For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about? - Given a listing, how far is it from all the things and people I care about? Personally this was fueled by my own frustrations when I was apartment hunting in NYC. I was frustrating to have to juggle so many Google Maps tabs when I was evaluating a listing, and it was also annoying to not have full confidence that I was even searching in the right places. I wanted to be close to work, a Trader Joe's, and a…

Hi HN! A few days ago I saw a graph[0] that showed the # of job postings on HN was declining. I started wondering what other trends I could glean from the data, so I created this! You can filter through the top level comments by keyword; for example you can filter by "remote" to see the massive spike around March 2020. Another interesting thing I found is that I can compare hiring across cities. I hope you enjoy! I made it so that the links to your search are sharable so if you have some interesting data you should be able to just link the page you're on! [0]…

I created https://www.howmuchrent.com last Friday to help bring this kind of transparency to Ireland, allowing people to submit their rents. Would love to get any HN feedback on the idea/website.

Hey HN, I am the creator of senatestockwatcher.com and im finally happy to say that the same data that is filed from the House of Representatives is now live for everyone to watch, report against, and use. https://housestockwatcher.com When Senate Stock Watcher was released, the US was in the midst of an election year and after the COVID market crash the SEC had opened some investigations on 3 Senators for insider trading allegations. My interest in politics and finance lead me to build that website, but the number one question I always got was "where is the houses' data?" The…

Congressional trading data is relatively commoditized, but I couldn't find any open-source version with the features I wanted. The data is lagged (median 28 days from trade to disclosure, and 19% miss this deadline), but there's still interesting patterns to explore. Repo: https://github.com/kadoa-org/congress-trading-monitor Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements!

Hey HN, excited to share a side project I’ve been working on for the past few months. This started after getting frustrated trying to figure out where to live. I wanted an easy way to see how an area was changing. Are schools improving or getting worse? Is housing inventory increasing or decreasing? How does this compare to historic levels? Search Away brings together housing, income, school, census and crime data for over 33,000 zip codes and 87,000 schools. Housing data is updated monthly. All other information is updated when more recent data is published (every few months). Hope this…

Hi HN, I built AffordWhere to answer a question I kept running into: “If I earn X, where can I actually afford to live comfortably?” The site lets you compare cities based on income, rent, taxes, and day-to-day costs, and see how far a salary realistically goes in each place. It’s intentionally simple: Focused on affordability rather than averages Designed for relocation and remote-work decisions No account required I’d appreciate feedback on: Whether the affordability framing is useful Missing cost factors you’d expect Data accuracy or methodology concerns Link:…

Hi I'm Ryan, the creator of Tariffstatus.com. I woke up wondering what tariffs were active and what was scheduled. However, when I started searching the web, it was a quagmire of news sites and long articles that didn't give me a simple and clear answer - the government sites were even worse. Also, I imagine they will be constantly changing. I wanted this for myself, but I'm also hopeful it helps others. I plan to keep it up to date. Many of these tariffs are having and will have a significant impact on both consumers and business owners. Trying to bring a bit of order to the chaos! I’d love…

Hi HN, https://companies.bx.tc My colleague and I put together this tool for easily searching UK company data. We run a few server side batches daily to extract data from various government sources before linking it all together in (what is now) a fairly large database. We're also using this project as a way to test out a new JS UI library we built (similar to Vue, but a bit faster) to see how it stands up in a real project. We'd love to hear your feedback and any ideas you have for how we can improve the dashboard! Thanks :)

Something I've been working on this weekend: visualising climate change in the Netherlands. https://koenvangilst.nl/blog/rising-temperatures I particularly liked the heatmap with monthly temperature data since the 1900s. It's a lot of scrolling, but you can clearly see that climate is accelerating since the '90s.

Heyy HN. We’re celebrating 2 years of Bend’s existence as a company and we’ve launched a new API to help you understand the climate impact of business activity, and/or embed climate data in your application. For most companies, 80% of your emissions are from the goods and services that you buy. Unless you’re running a power plant or an airline, odds are you’re not directly combusting lots of fossil fuels. But literally everything we buy has some upstream climate impact, whether it’s the flights and Ubers that we purchase, or our AWS bills (that run on grids powered by natural gas), all…

I've been building a bunch of US geography tools/games/visualizations and thought folks on HN might like this one. There are also drive-time and bike-time tools available on the same page. For folks interested, all of the data comes from OpenStreetMap and the US Census at the moment - OSM for routing and points interest and the US Census for population data. Anonymous users can use it 5x/day. I put up a waitlist page to gauge interest in a paid version but there's no way for the public to make an account - feel free to bypass the limits in an incognito tab. The site is US-only…

Threw this together pretty quick because I kept seeing different takes on the new tax bill everywhere. Some sources saying it's bad for lower/middle class, others saying everyone saves money - figured I'd just build something to visualize it instead of trying to figure out who's right. Used Cursor to help build the website and make it interactive so you can plug in your own info. Hosted using Cloudflare pages. This definitely isn't perfect and you shouldn't use it for actual tax planning or anything serious. I'm not a tax expert, just someone who wanted to see the numbers laid out…
