    +1 I use chartjs for the web version of fatgpt.ai. It easy to setup and you can get charts going very quickly. If I needed more dense data viz (ex a datadog-like system) I'd probab…

    It's interesting, seems like a popular space lately (even within YC). Off the top of my head, there's merge.dev, Terra, Kombo, Workato. Aside from the obvious question of "how are …

    Jokes aside, GPT-4 Vision is surprisingly good at noticing facts from food images. For example: - In my chipotle bowl, it can tell if I had brown rice vs white rice - In my In-n-ou…

    I built this a couple years ago (now defunct) for the same reason :) The public JSON endpoints on shopify stores make it pretty easy to get the data. You mentioned using Mongo but …
