    To save reading the paywalled article, the site is at https://stract.com

    I’ve only done a single search but it gave me a summary at the top, and some discussion forums in a different format. I’m impressed so far!

      It’s a free account, like the one you made so you can write your comment. I’d hardly call it paywalled.

        Tbh I just saw it needed a login and scrolled back up to the link without reading further, so was obviously a bit hasty in my assessment of it being a paywall.

      I did a few searches but had terrible results.

      Searching for “Tokyo”, I got a summary about some Indonesian food chain. I had to scroll down quite a bit to get info about the city.

      It looks interesting, but seems far from ready.
