I built a site to track your buy it for life items

Hacker News

Hey HN, I've been on a mission to buy higher quality, sustainable products, especially when replacing things I use frequently. To better understand the value of these items, I built a site to track how often I use them. Here is my list so far: https://www.costperuse.com/@nahtnam Feel free to sign up and share the items that have served you well! https://www.costperuse.com/ You can also generate a sharable link for X (Twitter), complete with an open-graph image of your stats. Example: https://x.com/nahtnam/status/1797875287793004947 If there's interest, I have plenty of ideas to improve the site. With enough data, I aim to create lists of the best BIFL (Buy It For Life) items in various categories. Check it out and let me know what you think!
