Hi HN, sharing a weekend hack: Botscent, a library to detect agents on your site

* Detects Instinct, Muse, Dot, Grok Bot and many others

* Works with ~all TypeScript and Python setups

* Tiny (5KB), 0 deps, starts in 5ms

Try it in your project to hide ads, change prices, log agents, simplify pages or just block agents entirely.
