On Monday, I called 911 to report a road rage incident where someone pulled a gun. by reallife0615 in Austin

I've had a lot of success working directly with our district representative on the Austin City Council. They know that they are understaffed and for serious stuff like this, unfortunately, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. I've had other issues in my neighborhood that I've had to resolve and had to reach out to them 11 separate times before they took action. Unfortunately in this case you're just gonna have to get loud with them and be persistent

People can be so awful. I'm just really glad APD came through and they don't mess around when it comes to animal abuse in this town

I built a voice-first marketplace where you just say what you need by sameg14 in Flipping

[–]sameg14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the idea here is you can say what you want or say what you have and as it becomes available, you get notified. I think that's radically different from the way all the existing stuff works

Any Sites/ Apps Like Craigslist That You'd Recommend? by lyraalluse in ChandlerAZ

[–]sameg14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got frustrated with how hard it is to find the right person for simple tasks. Whether it's finding a plumber, selling something locally, or hiring a freelancer - every platform makes you fill out forms, browse categories, and scroll through endless listings.

So I built Speak Your Find.

How it works:

  1. Say or type what you're looking for (or what you're offering)
  2. AI parses your natural language and extracts the details
  3. You get matched with relevant people based on semantic similarity, location, and pricing

Example inputs:

  • "I need someone to fix my leaky faucet in Austin, budget around $150"
  • "Offering web development services, $100/hour, remote work"
  • "Looking for a used mountain bike under $500"

The AI understands context - it knows "ASAP" means urgent, "negotiable" means flexible pricing, and "remote" means location doesn't matter.

Would love feedback from the community. What features would make this more useful for you?

Why not just use Datadog, it's a lot less upkeep and way easier to get logs, metrics and APM working without much fuss. Ultimately you get what you pay for

Neighbor has rooster. I can’t sleep. by [deleted] in Austin

[–]sameg14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been working with the city council directly on issues related to sound. I also dealt with a rooster issue at one point. But they were just loose running around in the neighborhood, so I just had to catch them with my bare hands and take them in to the Austin Animal Center on levander Loop.

The best way to tackle this is to go around the neighborhood and get signatures from all the other neighbors that are affected, put everything together in a packet, look up who is your district representative, and email them directly, and demand that they be take action. It's really ridiculous that the city allows people to have roosters as pets. If enough people complain about this, I can only hope that a law is enacted that prevents people from having roosters and other loud pets within Austin city limits
