What it does
CarBluff scans a used-car listing from Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or anywhere else and returns a 0-100 trust score in seconds, checking 20+ known scam patterns: deposit-before-viewing, Zelle/wire/gift-card demands, shipping and escrow stories, below-market pricing, stolen photos, and more. On Facebook (which hides listings) you just screenshot the ad and your chat with the seller and it reads them on your device. First scan is free, no account needed.
Paste a used-car listing link and get a 0-100 trust score in seconds. 20+ scam checks: phishing links, payment red flags, below-market pricing. Free forever, no account.
We couldn't open that listing (Facebook keeps some behind a login). Copy the ad's title and description and paste them here. Paste your chat with the seller too. That's where most scams show up. Every red flag to check before you pay. Free and printable. You’ll also get the occasional scam pattern we’re seeing. Unsubscribe any time. Example check of a known scam listing. It is not one of your own checks. CarBluff checks what you paste for known scam signs. It can't verify the car itself, so see it in person before you send any money. Scam checks are always free. Full Report credits unlock the Deal Score, the condition read, and the buy-or-walk verdict for any saved car. Credits…from carbluff.com

CarCheck – Car Buying Checklist App2024 · usefulchecklists.com · ▲164Hey HN! A few years ago my brother in-law was looking to purchase his first car. He was struggling to know what to look for when going to car dealerships and felt quite overwhelmed with the financial and practical decisions required. Not that I have any particular expertise with cars or the engineering involved, but through my own experiences purchasing cars and owning them I gave him some advice and "tips". As anyone would. Things only morphed from there, I spent the next couple of years in my spare time learning to code, researching, and developing CarCheck. It's been a journey! Hindsight…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
