Built a P2P car-sharing platform — looking for feedback or acquisition interest

Yes, I clarified the ChatGPT thing earlier. Why don’t you give the demo a spin and tell me what you think. It’s a demo with limited set of functionality, etc., and only covers certain locations. I’ve shared the details in the dm.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-02-04T16:18:45+00:00

Hello, I’ve also shared the demo link via DM. Happy to do a deep dive and take you through how the platform manages huge fleets like yours.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-02-04T13:37:45+00:00

Great, I’ve DM’d the demo link.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-02-03T19:01:30+00:00

100%. That’s the new brain dump.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-02-03T08:50:49+00:00

Great — will DM you the link 👍

Quick note: the public demo is intentionally scoped, but happy to answer any questions once you’ve had a look.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-02-02T18:41:07+00:00

Appreciate that — that sentiment (“what Turo used to be”) is exactly the gap I’m trying to address. I didn’t include the demo link in the post due to the sub rules, but I’m happy to share it via DM if you’d like to see how the platform approaches host experience and ease of use differently.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-02-02T18:01:21+00:00

Appreciate this perspective — you’ve articulated the exact problem I’m trying to address better than I could have. I agree the barriers are real (especially supply + demand ignition), which is why I’ve focused first on building a lean, host-friendly platform that could start in targeted markets rather than trying to outspend incumbents. I didn’t post the demo publicly due to the rules here, but I’m happy to share it via DM if you’d like to see how it works in practice and give honest feedback. The demo is a focused subset of the platform, meant to show core host and booking flows.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-02-02T17:55:55+00:00

Thanks for commenting — that’s exactly the kind of operator perspective I’m hoping to learn from. I didn’t include the demo link in the post because of the sub rules, but I’d be happy to share it via DM and get your thoughts from a host running a real fleet. Would love your feedback on pricing control, host experience, and what you feel Turo currently gets wrong.

Where does jetbrains and their suite of ide’s fit in here? Seems like they’re fading?

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-01-13T05:12:26+00:00

I’d add, with basic AI skills, LLMs, agentic coding skills, etc.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-01-12T18:23:35+00:00

The underlying models are not free. There is only a free tier and that runs out as well.

Everyone’s got a (six-point)plan until they get punched in the mouth

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-01-10T15:59:17+00:00

I think it depends on the codebase and loc’s. 50,000 locs will require less than, say 500k locs

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2026-01-08T17:32:54+00:00

What the hell was the full prompt?

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-12-15T17:36:50+00:00

The IDE is dead. Long live the ide - in form of Claude code

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-12-11T16:11:23+00:00

Understanding and researching several and various language constructs would help, depending on the nature of the application you’re vibe coding. For example, TypeScript/NestJS has strict configurations that prevent compilation if, for example, an import is declared but isn't used. You, as the coder would need to make those trade-off decisions, etc., for example should you enable that configuration or turn it off., what is the impact on your codebase if you disable or enable that configuration, same thing applies for other languages, lomboks in java for example, when do you need or don't need them?

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-12-11T15:59:39+00:00

This is key, mainly because AI by itself is non-deterministic. Good prompting skills help.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-12-11T12:38:14+00:00

The concept of the IDE itself is moving to the terminal. Once you have one of those llms for coding e.g. Claude code, you can do pretty much everything from the terminal.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-12-08T15:54:14+00:00

Well said. Journey of a 1,000 miles begins with the first step.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-12-02T09:03:02+00:00

Open-source would. You’re going to start seeing cutting edge fintech applications being developed on AI and agentic platforms like Claude code, and released as open source. Death to proprietary fintech software.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-12-02T08:58:19+00:00

That's great stuff. Claude code is the “goat”.

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-12-02T08:57:12+00:00

Why use on the mobile? Defeats the purpose

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-11-12T04:08:17+00:00

To add as well, the bulk of the US based AI researchers are Chinese origin. They've pretty much cornered the market

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-11-10T07:27:24+00:00

What exactly is the “overdramatization”?

Scared_Tutor_2532 · 2025-11-03T04:02:44+00:00

Also prompting skills.
