AI SEO/GEO (or whatever it will be called eventually) monitoring for companies.

We monitor how companies/brands rank in LLMs/AI Search, we don't use the API but the user interfaces (since these are totally different). We run thousands of prompts to analyse responses and combine that with website traffic to get an understanding of what is being said and how well you rank.

I didn't anticipate Google moving to AI mode so fast, to be totally honest, which makes it really interesting because we likely see rank tracking and keyword tracking disappear in the near future.

As a fun side project, I run https://homestra.com a kind of Zillow for Europe but for second/vacation homes

Both are with a co-founder, I would not be able to run it alone at this stage, most of my time is spent on development

I'm building a Zillow for Europe (https://homestra.com) which is focused primarily on expats and remote workers. Growth is steady and revenue slowly going up (sales cycles on this are brutal).

My other side project (https://webtastic.ai) has become my main work now since it has grown quickly since the last time I posted on HN

Re:Wappalyzer no longer open source? on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @04:03PM (#37241382)

Looking at the git history they did get decent amount of contributions

they are of course completely free todo this but it does feel a little like profit from OSS and take it private once you have enough

Re:Wappalyzer no longer open source? on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @03:12PM (#37240802)

I think they changed the license a little while back to GPL v3?

Re:Wappalyzer no longer open source? on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @03:10PM (#37240784)

Here is one I found with the last commit: https://github.com/dochne/wappalyzer

Re:Wappalyzer no longer open source? on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @03:10PM (#37240776)

From a business perspective I understand closing it but building OSS and taking it private does feel a little weird?

Re:Wappalyzer no longer open source? on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @03:09PM (#37240762)

For any one interested here is a fork of the last commit (not my GH): https://github.com/dochne/wappalyzer

It feels a bit odd to benefit from open source and than make it private, of course the author is allowed to do that but it does make me cautious about other OSS projects that are getting funding now

Yeah domain knowledge/network is definitely needed, I am working with a friend who has that, it's a must in this field because it's almost set in the stone age.

Google maps was crazy expensive I went with Mapbox[1] for now which seems to have enough features and is less expensive.

We do everything manually, looks like most companies just buy data from each other and often it's not really complete. I had experience running large indexing services so that came in handy. Main costs come from storing large amounts of data, multiple databases etc.

Good question, it's for expats/digital nomads/overseas buyers. Europe is very segmented and every country has it's own real estate classified sites, these are great for internal market but lack a lot of the features to help a foreign buyer. If you are a German looking for something within Germany changes are you will not use the site for a long time (lets hope in 10 years it's a different story!)

Looks like the search model doesn't take the map into account when filtering, thanks for letting me know, will fix this ASAP

Thanks! I am teaming up with friends that are in marketing/sales, I learned the hard way that the whole romanticising of solo indiehackers is fun but you end up running in circles and never really have the time to do things perfectly. Now I have fun projects that are growing and working with amazing people

Ill add the elevator filter, thanks for your input!

There is a big update coming that is fixing/adding a lot of the features you mangent, build year etc. is added but I need to review harder on that.

Thanks for your feedback, really appreciated!

Re:Ask HN: Side project of more that $2k monthly revenue what's your p... on Friday April 14, 2023 @08:20AM (#35568687)

I run two side projects atm but they are both becoming more and more the main job.

I am building a Zillow for Europe [1]. The real estate market in Europe is a big mess and for the past 10 years not much has happend so far in proptech because it was easy to rent/sell properties. Now things are changing and I see a lot more supply coming on the platform. So far rented out 40 apartments doing around 3k in profit a month. We focus primarily on overseas/expats right now

Another project I started with a good friend from Google is Webtastic AI [2] it's a lead gen platform that indexes large amounts of data and I am using simple ML models to clean it up and make sense out of it. It does around 1.9k a month now but we just launched 2 weeks ago so that looks promising. Thanks to google cloud we got 100k credits which makes it a bit more feasible because the startup costs are extremely high.

Re:We need a middle class for startups on Tuesday May 10, 2022 @11:18AM (#31328142)

Of course, they are on the back foot. If you have a successful indie business, make good money why would you accept VC investment? If you do it's on your terms and that often means worse deals for VC's. I can't blame VC's because their business modal is really different, they need to make a 100x not a value investment.

Exactly this! with https://reason.fm I am going to try and see if I can migrate our services to R2, right now it's pretty doable with S3 or GCloud storage at scale but we can definitely get our costs down with R2!
