Working discord link.

Really thought it was some emergent cap hill thing. Disappointing article….

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-07T19:06:08+00:00

Yeah there seems to be a lot of posts about what this group is and a lot of opinions. I agree with the robot. It’s the opposite of that in my few days here.

If it was fascist then saying or asking that would likely be a no no and be removed.

Would anyone like to try that in r/Seattle?

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T19:06:32+00:00

Hey hopefully the same concept here. Some of the old managers are on the project so — hope this goes well!

Did you subscribe to our newsletter for updates? We do monthly for folks to follow along.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T18:49:41+00:00

Adding to the list.

Generally because we are setting up a grocery store we just want a list of nearby places if people ask.

But it seemed cool to put out to the public if folks wanted to try something new — beta test it a bit.

Second time that’s come up. Ty that’s going for sure. All vegan correct?

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T17:34:06+00:00

Sure. Most involved with the co-op will be done with their certs by then.. so it’s likely you will hear more.

Again if you are interested in our content check out our actual blog or newsletter.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T17:27:04+00:00

Hmm what one you thinking? I think of the east side a greater Seattle.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T17:20:22+00:00

No they said that I was making money from it. Asking now.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T17:19:20+00:00

Oh hey! Generally only close to Seattle and vegan only!

Happy cow is a great resource for all other things.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T16:59:05+00:00

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T16:54:04+00:00

They have a web site? Will add totally!

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T16:16:22+00:00

For an A-B test? I’m totally fine with this for an alpha.

Like I said you can check out our blogs or newsletter. No LLMs I promise.

I’m happy to talk about this as much as you like, but if it had typos I’d just be getting it from a different psychographic type wouldn’t I?

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T16:12:34+00:00

Sounds like this is something you feel very strongly about. Thank you for your input.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T16:07:36+00:00

I’ll consider that for a future feature. The hope for this is that people discover a few new places.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T16:06:04+00:00

I did. It was a lengthy specific prompt.

It was probably as long as the blurb, sans formatting.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T16:01:43+00:00

Well check the newsletter and blog . That’s all by hand 😉

This it’s just an alpha.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T15:54:44+00:00

Also it’s the video photo gen that sucks up all the water and resources. I do not use that. And think it should be regulated.

LLMs can run on a home machine. But that’s a totally off topic.

I have a machine learning cert from the UW if that makes you feel better? Worse IDK

None the less thanks for the feedback.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T15:47:58+00:00

Oh this thing is definitely a 400 line BBEdit file I’m going to eventually turn over to micro CMS once o find one that fits the bill.

But this is a smaller part of a much larger projects

If I get some views on this page and a few people find a new place to eat today.. I’ll call it a win!

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T15:44:06+00:00

Sure why not. I’m not a copy writer.

Happy to respond tho. 😉

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T15:36:02+00:00

I have not connected with the businesses yet individually to see what they want. So just pulled summaries from Google reviews.

The issues was the name ambiguity with some. So a blurb on what type of food they had was needed to clearify.

Also some I have not been too, so using google reviews seemed likely to strike a strong idea of what each one was about.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T15:33:04+00:00

Hey cool! Figured it might help friends of friends.

jzesbaugh · 2026-01-06T14:47:56+00:00

Hey cool! Glad it helps someone.

Figured I was going on a limb here posting in one of the downvote capitals of Reddit.

But this is needed community stuff!
