I've long been into finding deals on government auction sites (seizures, surplus sales etc.) - right now for example San Diego DHS is selling 26 tons of lead shot, with bidding starting at $1,000 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It has historically been extremely tedious though: scanning dozens of janky sites which have interminable page loading times; back buttons take you all the way back to the homepage etc. The site I built - GovAuctions - lets you search every government surplus auction at once. You can filter by location, category, and price, save items to a watchlist, and get alerts when new auctions…

After getting a lot of feedback on my project FinanceLinx.com, which helps startups and growing businesses with finding grants and government backed loans, I've decided to make some of the information public. If you go to the site now, there's an option to request a sample of the financing data. Please let me know how I can improve this, any constructive feedback is welcome!

I've been working on this the last few days after seeing a post on reddit calling for this exact website to exist. I'm hoping the email-less/account-less and open data might be appealing.

Would like to ask for your feedback and suggestions for my web project: http://www.guruka.com/ What is it: free search engine through new remote projects and jobs from 10+ sites and boards (like Freelancer.com, oDesk, eLance, Stackoverflow Jobs and others) Who needs it: pro freelancers looking for new projects or occasional freelancer who are looking for interesting projects (to practice new skills). Or even software market researchers to see what kind of projects are in demand. Thanks again for your attention

Yo HN - I built BidSonar, a free index of UK & EU public-sector contracts and grants, which today I just shipped an MCP server for. The data is all public, scattered across a bunch of gov portals - I built the platform a couple years back as an aggregator. I've been using the MCP side to keep an eye on contract/grant opportunities for my services business and our clients which I'm finding (not surprisingly) more effective than navigating the traditional UI. Data's under OGL and the EU TED reuse notice; not affiliated with any procurement body - free to use, you just need an account. For…
