Hi All!
Happy join the tech crew. I’m a Frontend engineer and have been building web apps professionally. My core skills are Javascript, HTML and CSS. More recently building single page web apps using React, Angular and other JS frameworks.
I’m also very passionate about cars and have been using the wealth of information from leasehackr community when I buy/lease cars. Huge kudos to the founders for managing such a wonderful community and all the supporters!
From the usability perspective, leasehackr is easily one of the best looking, easy to use and uncluttered forums out there. And I love the calculator! Thank you for building such a helpful tool that helps people save money.
I’m very excited to be part of this community and contribute. While I’m employed on weekdays, I’m happy to hack on weekends. I’m not used to the community software (discourse) much, but I can build anything that runs on a web browser. Please feel free to assign me any feature requests, bug fixes et al. Happy to help!
Thanks again for having me!

Hi all. I know a lot about leasing - the math, doing it long hand, what ALL the numbers means and mostly why people get so confused about leasing. I have been explaining leasing to clients for years so that it makes sense and there’s no more confusion. I’m happy to share my knowledge with others and answer all those nagging questions. Hope to be of some help. Cheers, - Longtimecarsalesperson.

Is this thread to sign up to be able to contribute to underlying tech?? If yes sign me up please. Full-stack developer (React, GoLang atm)
First issue i would like to tackle is Rate finder removing selected rebates when switching trims 
Second, can we store the rate finder selected options in query params similar to rest of options. A flag checking access can ignore or access/set them?

What happened to this project?
I would love to work on something calling/replicating the inventory search of manufacturers but removing the fluff i.e added incentives, lack of courtesy vehicle filters etc.
Would like to add to this as a suggestion..can we tweak it so when you change the months it also changes the corresponding residual value? As of now, only changing the miles changes the residual automatically. Btw im talking further down in the calc under “lease program”. This way we dont have to go back up and change the months manually. Just an idea to save some time and avoid potentially messing up numbers
Changing trims sometimes change the rebates though.
What options are you referring to?
Are you talking about the general calculator? We would need Rate Findr to get the residual value associated with the month change. This feature is available via the Rate Findr Calculator.
Changing trims sometimes change the rebates though.
Do the rebates have a unique identifier that is similar between trims? or same name? if yes, they can be selected when changing trims?
What options are you referring to?
Given a calculator link, if i click on Access rate finder, it opens new tab with all fields empty across the calculator. Instead can we expand the rate tab , fill the make, model, trim , months, mileage ?
Here is a sort function script that I quickly put together for the Pre-Negotiated Deals page. I think with all the PNDs available now this would be helpful to have in general.
Requires Tampermonkey or similar: https://www.tampermonkey.net/index.php

(I’ll try to get a better link for this when I get some time today. This is just the raw file right now since I can’t upload a js or zip here.)
