$50 is a bargain. No argument there. And I'm not suggesting that you cool outside air, not at all. Portable units have TWO air systems.…

Yeah, with a bit of hackery (cardboard and duct tape in a pinch) you can convert these into more efficient systems by pulling outdoor air…

I'll do my best:. First of all, we bought a BYD Atto 2: our first non-Toyota ever. It's a runabout for my wife, typical distances travelled…

I might ruffle some feathers, but here goes. Warning, opinions ahead: Can they afford a second hand EV comfortably? If they can't, that's…

Yeah, I wouldn't spend $600 on it, but that's because I know I can do the same thing for the price of a domain name and maybe an hour of my…

Used to love that time of year walking home from primary school, I snagged all sorts of weird and wonderful gadgets. Only problem is the…

I'm not going to pile on. Good on you for trying something new: it's a good concept. I suspect you've run into the "Cheapies Effect", where…

Hey team, here's the latest update for those lurkers who haven't contacted me yet for an invite (or didn't click the invite link I sent…

Nice one! Seems to work quite well. I like the graph comparison at the end. I won't be that guy that says "can you please add solar…

Awesome! Thanks @NovaAlpha - please DM me your email address and I'll send you an invitation. No spam, I promise!

Damn, any cheap return flights Auckland to Wanaka tomorrow? I wonder how many pizzas they'll let me through the gate with 😅
11/06/2026 - 18:52
Hey again team, thanks for those who have tested so far - I've got some great feedback already and a few bug reports! I'm gearing up to…

Great question. For the tech heads out there it's currently ReactJS/Typescript front end and back, running on CloudFlare infra using…

Hey team and watchers, Thanks for your patience and thanks to those who have volunteered to help! The first few invitations went out last…

Hey, thank you so much for the response. Yeah, I think that you've hit the nail on the head, people don't know why it would provide value.…

Hey fellow Cheapies! Surely there's nothing more cheap than penny-pinching, Scrooging and miserly watching where every dollar was spent?…

Genuinely interested: does the Botox mean you can't chew a steak as well?

I should clarify that these tools will create "web apps" or apps that run through your browser, although they can be packaged into…

There are plenty of AI-assisted app creation tools now available, I'd say just pick one and start writing. Two that I've used are Bolt.new…

Yeah, this is marketing 101. Of course Shopback and other similar companies are collecting your data, as much as they possibly can within…
