You're doing the same thing manually. Every. Single. Day.
Copy-pasting data. Checking prices. Monitoring websites.
Sending the same reports. Watching for alerts that never come
at the right time.
That's not work. That's just noise.
I write Python scripts that eliminate the noise.
→ Web scrapers that pull exactly the data you need
→ Telegram bots that alert you the moment something changes
→ Automation pipelines that run while you sleep
→ APIs that connect your tools so they talk to each other
No bloated software. No subscriptions. Just clean Python code
that does one thing — solves your specific problem.
I've built a 11-module Web3 analytics bot running 24/7 on a
Linux server, a price comparison scraper across two e-commerce
platforms, and a URL shortener API with real-time GeoIP tracking.
If you have a repetitive problem, I probably have a Python
solution for it.
Message me. Let's kill the manual work.
The price comparison scraper across two platforms is the one I'd want details on — normalizing product matching across sites without a shared SKU is usually the hard part, not the scraping itself. How are you matching listings between the two?
Haha yeah that's the real challenge honestly.
For this one I went with normalized name matching —
lowercase, strip punctuation, remove common brand suffixes —
then fuzzy matched with token sort ratio for the edge cases
where names were too different.
No shared SKU so it's never...

My Thoughts on Claude
I have been using different AI tools in my workflow, and one that has impressed me is Claude.
What I like most is how natural its writing feels. It does a great job with long form content, brainstorming ideas, and improving clarity without making the text sound robotic.
That said, I don't think there's one AI tool that's "the best."
Each one has its strengths.
I use different AI tools for different tasks because the right tool depends on the job.
AI is not replacing creativity, it helps me work faster, think through ideas, and spend more time solving real problems for clients.
I am curious...
What's one AI tool you use the most right now?

Got tired of dealing with clunky, rate-limited 3rd-party scrapers, so I built my own.
Just testing out my custom Google Maps lead generation scraper, built on Next.js, Playwright, and Supabase. It pulls business listings, finds public contact emails, and automatically dedupes everything before saving.
A few things that make it completely frictionless:
Search and initiate scrapes directly from the UI—no need to even open Google Maps.
Added a Queue system so you can run multiple scrapes simultaneously.
Real-time progress tracking (you can see the live log running in Screenshot 2026-07-07 173222.png).
I am thinking about open-sourcing the whole thing. Should I drop the code on my GitHub?
Also, I need a better name for it. My working title is "Glead", but I am completely open to suggestions. Let me know what you think!
Nice build. If you open-source it, I would prioritize making the architecture and queue system easy to extend, that's usually what gets developers to adopt and contribute.
