This is Richmond in London 👍

I'll be sharing an update soon! Thanks for your support 🔥

Thanks Daniel, it's been an interesting time for me over the last couple of months. I'll be sharing an update soon :)

A few things, great question. First is we save them time, the UI of CH isn't built for specific use cases - ours is. Second we present the data in a nicer more digestible manner. Third custom filters, every customer so far has wanted niche specific results on company house data. I hope this answers your question :)

I don't use it - actually prefer Apple Notes 📝

Thanks Nick! 🙏

Thanks for the suggestion of posthog, I stumbled across their website a few weeks ago and was amazed by it's quality. I'll defo check it out before deciding what analytic tool to use.

Great question! So Companies House provide a live streaming service which you can subscribe too - which keeps you db up to date!

Great points all round and noted 📝 Thanks for your comment 🙏

Great suggestion! I’ll have a look into this and see if it’s worth implementing now. If not it will be done later down the road. Thank you for your comment 👍

Thank you and of course I will! It keeps me motivated to make interlu even better!

Thank you! Still so much more to come but it’s good progress 🙌

So much more to come! Thanks for your support! 🙏

Thanks Ed! I’ll be sure to mention it on my channel if I’m open to hiring for interlu!

A mixture of design and full stack dev work!

Great question, so any key data which is seen in the company profile page is double checked with the current records using the companies house API. I'm not sure if there's any official certification I could use. Thanks for your comment 🔥

Dude real great devs looks so cool! Nice work 🔥

@@JacobSargentTech Thanks! Same for interlu!

Thank you! 🙏

So right now I'm not caching any request res, as I don't have enough demand to warrant it. Of course when it becomes a problem I'll add it :) Thanks for your comment 🔥

Hey Chris, such a great question. I think I should make a whole video on it to be honest. To quickly answer you on here I would say it's a mixture of doing great work, being a good person, over a long period of time. Compound interested doesn't just work with money, it works with relationships too. 🔥

UK companies house api!

In production I'm using Amazon Textract, when I was developing it I was using the tesseract.js npm package!

@@JacobSargentTech thanks man

You're welcome 😉

Thanks for watching!

🤣 think I will once I start to get other people to work on it! Otherwise I think it would be a bad allocation of time. Thanks for your comment 👍

Completely agree here! Such great feedback - thank you 🙏

I use a simple heroku instance, but could/should be using an EC2 instance tbf !

Great question, to be honest start building things for yourself. You'll learn more and have way more fun then following a course end-to-end!

Have a search on Google for average salary for software engs in london, it will give a good mark for salary!

Haha! Thank you ☺️

Is this the same comment from my other video?

This is a great point/question and something I am very aware of. As I split my time between freelancing, building interlu, marketing both and this youtube channel I don't have too much time... so everything just does take longer. Having this validation is a step in the right direction and in other positive news I have had more requested features which I think will really improve interlu's value prop! I look forward to sharing more soon 🔥

@@JacobSargentTech Great to have your feedback, keep up, it's really inspiring !

Thank you!

How long have you been using vim for?

@@JacobSargentTech Just long enough to brag about it haha

Hey Shane, thanks for your comment! I'm glad to report that interlu now has a database with over 6 million UK companies!

@@JacobSargentTech Elite!

Thanks 🙏 I’m currently working with the MERN stack (with Next.js) for interlu. Thanks for your comment!

Thanks for your comment and great question - so they have a streaming service which you can provide a start date (which you put the date of the bulk download in) and they will stream all updates from that date and all updates in real time once it's caught up. So you end up with a full up to date DB of uk companies. Hope that makes sense :)

@@JacobSargentTech Oh nice, thanks for the quick reply. There are some interesting ones in the GOV.uk API catalogue actually. I have a partial collection of the full db focusing on some particular SICs. What happens if I link that up with the streaming service? Would it be possible to only update the matching records in my db? I have never worked with streaming before.

Yeah so you could just set it up to filter events only matching the companies you already have. Obviously there’s a bit more to it than that! Hope this helps!

Thanks for your kind words Rob! I'm just trying to share my journey and hope that people find it interesting. Happy to connect on Linkedin 👍

@@JacobSargentTech just sent a connection request

Accepted!

I use a debounced api call, but a web socket makes way more sense now. Maybe I’ll change it up! Thanks for the comment 🙌

@JacobSargentTech Thanks for the reply, it's nice interacting with someone that goes through the same struggles as I do, doing SaaS.

Yes it's nice to know you're not alone!!

Hahaha maybe my next idea!! 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for your comment! I’m still working on it, stay tuned as I believe it’ll get much faster soon!

@@JacobSargentTech 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

🔥

Keep going! You can do it 👌 thank for your comment 🫡

Oh no! Well in short I got a paying customer for a product feature which doesn't exist yet. Thanks for your comment 🫡

​@@JacobSargentTech Sorry, What I meant was you looks so handsome that I can only focus on your face, and I completely overlook what you are saying.😘

@@JacobSargentTech Why aren't you responding to my comments? If I offended you, I apologize, my baby😭

You're good! Thanks for the kind words 🫡

Great question, at my old job I was using companies house everyday and felt there must be a better way of doing this... and there wasn't (IMO)! So I thought why not build it. And here we are 🎯

@@JacobSargentTech Thank you 😊

You're welcome!

Thank you!! I just use quicktime it comes with the Mac. I then film my face using my 90D and then sync it all up in premier pro 🫡

You can do it - you are closer then you think. Try to get closer to your customer if you can :)

Thanks Matt! I use MERN at the moment, only because I'm familiar with it. What tech stack are you currently using?

@@JacobSargentTech I'm using a fairly vanilla LAMP stack but using Laravel for the codebase. I do want to start getting into using some new front end framework, I've been playing it very safe with standard jQuery for the last 20 or so years I've been developing.

Hey Eliel, great questions I would say a couple of weeks to get up to speed. Although you must also consider all of the extra domain knowledge needed to submit to the app/play store!

@@JacobSargentTech Awesome. Will take it into account.

You're welcome :)

Good point and notes for a potential further feature - Charities do exist on companies house but interlu doesn’t sync with them yet!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Enyo!
