Readit NewsI'm also available for other work/projects. I'm a full stack developer with a decade of experience working in government tech and real estate. Feel free to reach out!
In what I believe is still the spirit of the question though, I discovered Maltese these week and have added it to my casual study. It’s a Semitic language (closely related to Arabic), written in the latin script, with about 40-50% of its vocabulary being Italian/Sicilian based. It’s become my new obsession
I work a lot with smaller investors, in real estate, private money lending, etc. It's sometimes hard to do due diligence on someone, and after having a couple bad deals and realize over 30 people were scammed, I wished there was a simple review site where you could see someone's past reviews.
Site is 80% there, hoping to enter beta in the next month.
On top of that, it uses a lightweight AI model to read product descriptions and filter based on things like ingredients (e.g., flagging peanut butter with BPA by checking every photograph of the plastic or avoiding palm oil by reading the nutrition facts) or brand lists (e.g., only showing WSAVA-compliant dog foods). Still reviewing results manually to catch bad extractions.
Started this to replace a spreadsheet I was keeping for bulk purchases. Slowly adding more automation like alerting on price drops or restocking when under a threshold.
And/or also curious if there is a way to enter in a list of items I want and for it to calculate which store - in aggregate - is the cheapest.
For instance, people often tell me Costco is much cheaper than alternatives, and for me to compare I have to compile my shopping cart in multiple stores to compare.
Is there anyway to sync with Audible? Even if it's a hacky chrome extension reading off the audible website?
I asked for feedback, and the recruiter sounded frustrated (about the internal process), because they had a moving bar on what was wanted from the hiring managers. I know I hadn't completely aced one of the interviews (they had me do a second one), and apparently they thought it was good enough on initial review, but when coming back to review it again it was not good enough.
It seems like they are going through growing pains as a company.
