Best Time to Buy (BTTB) – See the best time to buy stuff and save money
Hey HN! I wanted to show you BTTB, a site I've been building off-and-on for the past year or so. I did all the end-to-end coding and design and enlisted the help of a few professional researchers and writers to gather and aggregate data. My background is in frontend engineering, design, and product development. BTTB is a web app that illustrates the best time to buy common products (e.g. washing machines, snowblowers, TVs, fitness equipment, etc.) and notifies you the next time it's a good time to buy. I also built some cool indicators like sale rarity. Why I built it: We bought a new house…

I made a tool to find the best time to buy your new phone2024 · theupgraderadar.com · ▲37A few months ago my Pixel 4A phone was dying so I started thinking about upgrading to a newer model. I didn't want to get hit with buyer's remorse if a price drop happened after buying, due to a new model being announced or released. After digging around, it turns out that understanding the lifecycle of even the most popular phones isn’t that easy. That's why I've made this simple site: keeps tabs on phones lifecycles and gives you a heads-up on upcoming sales seasons to nail your purchase timing. At the moment it only covers the big Android players—Samsung and Google, but I'm keen to expand…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
