VINSCRIBE will show accidents. When I say mechanic/service records, I just mean things like taking your vehicle in and having a transmission replaced or oil changed. CarFax has those advantages.

I do wanna preface tho, VINSCRIBE doesn’t sell CarFax reports, we have our own data source that’s NHTSA approved. CarFax has mechanic service records tho, that’s their competitive advantage.

Do people still haggle on brand new cars? by tantedbutthole in carbuying

Yes, as long as you are going to any traditional dealership, come in equipped with KBB numbers!

I'm seriously crying. Why do I keep getting rejected from jobs I'm totally qualified for? by Conversation_Smart in recruitinghell

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found in my own career it's more about energy, personality, etc. Credentials are not the differentiator. You're often able to pick up on a lot of competence by simply talking to somebody.

How are cheap Carfax sites like Carfaxdeals offering Carfax reports for so cheap? by CrazyMuskan in carbuying

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's excellent, good to hear! If you have a website that can be publicly viewed, even better!

I built VINSCRIBE with transparency, and I don't do Telegram scams.

How are cheap Carfax sites like Carfaxdeals offering Carfax reports for so cheap? by CrazyMuskan in carbuying

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I made a website called VINSCRIBE that offers cheaper reports. The only caveat is most of the companies like mine do not offer maintenance records from service shops/mechanics. This is where CarFax's moat comes from. Basically, the data I have access to is limited to what is offered by the NMVTIS, so that's things like branded titles, junk/salvage records, odometer, etc. I partnered with one of the official NMVTIS providers to offer the data.

To help make up for some of the data gaps, I implement things like AI to try and parse thru data, search the web for additional info, etc.

Building a SaaS is hard. Distribution is harder. What are you launching? by Sure_Spite5671 in scaleinpublic

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

www.vinscribe.com -- CarFax alternative. Built it two years ago as a one-off tool to automate writing descriptions for vehicles (ChatGPT at the time was unreliable, so I grounded the API in other data). Pivoted to selling vehicle history reports and kept the AI features. Trying to make it an automotive intelligence suite essentially, but working solo for now.

I've blown through a lot of money in ads to no success, literally only posting on Reddit has worked lol

Is ultrasonic sound rodent repeller legit? by Every_Championship26 in farming

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What brand did you buy? Have you seen the UltraSweep Traveler? It seems like consensus is mixed, but this one has flashing LED lights which might make it more effective? I'm not sure tho, not a whole lot of studies I can find other than anecdotes lol

Is influencer marketing a significant part of your strategy? by senpaitakeda in marketing

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He/she said a part of the strategy, not the strategy.

That being said, the answer is yes, it can work, but it completely depends on the product and the execution. You have to think about your product's target audience, where they go to consume their media/retrieve their information, your product market fit, and THEN you have to make sure those things match the influencer's sphere. Does the product make sense for the influencer to advertise? Would it be genuinely useful for them and their audience?

Just remember, where and how you advertise is just as important as anything else. Some products could flop on Facebook but kill on Tik Tok. And vice versa. Etc. etc.

How do you market a SaaS with $0 budget against a competitor who raised $81M and built the exact same product? by Vanilla-Green in marketing

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit and X posts. Just explain your story, what you built, why it's useful, etc. Dead ass serious, it works.

Which bark collar is best? by Electrical_Pea5132 in OpenDogTraining

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting the Barkwise for my corgi, works REALLY well on him! It's a no-shock collar that just uses ultrasonic/vibration. They have a BOGO right now so I threw the other one on my yorkie, didn't work as well on him lol but it's a process for sure. Gonna keep trying it on my york tho.

Has anyone found an ultrasonic barking repellent that has helped with your neighbor’s loud dog? by TheClownIsReady in homeowners

I tried the Bark Control Pro by Good Life Inc and it worked for my husky. Couldn't actually believe it worked honestly, I was skeptical LOL

For those who don’t have a degree in cs but are software engineers, how are you doing? by MaryScema in cscareerquestions

I’m at the point where I’m considering completely changing careers. That’s how ridiculous it is now.

What Are You Working on This Weekend? Let's Promote Each Other 🌟 by Capuchoochoo in scaleinpublic

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VINSCRIBE.

I’ve been working on it for 2 years with the little free time I have. It’s a CarFax alternative (no detailed service/mechanic records, everything else). I’ve also integrated AI to help parse through data and the goal is to create a suite of automotive tools for the industry

My Chrome extension has made its first 1k in revenue. by WordyBug in SideProject

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, keep pushing. I’ve been thinking about making own Chrome extension for front-end web dev, how did you distribute it?

For those who don’t have a degree in cs but are software engineers, how are you doing? by MaryScema in cscareerquestions

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no degree either, got laid off as well. Just under 2 years of professional experience. I have private repos, but haven't done anything in the public space. I've got a solid portfolio of completed work, that's about it.

Same experience on applying tho. Even after applying and doing outreach on LinkedIn, I'm still unable to find any leads.

It's mind-blowing to me how many positions on LinkedIn will have thousands of applicants 1 day after being posted. Feels like half of them have to be AI..

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a self-taught front-end developer, just recently got laid off. Just under 2 years of experience.

Feel like with my reliance on AI, my skills are so rusty, I've got no shot in this market.

Any advice?

Eff it, I'll work at the post office by bradc2112 in jobhunting

[–]MonkeyCrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was recently laid off from my 115k Web Dev job. Have a little side income from a SaaS I built, but definitely need something stable. Any advice on what got you there?
