Business Idea Evaluation: shopping list app with optimal route planning

Sun, 10/27/2024 - 6:05am

When doing in-person shopping at walmart, I often find myself unable to locate items and walking repeated distances because of bad route planning. The walmart app is useful, but if my shopping list is long, searching each product in the app gets inconvenient.

What I've created is an app where you only need to input your product search queries, and the app:

automatically populates product information such as prices, picture, aisle, and title

reorders your shopping list in a way that minimizes walking and saves time.

Obviously ordering pickup or delivery also saves time, but compared to in-person shopping, I'd say both have pros and cons. My app basically enhances the in-person shopping experience but doesn't save as much time as ordering delivery because at the end of the day, you're still walking around in the store.

To publish the app, I'd need to add a lot more things such as a landing page, error handling, server configurations, etc etc etc, which all goes beyond the scope of my personal use. So before I do all that, I'm trying to talk to potential users. I appreciate your feedback!

Ask HN: My Boss Offers $100k Reward to Hack or Modify His Website's Data

Sun, 10/27/2024 - 5:43am

My boss, who operates in the grey industry (not in Europe or the US), runs an online entertainment platform that includes sports betting, etc.

I’ve been searching online and found some information that I hope will help me modify the betting content. For example, I want to change a “buy big” bet to a “buy small” bet.

The data I’ve collected suggests that SQLi and BOLA are the directions I should research.

I would greatly appreciate any valuable advice from everyone. Which direction should I take to accomplish this task?

I also hope to find someone who can collaborate with me on this project.

Very sorry, my native language is not English. Thank you for your valuable time.

Show HN: I built EstateLead AI – lead generator boosting agent productivity 10x

Sun, 10/27/2024 - 5:32am

As a former real estate agent, I discovered a critical pain point in early 2023. Every day, I spent 3-4 hours manually copying leads from Zillow - phone numbers, emails, and property details. This tedious process was stealing valuable time I could have spent with clients.

I realized this wasn't just my problem. Thousands of agents were stuck in this same time-consuming routine, manually gathering leads one by one. There had to be a better way.

Over the next a months, I faced numerous challenges building EstateLead AI: - Ensuring reliable data extraction - Maintaining compliance with data privacy regulations - Creating an intuitive interface for non-technical users - Scaling the system to handle thousands of requests

After countless iterations and feedback from 50+ beta testers, I'm excited to launch EstateLead AI with these key features:

Key Features: - One-click lead extraction from Zillow listings - Up to 18,000 leads per month with phone numbers - Export to Excel/CSV for easy CRM integration - Coverage for both US and Canadian markets - Built-in compliance with data protection rules - Simple browser extension interface

The tool has already helped 600+ agents save 40+ hours per week on lead generation. Early users report a 10x increase in their prospecting efficiency.

I'd love for the HN community to try it out and share your thoughts. What features would make this even more valuable for real estate professionals?

P.S. First 100 users get 40% off (19 spots remaining), and we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.
