realty_geek··on YC: Requests for Startups
I created an open sauce project called propertywebbuilder for creating real estate websites many years ago. I got distracted with other projects, but recently I've started looking for someone to work with to life again. If anyone is interested please reach out to me.
realty_geek··on Show HN: Anki/Duolingo-like app using educational YouTube videos
I believe readlang has similar functionality.
realty_geek··on The GPT store is live
And it is as boring as I thought it would be...
realty_geek··on Ask HN: Does anyone know how ChatGPT's new learning capability works?
The custom gpts bubble seems to be already past its peak:

Unless the gptstore changes this.

realty_geek··on Happy New Year!
I prefer this too the other thread which is too crowded. My prediction for 2024:

It will be the year of gipety / gipeties ;)

realty_geek··on Ask HN: What will you be working on over xmas?
Will finally do some introductory videos for gipeties.com
realty_geek··on Sam Altman is asking "what would you like OpenAI to build/fix in 2024?"
You want openai to have ethics?
realty_geek··on Show HN: Custom GPTs for Developers
Feel free to submit your GPTs to gipeties.com

I will try them out first though before adding them so if they don't work well they will not be added...

realty_geek··on GPT Store
Would be nice to be able to create your own collections like https://gipeties.com/ does.
realty_geek··on Ask HN: Why is OpenAI firing Sam Altman such a big deal?
A lot of people are building GPTs and want to know how they can monetise them.

The GPTs shop is not yet active and many directory sites like gipeties.com have sprung up to fill the gap.

Which way the cookie crumbles will affect how the directory sites and the people creating gipeties will do.

realty_geek··on Ask HN: Who Wants to Collaborate or a Cofounder?
Looking for someone to collaborate with me on monetising in this: https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder
realty_geek··on Ask HN: What is one tech product you still can’t comprehend how it’s built?
Second Life
realty_geek··on Show HN: A game that tests how well you know your local area
Nice simple idea, great execution. I would love to test some of my local estate agents to see how well they know their city ;)
realty_geek··on Show HN: Send private messages to anyone on HN
Don't think this solves a real problem but could be interesting if you open sourced it
realty_geek··on Show HN: Windi – knowledge management and sharing platform based on short notes
Very nicely done! Curious to know if you used a particular tool to build your documentation pages...
realty_geek··on Show HN: Create your own prediction market in two minutes
Could be interesting for the real estate sector
realty_geek··on Vue 3 as the New Default
I moved from using vuetify with nuxtjs to using the quasar framework because they successfully moved to vue 3 and I haven't looked back. Quasar is hugely underrated
realty_geek··on Show HN: My free Ruby book (CC license)
Many thanks for this. Very generous of you.
realty_geek··on Show HN: Voiceliner – Capture structured braindumps on the go
Crikey - my Xmas present has just arrived!! I have never gone from seeing something on hn and having it installed and loved so quickly!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And open sourcing it too - can't love you more ;)

realty_geek··on Show HN: I made my own no-code platform
I'm happy to hear you got a lot of extra visitors and new apps created. I imagine that if you get a significant number of users you will be able to figure out which use cases are most popular and worth focusing on.

The real estate implementations are nice but to be honest the functionality provided right now by those templates don't seem sufficient to make many people willing to pay for it.

I'll be happy to have a chat with you about my experience in the sector and what sort of functionality could make your product interesting.

I found you on linkedin so I'll send you a connection request on there.

realty_geek··on Show HN: I made my own no-code platform
Hey Francois, congratulations on building a great product. It deserves to attract a much higher ranking on hackernews that it has got. Might be worth waiting a few days and posting again.

I can imagine it sucks when you have worked so hard on a product and it does not get the recognition it deserves.

I have been working on a website builder of sorts but I have focused on the real estate sector. I haven't been successfull enough to be completely sure that my advice is correct but I suspect your tool would do better if it was more focused on one or two products. As a creator you are rightfully proud that when someone arrives on your site they have a lot of options. I personally found that overwhelming and confusing. Hope this little bit of feedback can help you improve your product rather than disappoint you.

Best of luck with it!!!!!

realty_geek··on About that time I had an outburst during the Y Combinator Interview
Wow, my estimation of you had cranked up a fair bit - very nice of you to chip in ;)
realty_geek··on Ask HN: What are you surprised isn’t being worked on more?
Real estate tools that actually help buyers and sellers! The vast majority of tools in the real estate space are there to help estate agents / realtors.
realty_geek··on No More Free Work from Marak: Pay Me or Fork This
Timely post, I'm just about to embark on an experiment with my open source project where I will restrict access to the newer versions. Not what I wanted to do when I initially open sourced it but seems like the only way I'll be able to keep it sustainable:

realty_geek··on Public Apology to Jeremy Howard
Is this what they call a COC-up?
realty_geek··on Show HN: I built a simple, reliable, and affordable brand monitoring service
Nice product James!! I don't have a use for it now but something I would certainly consider if I was in the market.
realty_geek··on Anyone looking for a co-founder?
I am looking for a co-founder with whom I can work on monetising this:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder

Might not be ideal for you as it is very early-stage and I have only a couple of paying clients but worth a shot anyway.

Even if its not for you, perhaps someone else who sees this might want to reach out.

realty_geek··on Store the proof of a webpage saved with SingleFile in Bitcoin
Is there a simple solution to allow people to timestamp a static webpage like Patrick McKenzie does here:

realty_geek··on Ask HN: Who's Looking for a Co-Founder?
I built this:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder

Right now I am monetizing it by providing premium real estate websites based on it. I have a ton of other features / ways of monetizing that I'd like to explore.

Leave me a message if you'd like to work with me on this.

realty_geek··on N8n.io – Workflow automation alternative to Zapier
Jump off your high horse @Sir_Cmpwn - your definition of open source did not come from the heavens. If the majority of people are happy to accept that n8n is open source, thats the end of it. Accusing him of lying is a bit aggressive.
