    I was inspired by this discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39066480 about diskprices.com last month, and decided to go ahead and make a site for RAM. It's my first time building anything like this! Any tips / suggestions / calls for complete overhaul are welcome :)

    Started PC flipping as a hobby (buying used parts, building PCs, and selling them for a small profit). Found that focusing on used parts on eBay gives the best margins - like finding a GPU 20% below market, pairing it with other deals, and selling the complete build locally. I discovered that eBay marketplaces (.com, .de, .co.uk etc.) often have different prices for the same items! Or just completely different items. So I built an eBay price scanner for PC components. It scans listings across different Ebay markets, calculates median prices, and flags anything selling below market (including…

    The overall idea is to chart out the thousands of Mini PCs by benchmark and reveal the Pareto Front so you can get the most Compute per Dollar. Definitely a labor of love as I have a number of Mini PCs for my "homelab" (TrueNAS, piHole, Plex, basic stuff). It uses Gemini to extract specs from listings (since they're not often strongly categorized). Quick blog post here: https://luke.zip/posts/pareto-pcs/

    In the responses to Low Cost Mini PCs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41389931), I saw some requests for a similar site but for laptops. To improve on existing tools like https://pcpartpicker.com/products/laptop/, I added PassMark scores (with a lot of regex!) and live prices from Amazon. I also added panel types and refresh rates, and sorted results by a weighted rating, which takes the number of reviews into account. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, thanks! P.S: you can sort by multiple columns using ctrl+click (thanks to…

    I've made a GPU comparison site: https://gpu-prices.com/US/ Yes, there was one yesterday - I got beaten to it. This one is different in that I've put a lot of work into categorisation, so you can filter down quite precisely. For example, VRAM-per-dollar, limiting to Nvidia, and a minimum performance score allow you to find good ML GPUs. It currently supports Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the US. The tech stack is Python for data pull and static site generation then Cloudflare Pages for actually serving the site. It updates three times a day, but I could increase…

    TL;DR: I hated writing tests, my end to end's never worked, and dealing with browsers was brutal. AI made this 10x worse because it'll change random stuff across your app that will pass unit tests but break something obvious. So I wanted and then built a system that handles everything for you and then updates you with results after each commit or PR (configurable). LMK what you all think! The Long: I was writing a ton of code, particularly with AI for a previous startup idea and kept feeling like things were moving really quick until I tried to go and use pieces of it. This isn't uncommon in…
