After this failed experience with SemHub, I am actually thinking of building something like this, for open source maintainers like you are definitely the ICP! (nuqs seems really cool btw, storing state in the URL param is definitely the way to go)

To elaborate, I was thinking of:

- running a cron that checks repos every X minutes

- for every new issue someone has opened, I will run an agent that (1) checks e.g. SemHub to look for similar issues; (2) checks the project's Discord server or Slack channel to see if anyone has raised something similar; (3) run a general search

- use LLMs to compose a helpful reply pointing the OP to that other issue/Discord discussion etc.

From other OSS maintainers, I've heard that being able to reliably identify duplicates would be a huge plus. Does this sound like something you'd be interested to try? Let me know how I can reach you if/when I have built something like this!

I am personally quite annoyed by all the AI slop being created on social media and even GitHub PRs and would love to use the same technology to do something pro-social.

While having a bot that auto-replies with "similar issues" pointers might make sense at a large scale (to relieve maintainers), I usually prefer to do this manually at my current scale, knowing that there's one particular instance where I pointed someone in a given direction, and want to either reuse/modify a code example block, or stitch together semantically unrelated but relevant comments & discussions together.

You might want to talk to Jovi [1] about that, he's doing something very similar.
