yes, you're correct — in this case however, the platforms themselves do most of the work to define what a community is for them (some platforms, like bluesky, don't have the concept of communities _yet_) - I just collect them...
in general though, the goal of this tool is the one you're describing: aggregating communities that have the same topic/niche across different platforms
Yes, some of the data is already available on Zillow. The idea is to aggregate a few different data sources and then turn it into a more digestible and holistic property analysis if that makes sense.
Yes, crime data is from the FBI crime database, market data, and some of the property historical data and school data are from some other vendors.
I initially had only the comments and price predictions, then added the analysis around it. I need to add more discoverability for comments to pick up though.
Lol. I used to have a modal till yesterday that asked users to login with Google then removed it as I figured it was just extra friction; didn't realize it was this much of a red flag for websites... I'll readd it, thanks for the feedback.
Didn't know people would get this triggered by this UX pattern tbh. I had it before with a modal that prompted the user to login but figured this might just be easier / faster?
Yeah fair it's honestly more for fun that anything else so I actually put realistic data from all over the spectrum - the listings are updated every day do and some are wildly expensive
Uh, oh. Taking a look, sorry about that. What error are you getting? In the meantime, you can email me at giulio at searchbase.dev and I can add you manually.
Scalable pricing is one of the core issues we encountered with existing search solutions. While the details for pricing are still TBD, we do want to make sure to lower the barrier to entry to that earlier-stage startups have a simple and affordable way to integrate their first search solution.
Good point. While the visual query builder is meant to be more like a playground to play around while crafting your queries, at the end of the day it just provides you with an API request body (json) that can also be hand-crafted. The VQB is also a way to craft and save query “aliases” with their own permissions.
Analytics: our painpoint with a few other search solutions was a lack of out-of-the-box insights for user behavior and common searches. We’re addressing this with Searchbase
Searchbase also supports user-defined ranking; the user can provide keyword, geo-distance, and number “ranking modifiers” each with their own “weight”. (Similar to elasticsearch’s “RANK” filters).
