Operator only

Marketing help — one page per tool

Hidden operator runbook (noindex). Not on the public hub. Open from admin. Deep links: /tools/hub/marketing-help.html#scamcheck, #qrcheck, #recipe, etc. Related: Post pack (short social copy) · Cold launch (sprint order).

How to use: Treat strong tools as separate products on directories and maker posts (ScamCheck, QRCheck, Recipe Helper, PhoneCheck, Hourly Worth). Weaker utilities stay “also free on yoyosup.” Always use a unique ?ref= per channel so admin can track winners. Helpful first, link second. Don’t re-post Show HN for ScamCheck.
Empty = each block’s default ref (tool-channel)

🔥 Next Tuesday Launch Playbook Scheduled: Tuesday 8:15 AM ET

Targeted distribution playbook for Hacker News Show HN, Subreddits, and Product Hunt.

1. Hacker News (Show HN) — Submit Tuesday @ 8:15 AM ET / 5:15 AM PT
Post URL https://news.ycombinator.com/submit
Submission Title Show HN: ScamCheck – On-device scam text analyzer and free threat lookup
Submission Link https://www.yoyosup.com/tools/scamcheck/?ref=hn
Author's First Comment (Paste within 60 seconds of submitting):
Hey HN, I built ScamCheck (https://www.yoyosup.com/tools/scamcheck/?ref=hn) to help non-technical users, parents, and seniors verify suspicious texts, fake delivery links, and phone numbers without getting paywalled or forced to create an account. Technical Stack & Architecture: - Frontend: Zero framework overhead (Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS with CSS variables). Fast load time under 30ms. - On-Device OCR: Uses tesseract.js in the browser so users can drop/paste screenshots of scam texts without sending images to a server. - Threat Intelligence & Feeds: - URLs: Queries Google Safe Browsing + OpenPhish threat DBs via a Python FastAPI microservice. - Phone Reputation: Integrates directly with the official FTC Do Not Call complaint feed (api.data.gov) + optional IPQS VOIP scoring. - Short Codes: Pattern engine identifying 5-digit short codes (e.g. 57513, 22000). - Privacy: No user registration, no server-side message logging, SHA-256 anonymized keys. Built this as a free utility network (YoyoTools). Would love technical feedback from the HN community on edge-case threat patterns, regex rules, or additional open threat feeds I should integrate!
