Show HN: Compare Price for HDD, SSD, NAS and Morehttps://www.bestdiskprices.com/Hey everyone! My name is Toutoulliou, and I’m a beginner developer passionate about building websites. To practice and improve my skills, I decided to take on a real-world project: a price comparison tool for tech products like SSDs, HDDs, NAS devices, Micro SD cards, USB drives, and more. I used Django for the backend, TailwindCSS and Flowbite for the design, and even managed the deployment myself using Docker. It was a real challenge, but so rewarding!My website pulls data from eBay and AliExpress APIs to bring you the best deals on the market. And here’s some exciting news: integration with Amazon is in the works! The goal? To help you find the most competitive prices in just a few clicks, whether you’re looking for a high-performance SSD, a high-capacity HDD, or a Micro SD card for your camera.In addition to the price comparison tool, I’ve added a RAID calculator to help you determine the ideal configuration based on your storage and data security needs. This is just the first stepJan 14, 2025 5:36 PM

Would You Use an On-Demand Designated Driver for You and Your Car?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42684521I’m exploring the feasibility of an on-demand designated driver service aimed at solving a common dilemma: what happens to your car when you decide to enjoy a drink or two? Instead of leaving your vehicle behind or risking hefty fines, this service would send a driver on an electric scooter to your location, allowing them to drive you and your car home safely.I’d love to hear the Hacker News community’s thoughts on this concept:- Is this a service you’d consider using? - What would you expect in terms of pricing? (Flat fee, distance-based, hourly?) - What challenges or opportunities do you see in scaling a service like this?Here’s a quick rundown of the idea:- Drivers arrive at your location via electric scooter or electric bike. - They stow their scooter in your car and drive you to your destination. - Once you’re home, they use the scooter to get to their next assignment.Preliminary Pricing Ideas: - Base Fee: $10–15 - Additional Charges: $1–2 per kilometer OR $10–15 per hour - We’re Jan 13, 2025 3:33 PM

Ask HN: Want to keep my software engineering skills sharphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42681772I currently started work as a data analyst. For a data analyst, the work is quite programming heavy actually (e.g. we don't use Excel but Jupyter). But for a software engineer, the amount of programming feels low. It's more like creating quick scripts.For now, I'm having a blast but I want to keep my actual software engineering skills sharp where I also learn some stuff on a part-time basis. Preferably stuff that I can also put on a resume that will be seen as experience.What would you suggest I should do? I was thinking about joining an open-source project of a big enough scope or something. Perhaps I should insist on fun software, which would be certain web apps or game development in my case.Jan 13, 2025 9:51 AM

Ask HN: Futuristic and Sci-Fi Solutions to Fire Safetyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42677495Imagine you are tasked with a step function (10x, 100x, 1000x) improvements in fire safety, containment on a large scale basis. What would you dream up? Cost is not a factor in this case. Imagine fire becomes the existential threat. Imagine that climate change continues to be getting worse, and root causes for addressing climate change are being handled in another project.Yes, there are political, economic, societal, forest management and current technological other factors that can be instituted today for fire safety, or that are preventing better fire management, but I'm looking for the dream scenarios, not the former.Some examples I can think of:* Preventing Ember Propagation: - large shields made of nano insulating materials deployed from drones, blimps, balloons, helicopters that attract and extinguish embers. They would form "walls" around fire hotspots, and provide containment of embers. They would be net attractors of embers. Can be deployed at mega scale.* Wind prevention - WiJan 12, 2025 10:12 PM

Seeking co-founders: music tech startuphttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42675858Dear community!Long story short: I seek for prospective startup co-founders. My idea (and already working prototypes): use sensor-based wearabled to let people play music without any knowledge of skill.You can view the product here: www.musdev.euI have spent >10 years creating various music-playing/music-generating games, including usage of smartphone/smartwatch sensors, i.e., I have big experience and even bigger dedication to the topic. Some of them are present at early videos on my Youtube channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgcOxK6XFEyg6Bu6jBbU-Ag/On this channel shorts demonstrate usage of the product (2+ self-made wearable devices) allowing for playing of the music tracks.

Show HN: I built an AI-powered job offer analyzer to decode total compensationhttps://www.careercomps.io/Hey HN!I built CareerComps after spending countless hours comparing complex job offers using spreadsheets. As an indie maker who's navigated job transitions in multiple fields, I realized we needed a better way to understand total compensation packages.What it does: - Instantly analyzes total compensation including base, bonus, and equity - Adjusts for location-specific cost of living and tax implications - Provides clear breakdowns of benefits values - Uses AI to generate comprehensive analysis and recommendationsBuilt using Next.js, PerplexityAI, and Vercel Edge Functions. No database or account required - complete privacy by design.Try it out: https://careercomps.ioI built this because I believe everyone deserves access to sophisticated compensation analysis tools, especially when making life-changing career decisions.
