I buy this argument

I for one have found myself happily spending hundreds of dollars trying to build things I struggled to do in the past. And I am happy to keep things open source because I know the code is no longer the moat.

As an example, I started this almost 10 years ago:

https://github.com/RealEstateWebTools/property_web_scraper

I the past 4 days I have added more functionality to it that I ever did in all the time before.


If anyone is consider using this for real estate I would love to connect.

Why is this not getting people on here super excited???


It got me super excited!


Which makes me all the more disappointed that Birmingham (close to me) doesn't have a better startup ecosystem. It is an ideal place to benefit from London (little over an hour away) without the crazy prices. Anyone here based around the midlands, say hello / "alright bab"....


Oh dear, I bought claudeception.com on a whim - hope that doesn't upset anyone.

I had some ideas on what to host on there but haven't got round to it yet. If anyone here has a good use for it feel free to pitch me...


You can still make a list of all the times Claude was confidently incorrect.


The bandwidth requirements of that site would be very expensive


Bandwidth for text is cheap. Don't use cloud.

You could register cloudeception as well and have it tell you how much cloud bandwidth costs are daylight robbery.


Cloudeception.com


ha ha - that is actually quite a good idea ;)


"clau deception" might be a problem.


How come this is suddenly popping up everywhere?

And looking through past submissions for it on HN it seems people have tried posting about it many times but it never seems to get traction...


I was thinking the same thing. It also has an absurd number of stars (not that this necessarily is a good signal for quality but still) on Github.

From a cursory glance, it looks like a metric-F### ton of external app connectors (Telegram, Discord, etc) so you can chat with a locally hosted LLM.


memetics in action, lots of AI influencers make their living pumping the thing of the week


I have found container-use to be super useful for this.

BTW Simon, I was super happy when I heard on Theo's podcast that he will be encouraging you to monetise your work more. I'm super appreciative of your work and I'm pretty convinced that the more you profit from it, the better the universe will be!!!


For those of us who weren’t on that podcast, can you clarify who Theo is?


Sorry, yes it is Theo Brown:

https://www.youtube.com/@t3dotgg/videos

It was in one of his videos from last week.


Theo Brown? T3.gg?


No idea?

There goes the neighborhood.


Good luck with this.

AI will get you a lot of the way with this. Claude Code allowed me to bring my almost dead open source real estate website builder back to life - and it was much easier than I had expected.


Happy New Year from Nuneaton, UK!!
