Hey Product Hunt 👋
Likes and view counts tell you a video was *loud* — not whether the audience
agreed, pushed back, or just showed up to argue. PJQ reads the comments and
answers that.
It sorts every comment into 7 stances (real support, disagreement, neutral,
off-topic, thin hype, bots/spam, and "own-agenda" shills) and returns one
verdict: a net-mood score + a controversy index — computed strictly from
substantive comments, so a bot wave or a fan-noise flood can't fake a
90%-positive reading.
The fun engineering bit: v1 ran every comment through an LLM — slow, expensive,
single point of failure. I distilled it into a small fine-tuned multilingual
model exported to ONNX that runs on a cheap CPU box. Deterministic, no API bill.

There's a REST API and an MCP endpoint too, so AI clients can pull verdicts
directly. First analysis is free: pjq.life
Would love your feedback — what would you point it at first, and what other
signals should an audience "verdict" include?
