Hey HN,<p>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: <a href="https://www.costperuse.com/@nahtnam" rel="nofollow">https://www.costperuse.com/@nahtnam</a><p>Feel free to sign up and share the items that have served you well! <a href="https://www.costperuse.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.costperuse.com/</a><p>You can also generate a sharable link for X (Twitter), complete with an open-graph image of your stats. Example: <a href="https://x.com/nahtnam/status/1797875287793004947" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/nahtnam/status/1797875287793004947</a><p>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.<p>Check it out and let me know what you think!
Consider defining or showing a few examples on the landing page describing exactly what a "buy-it-for-life" item is.<p>I'm not sure if you mean items I'll be buying until death (like soap, toothpaste, and socks), or things I buy once and expect them to last for a lifetime.<p>I see the "ZSA - Moonlander" example, but I'm unsure how to interpret what I'm seeing: "Hours" means how long I've had this particular item? And for what I paid for it, "Cost per hour" is just that.<p>Congratulations on the launch!
