Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 4, Documentation: 6, Utility: 5)

Robin is an unofficial iOS/Android X (Twitter) client that wraps the mobile web experience in a WebView and injects client-side filters to enforce a chronological Following-only feed, hide promoted posts and chrome, filter keywords, mark a "caught up" point, and offer AI-powered fact-checking on long-press. It's a pragmatic, opinionated anti-algorithm take on social reading, though it leans on DOM injection into x.com rather than a real API, making it inherently fragile.

Target audience: end users wanting a distraction-free social feed; mobile developers interested in WebView-based clients
