Covers what Prometheus actually is (member-only beta gift-link search at kottke.org/prometheus, no API, no RSS, no terms page -- all verified at the source, including 404s on every plausible endpoint), where a gift-link action would slot into the existing reader ("Find another source" in ReaderScreen/LinkReaderScreen overflow, the process-wide CookieManager seam BrowserScreen already documents), and what it would cost. Recommends NOT building against Prometheus: it is member-only (Peter isn't a member), one day old, and the only available integration would be scraping a members-only page. Recommends instead subscribing to the public sources it harvests -- mastodon.social's #giftlink RSS and the public Bluesky gift-link feed, both verified reachable unauthenticated -- and waiting for Prometheus to ship a feed or a URL-lookup endpoint before building anything. Two findings worth keeping either way: the app has no paywall state at all (a paywalled page lands as NoContent or a successful teaser extraction, and ReaderExtractor's own comment records why thin-result detection must stay narrow), so there is no reliable automatic trigger for a gift-link offer; and Mastodon tag feeds carry no <item><title>, which FeedParser leaves as "", so subscribing to #giftlink today would show blank titles.
