If a game like this gets super popular can it be monetised?


Looks good. I created propertywebbuilder.com as an open source real estate website builder some years ago. Had wanted to do something similar to mlsync next but never got round to it.


Hi there, I'm working on something similar for the UK. Happy to chat if you'd be interested in exchanging ideas.


Please run for president Jeff! Imagine an America led by Jeff Atwood - what a dream.


That's interesting, can you explain a bit more. How would you go about transforming the focal length or depth


Almost as easy as cropping the center. Doing it well automatically is another kind of problem


Shame this post did not gain much traction. I'd be interested in hearing what others have to say. Are there other similar tools out there? Is this likely to lead to a new path for GIS apps? Might be worth reposting as a ShowHN in a few days time.


Crikey, that looks horrible...

Any ideas what that is about? Sorry I don't understand the Forbes reference.


Forbes, a name that probably makes people think about business articles, has been publishing all sorts of non-business pieces and they did extremely well on SEO because the domain has a lot of authority and inbound links.

So well that basically people were speculating the SEO part would take over the more traditional business.

Google caught up recently (as in a few weeks ago) and has heavily punished their ranks.

Ironically if you search Google for “Forbes SEO” you’ll find many articles about what happened. I think it all started with something titled “The parasitic company trying to take over Forbes”


I'd love to resurrect my open source real estate website builder:

https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder

I was quite active with updating it a few years ago but haven't had the time to work on it recently.

On another project of mine I have been using aider and co-pilot and realised I could bring property_web_builder back to life with these tools. It would motivate me massively to do this if at least one or two other people were willing to work with me on this.


I'm just at a beginner level with Ruby on Rails, but I am interested in working on it.


Hi there, sorry I've only just now seen your comment.

What is the best way to reach you?

You can send me a message on x: https://x.com/prptywebbuilder

Or via the linkedinpage for propertywebbuilder


No worries. Sent you a LinkedIn message.


I like what you've done with zeli!!

It is a shame it did not get so much traction when you did your showHn.

One thing that I think would be useful alongside your summaries would be tags for each item. Have you considered that?


Wow this is awesome. I've actually been working on something very similar. In my case though I focus on individual stories. Like the commenter above I feel audio doesn't work so well for general overview.

I haven't done a showHN yet because it's not quite ready but you can see where it's at here:

I think it would be quite a nice way to give a second life to classic episodes of past showHNs and askHNs.


I like your project a lot! Please release it.

I've been 'summarising' a lot of articles using NotebookLM's new feature and publishing them as podcasts episodes here: https://open.spotify.com/show/0C8DGPdYwZQ1cbvQsnvO6t

I've been using their service to easily draw out the key points and if the episode is a good one then I publish it on the feed.

I do think that for specific content, that a lot of gold is stored within the comments sections and reading those actually gives more insight than the article itself so I've been planning on doing a few which draw off comments from either a reddit or hacker posts which link out to some post. I'll probably do one from reddit first. Probably science focused.


Thanks - I hope to be able to release it in the next few days.

Finding the right content to use for the podcast is quite important and I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to involve the community. Currently I host the audio files and GitHub and anyone is invited to contribute to that.

I checked out your Spotify and there is some good content there but I imagine it will be hard to rank on there.

Would you be interested in collaborating? I am based in the UK and I have some ideas around location based podcasts as well.


I like it too. I enjoyed listening to it for 15 min straight.


Great to hear - thanks. I will add several more over the coming days.
