"47,699 products, places and tools ranked from 13,576,547 opinions."

Opinions extracted using local models running on 3090s in my basement. If someone wants to take it over, you can mail me.

The travel opinions on a map are pretty neat: https://www.trustmebro.reviews/c/travel?view=map

Opinions are extracted from posts and comments using a 8x 3090 box I had spare, using Gemma models, then summaries are created from the opinions. Several methods are used to exclude spam / shills.

You can also browse by recommendations from a specific subreddit.

Still some more work to do to improve the data. If someone is interested in taking over the project, you can mail me (mail in my profile).

REMOTE mostly, but I travel often (Europe, Asia) and it's good to work in person time to time.

We make software for learning languages. The focus is on making tools, rather than content. But actually, the line between code and content is blurring with LLMs.

I am the main coder on the project and I'm looking for a coding partner to help spread the load and allow more ambitious scope. Project is solid financially.

Most of the codebase is fairly decent Typescript. Backend knowledge a plus.

I need someone with sound judgement and taste that can plan and execute independently, but that also can communicate and coordinate complex changes well. Ingenuity and resourcefulness.

I use Claude/Cursor extensively.

I'm quite interested to hear from you if you have a project that overlaps in scope with Language Reactor.

Anyone want to help with porting Rockbox?

There seems to be a sort of loose standardization around components, that are also churned out by countless factories. Wheels/motors are generally 10" or 12" size. Brake disks have either a certain 3 or 4 bolt pattern. I'm sure the electrics likewise follow some patterns.

I had the thought that it would be fun to 3d scan parts, measure and document some of these scooters, and make a database of suppliers. Then, who knows, start to make the frames and assemble in Bulgaria.

But you really need to be spending time in China to do that, and it wasn't really the right time for me then.

Another thing to note: branded scooters (niu etc.) are becoming more popular, better quality, extensive plastics, and you can probably order parts from the manufacturer.

However, some users had been reporting issues related to third-party cookies and a few other minor problems. Recently, oeffectively running a 'DROP TABLE' on 400GB of Firestore data ended up costing $2,000.

I'm looking for an auth replacement. 2 million users, mostly free users. The system needs to support Google sign-in and email authentication, possible to integrate with React Native Expo, ability to issue API keys (thats probably separate). No vendor lock-in, under $500/month, happy to self-host. Any recommendations appreciated.

Whisper is only a few tenths of a cent per hour transcribed if transcribing on your gpu though, at about 30x real-time on a 3080 etc. with batching.
