CASE IN POINT: I am not a coder, I do not know any code but I used Claude to build a website that makes it easy to track GC used listings from scratch

Was that the year that Wang Chung headlined?

Yes! They didn't have enough headline material, so they Wang'd Chung Tonight 4 times.

*Wang Chung means yellow bell in English.

You said “wang.”

I heard they tried to get Joe Cocker.

I really got it working good now!

if anyone else wants to mess around with this, I think I've got it in a decent spot. Send me a PM and I'll give you a link to my GitHub where you can download it and run it from your own machine.

please also give me your mother's maiden name and the name of your first pet

I’m not sure what’s more impressive—that a person who can’t code built a useful application with AI or that a person who doesn’t code is willing to put up with GitHub.

now includes Craigslist National Search in a second tab - search all U.S. Craigslist Musical Instruments pages for whatever you're looking for!

Back to the GC tracker - we got floating thumbnails (hover the item to see a photo), My Watched Items (you can star items to watch), actual item listing dates so you know exactly how long something's been there, a Brand column (Fender, etc.) new filters - and a MUCH faster load time because we switched methodology from scraping to calling the Guitar Center API directly.

Make sure you are searching misspellings too because, GC employees are too dumb or, too lazy or, spelling wrong on purpose so it doesn't get bought before they can come up with the cash themselves.

I do like a nice Startocaster.

Well done @smurfco. I'm tempted to ask you for that code, but that would lead down the path of even more temptations.

mobile web optimized version coming soon! (auto detects if you are on destkop vs. mobile web)

 

[jp_nyc]

At this rate you’ll be able to get a seven figure job at Meta in six months.

I do think I'm at the point where I could use a couple testers on this thing actually - if you're interested PM me and I'll send you the site link and password... all I ask is you let me know what breaks, and make feature suggestions.

note that i am pretty sure i can't do any sort of push / e-mail alert like that, so "alert me when gear that matches X is lsited" probably won't be doable at least right now. I assume that'd be a suggested feature.

also, the mobile web version isn't ready yet so for now it's desktop only. well i mean you can load it on your phone but it'll look like shit...
