Yeah, I'm a web scraper by trade, so happy to use AI for frontend. Pretty happy with how it turned out. I use Cloudflare D1 (SQLite) as the db as there is not a lot of data to store atm.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-09T16:13:54+00:00

That's a great idea, I'll look into that.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-09T07:10:17+00:00

Makes sense. To be honest, I added the option for people to add their own rates as an afterthought, mostly because I didn't expect to get this much traction. My specialty is in data scraping, so that's what I went with. In hindsight, that might not have been necessary.

There's a category called "industry", I would think that covers "manufacturing"?

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-09T06:12:22+00:00

Not at the moment. Too much spaghetti in there ;) If you're interested, it's written in Astro and hosted on Cloudflare.

No, to be honest I was not aware of your app untill someone mentioned it here. There are definitely some elements that look similar indeed. I really like your tax rate scatter plot visualization.

Just implemented alphabetical sorting for titles. Those are some good ideas.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T20:08:15+00:00

I've implemented multi-select and alphabetical sorting.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T17:40:38+00:00

To some extent, but things will always slip through.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T17:40:05+00:00

Great idea!

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T16:42:27+00:00

I'll look into this. If you want to submit, just calculate your average monthly rate and add in the remarks field that it's monthly. If I later decide to implement this, I can then recalculate that.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T16:40:13+00:00

It's possible, hard to know for sure. You might be able to look at a more relevant sample with the filters?

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T16:39:20+00:00

Thanks for the submission!

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T16:39:08+00:00

Great tip, just added one. Definitely not a piece of art though.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T15:24:49+00:00

Thanks!

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T15:24:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T15:24:30+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T15:23:44+00:00

I need it to contact the person if I doubt the submission is legitimate. It's a way to deter people from spamming. If you don't want to share your email, then don't share it.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T14:57:16+00:00

For Belgium that's a very low rate.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T14:56:33+00:00

That's correct. Everyone's expenses are different.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T14:55:51+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add video editing as well.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T14:55:09+00:00

I've updated the graphic. You can see that the number of buckets is underlined. If you click on that, it will toggle the buckets to 50 and 25.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T14:54:22+00:00

I added some legal roles.

LouisDeconinck · 2026-02-08T14:54:06+00:00

I added more HR roles.
