I never thought of doing this for a fandom style wikipedia. This would be fascinating for fictional works with huge lore and character sets like the Tolkein universe or the Star Wars universe etc.

In lieu of scraping Wikpedia, could this project be sped up by downloading the instance of Wikipedia itself? It's not that jumbo of a file size.

When you consider what is going on in the used car markets, I think that this makes sense. The premise of this calculation is around profit, and unfortunately the low end cars have increased in price greater than what they can command while renting on Turo.

The rental premiums were key in designing this.

Hey! Thanks for your kind words :)

I’m new here and it’s nice to see the HN crowd embrace this!

I used a service called Drivly:

They call themselves a “Plaid for Automotive” but I consider them more akin to an AWS because they’re building out this fundamental level infrastructure and data integrations that unlock the whole automotive world for entrepreneurship. Without a service like this, I don’t think that I could’ve built Carculator.

Cars are the second most expensive asset but unlike homes which are number one, are even harder to do anything with programmatically or entrepreneurially.
