Like.do platform tracks term provenance over definitions

The creator of Like.do, a discovery platform for emerging terms, explains the importance of tracking the provenance of new concepts rather than just their definitions. The platform stores terms as objects with attached evidence, focusing on where a term originated, when it first appeared, and how widely it is discussed. This approach aims to provide a more reliable understanding of a term's significance by separating known facts (creator, shipping date, problem addressed) from unknown aspects (actual user base, alternatives, cost structure). Like.do offers a REST API and an MCP endpoint for querying this data, with a focus on attribution traveling with the data. AI

    <p>Every week or so a word shows up that I do not recognise. A product name in a Show HN post. A phrase in a repository README. Something a client says on a call as if everyone already knows it.</p> <p>The usual response is to open the link, decide it looks interesting, save it s…
