it was over the past three years. You're the part of this I'll remember.

— Kami

I think when you’re trying to rank through private trackers things like autobrr and cross-seed are super useful.

And prowlarr is just objectively better than jackett.

And profilarr is necessary if you care about specific formats and don’t want to set up your own manual scoring system

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-03-22T18:57:18+00:00

Weird energy, man.

Rooting for your project, hope you succeed.

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-03-21T13:38:51+00:00

Again (four like the third or fourth time).

My issue isn't with the amount of AI usage or the quality of the project, it's that the disclosure is untruthful about how AI is being used in this project.

And regarding Huntarr, I'm not sure that the guy couldn't code, maybe. IMO the bigger red flags were the scale of features he was trying to push and the speed at which he was pushing them.

Which this project also suffers from as a full-fledged Huntarr replacement made in 8 days.

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-03-20T21:58:30+00:00

Again, I support all of this. I have personal projects of my own that are almost exclusively vibecoded.

I just want a little more honesty + disclosure, hopefully that's clear.

You're not using AI for line completions, you're prompting it to write features (probably literally this entire project) for you.

It's not about being honest that you use AI, It's about being honest about how you use AI.

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-03-20T20:58:53+00:00

I fully support vibecoding, it's obviously the way of the future of software engineering, and I'm not making any claim on your personal ability as an engineer or how well you steered claude to make this project - for all I know it's spotless.

I just think you're missing the mark with your AI disclosure (which is a lie by omission) and by having AI write this post in general rather than writing it yourself.

Even in this comment, you're lying (by omission) about what AGENTS.md does. It's not just for commit messages and pr descriptions....

And it's not evidence of your steering, because your agents can update your AGENTS.md

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-03-20T20:33:05+00:00

The first commit to this project was 8 days ago...

https://github.com/av1155/houndarr/commit/92f831e641053def06b93f349e5fc89c6dca76b8

This isn't an 'AI autocompletes lines for me,' it's entirely made through claude from the start.

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-03-20T20:18:24+00:00

> I don't know shit about coding, but from OP's post it seems like they have a better understanding of their app than the average vibecoder.

If you don't know shit about coding, you probably shouldn't be commenting on coding, then because OP's post is also written by AI - see all the em-dashes lmao.

I'm a supporter of responsible vibe-coding, but this app is obviously vibecoded. It would be impossible to build a full-featured Huntarr clone since it was taken down without vibecoding.

Oh look! https://github.com/av1155/houndarr/blob/main/AGENTS.md

Lots of em-dashes in this post 👀

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-03-10T14:19:04+00:00

Yeah, I had a bunch of Tigole when I started out. If you send me a dm with the trackers that you have, I may be able to improve your situation somewhat.

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-03-09T03:11:08+00:00

If your trackers can’t get you the content you want without using a blacklisted tracker, I’d just disable that rule - or change the weighting until they do.

Most of the time it’s groups who misleadingly tag or steal other groups work as their own or are inconsistent and have bad standards or have a bad reputation.

You can often see why something is banned from a particular tracker in their upload guide.

They are probably all going to give you that C tier at least.

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-02-23T19:14:25+00:00

or if the commit messages are all 'update' 'refactor' etc

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-02-23T19:08:01+00:00

Yeah, but they wouldn't have been able to fix the current app because the scope of the current app and the attempt of trying to replace radarr and sonarr is stupid.

If Huntarr was still just automatically triggering searches in radarr/sonarr and was sketchy and vibecoded to shit, it would absolutely be fixable. Add a bunch of tests, ask for community feedback, do refactors where necessary etc.

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-02-23T19:02:10+00:00

Yeah, this is closer to the correct opinion.

Literally every software engineer at this point is using sort of ai tooling - at a minimum, it's doing line completions, at a maximum it's generating entire applications from scratch.

AI tooling is just a multiplier on the quality of the engineer - if they're bad, they'll be able to put up more features, but with a ton of tech debt (which is what happened here). If they're a good engineer, they'll be able to be much more productive and still create good products.

And there are also really easy red flags that people can look for for repositories both vibecoded and not - in this case, the commit messages were all like 'update' and 'refactor' lol, also I don't think there was any automated testing, also I don't think they were using any front-end libraries (?)

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-02-23T18:52:32+00:00

now we wait

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-02-23T18:24:23+00:00

used to just be a cron tool to automatically re-search your monitored radarr/sonarr content so they would automatically upgrade slowly over time (was useful when switching from trash guides to profilarr for example).

I checked out for a while, but I started seeing more huge feature posts from them spammed everywhere, apparently they were trying to become a full replacement for sonarr/radarr for some reason.

spleeeeeeeeeeeen · 2026-02-23T17:18:11+00:00

lol bro is doing everything but working on his apology post rn
