I'm working on waltrack.net, a price tracker for Walmart.com (US only).

The goal was to create a camelcamelcamel for Walmart, but affiliate is too uncertain, so I'm building a b2b offering for 3rd party sellers now.

Aren't you afraid of them trying to come after you? I'm from the EU and had a similar idea for a local retailer. However, legally it's such a grey zone that I decided not to continue.

it doesn't break it

I think this might be once of the most concise explanations of web3 I've come across. Thanks for sharing!

around $50 a month, app is made with nextjs, hosted on Google App engine with a postgres db.

My price tracker for AliWatcher: https://aliwatcher.com/ Full of bugs, prices are not updated nearly enough, but decided to put it live anyway while I start working on it

I think it's a user-submitted 360 photo

Maybe the oauth scope requested edit access to the FB business manager? That way the scammer can remove OP from the business and add himself via the API

What does Angolia have to do with HN?

Edit: found it, it's Algolia. Thought s/he was talking about Angola.

I have never managed to query by its name ever. I default to googling for hn search when I look for it.

What did he do that made you describe him as a garbage human?

that sweet advertising money.

Would there really be enough revenue to warrant doing this, considering 1) scraping and hosting that content requires some effort, 2) the content would (should?) be penalized for plagiarism so they would have very little traffic and 3) developers are probably the worst audience to try and monetize with ads due to the prevalence of ad blockers.

Most people who code are not developers.

Mine and my partners parents learned c (badly) at some point. Nearly everyone on the b2b customer support team at my last job could sling some js. A surprising number of marketers learn to wrangle some carousels/buttons/etc. vba script excel monster stories are prevalent.

These people are great to monetize. They are paid well and doing something they don't understand well.

I see them in search results often enough (sometimes even before the SO post they've scraped) that it seems to be working, and the search engines (both DDG and Google for me) haven't caught on.

> and the search engines haven't caught on.

Sure they have. They just don't care as long as they made their quick buck off of it.

Very little traffic, yet enough to be annoying?

The data is provided as a downloadable dump, so it's really just a basic read only CMS.
