BestDiskPrices
Hey everyone! My name is Toutoulliou, and I’m a beginner developer passionate about building websites. To practice and improve my skills, I decided to take on a real-world project: a price comparison tool for tech products like SSDs, HDDs, NAS devices, Micro SD cards, USB drives, and more. I used Django for the backend, TailwindCSS and Flowbite for the design, and even managed the deployment myself using Docker. It was a real challenge, but so rewarding! My website pulls data from eBay and AliExpress APIs to bring you the best deals on the market. And here’s some exciting news: integration…

Disk Deals2025 · diskprices-frontend.vercel.app · ▲7Hi HN, I built a very minimal website that tracks disk prices from Amazon and presents them in a clean, sortable table: https://diskprices-frontend.vercel.app/ . Motivation: I often needed to quickly check the cost per TB/GB across different storage types (HDDs, SSDs, flash cards, tapes, etc.) and found most existing tools too cluttered or outdated. So I decided to build a lightweight frontend that fetches the data and makes it easy to compare. Features: Sort by price per TB or per GB. Filter by capacity, brand, media type, or condition. Focused only on Amazon data for…
RAM Prices2024 · ramstickprices.com · ▲241I 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 :)

MiniPCs.zip – Charting the Pareto frontier of Mini PCsJun 2026 · minipcs.zip · ▲115The 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/

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
