I built a scraping engine where the LLM writes configs, not code

SCORE

Fitter is a scraping engine that uses LLM-generated configuration files rather than custom code to define data extraction logic. Users describe what they want to scrape and the LLM produces the config, which Fitter then executes against target pages. The project is open source and available on GitHub.

Interesting LLM-config approach to scraping, but zero traction signals and unclear differentiation from existing scraping frameworks limit confidence.
