Someone on Reddit investigated the 1 year depreciation for many popular 2024 car models by gathering used car prices I love seeing when someone has put time and effort into gathering data and presenting it in such a useful way for the benefit of others

The reply strategy was something I had seen multiple times on social media. I thought I'd try and see if it'd work for the free tool I created to help Airbnb hosts. The result? Unlike my usual posts I was still getting engagement weeks later.

FINALLY a proper social analytics platform is here. No more having a separate tab open to check the performance of each individual account. One place. All the KPIs. Got my fingers crossed Bluesky will be the next supported platform.

Much better UX. No more overflow. Decided to have a max of 6 features displayed in both Must-Have Features and Nice-To-Have Features to prevent overflow. I debated whether it'd be better to show the most recently selected features but felt the total number is enough.

"How many photos do you have in your listing?" "16" "I'm only seeing 5" The photos is the key factor to advertise a property and our app was having an issue consistently uploading all the photos. The issue? Using optimistic updates to make hosts think the photos were uploaded.

Nearly finished the design for the new search in Caza de Casa Previous filter page let you know how many results would be returned and I realised this was missing from the new design so now that's been added I still need to add a way to reset the filters back to defaults
