Ya - definitely want to add end user score. Still trying to figure out how to implement accordingly.

Thanks! Stack is Next.js, Algolia, and MongoDB. Scraper is built using Node.js and ScraperAPI.

Thanks! The site's been up for a few months now, so it's been making a bit of coin. I realized that long-tail SEO works really well for user acquisition, because there is a lot of content that can be created with the data. I wrote a blog post about how it's been working for me: https://tavis.cc/long-tail-seo/

Transparently, the site is close to 50K visitors/month now, and resulting in about $10/1K visitors (i.e. $500/month).

So to grow revenue, I need to figure out a combination of increasing SEO performance and monetization, which I guess would be better content (SEO), ads ($$), better affiliate deals ($$), and maybe a subscription of some sort ($$).

The bigger plan is to use the technology we're building for https://reviewr.ai and create a much better version of RecoRank.

Sure. To be clear, I've had experience building websites with Shopify and WordPress - so was familiar with HTML and CSS. I've also had experience scraping using applications like OutWit Hub.

So "learned to code" means learned Node.js, React, Next.js, Algolia, MongoBD, and running cron jobs at the most basic level to pull this off.

I have a marketing/design background, so I feel pretty comfortable making things look professional. Over the past couple of months, a developer friend of mine has been coaching me to improve my understanding of the stack I've been working with.

For reviewr.ai, I've teamed up with two talented developers, so I'm focused mostly on growth with that business.

As someone who loves Rotten Tomates to pick movies and shows to watch, I was surprised when I realized there wasn't anything similar for tech.

Knowing nothing about building web applications, I created this from scratch over many months of self-education.

https://RecoRank.com adds new products and reviews every day, so the content is always fresh.

I've personally found this info useful and I hope you do as well!

Also, it's been a fast leap since this project has come together. I've recently teamed up with the guys from https://BuyForLife.com to help other businesses achieve similar results. It's called https://reviewr.ai if anyone's curious.

Greetings!

For the past year, I've been working on various review analysis projects. Last week, I finally got access to OpenAI, so I thought it would be cool to see how well it summarizes YouTube reviews.

I'm a huge MKBHD fan and thought it would be fun to see how well OpenAI summarizes his videos. The results are pretty amazing to me. Almost too good.

Let me know what you guys think!

I also wrote a blog post about how it works and what else is possible: https://tavis.cc/mkbhd-tldr/
