I love this, how are you sourcing compatibility data?


Thanks! I'm using this as an experience to teach myself mainly. I'm not an expert cyclist but I prefer to DIY when I can.

For example, I looked at tires and wheels as a good litmus test. What were the minimum pieces of information that you need to know to pick the right tire or wheel and make those the only filters on the site.

In terms of expertise, I've mainly farmed out to the cyclist community on Mastodon and served requests on a first-come-first-serve basis. For example, one person pointed me to sheldonbrown.com for their article on tires and it was really illuminating.


Agreed! I've found that staying in my workflow leads to fewer inadvertent context switches (like ChatGPT in-browser -> HN -> ... -> rabbit hole). MacGPT looks great. I created a similar plugin for my Windows keystroke launcher (think Alfred/Spotlight) for the same reason. If anyone's interested, you can check it out here: https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint


I shared the exact same sentiment when I transitioned to Windows after a long period of only using macOS. A few nice candidates I found include Wox [1], Keypirinha [2], and ueli [3].

I eventually began building a C# launcher myself and over time it has become my daily driver - feel free to check it out at https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint.

I found the Firefox extension "Search Filter" [1] to be immensely helpful at combating SEO spam. It allows you to define a list of URL patterns to remove from the search result list altogether, you can use mine as a start for your own if you wish [2].

Thank you for the link. uBlacklist [1] is a more popular alternative, also featured recently on HN [2]

I have been using Magnet [1] for a long while and although it is not as flexible as Fancy Zones appears to be I am very happy with the extra functionality it provides.
