When I was looking for cars recently, I was frustrated by the inventory search on the websites. Subaru made it difficult to search a wide area for it's vehicles for example. I wrote a full stack application where I reverse-engineered the public APIs and did the inventory search for myself. I also made a web app to go with it to display the vehicles in a card format that gave me the important info I needed in an eye-pleasing format. I stopped development once I found my car.

I didn't spend a ton of time making it. It was honestly a lot of fun and I got to work out my development skills again. I really doing this kind of work too be honest.

I did use ChatGPT a bit to help rationalize some things as I was doing development.
