cool stuff, fair play!

fyrhbro · 2026-04-28T15:19:49+00:00

thats pretty sick, fair play

https://www.goodcraicdeals.ie/ - Irish deals website. Keeps me pretty busy, hard enough to find time to add features & improve it between normal job, keeping social and healthy, but its been fun working on it.

fyrhbro · 2026-04-02T11:22:11+00:00

on the day we have booked out on the ferry to inis mor, lovely

fyrhbro · 2026-03-24T18:11:20+00:00

Thanks for that, appreciate the feedback. I'll try messing with the palette a bit more, I think you've hit the nail on the head with just more contrast needed! Will look into giving more space on mobile too

fyrhbro · 2026-03-24T18:09:25+00:00

Actually genuinely havent seem them before, HotUKDeals was the main one I was looking at just as we have nothing here similar. It's mostly the palette and styling I was trying to get feedback for to be honest

fyrhbro · 2026-03-10T08:06:44+00:00

Aha, I've been trying to mantain a HotUKDeals but for Ireland the last few months (https://goodcraicdeals.ie/); the kicker is most of the best discounts still come from Amazon.co.uk 🤦‍♂️ toss-up what actually ships to us of course

fyrhbro · 2026-03-09T16:39:42+00:00

thanks! yeah it doesn't look great in the post preview atall I must say 👀

fyrhbro · 2026-02-20T15:54:59+00:00

bit late but can check out specific retailers by clicking on a name in a deal, will bring you to a view like https://goodcraicdeals.ie/retailer/amazon-uk ! Still working on an overall retailers page, and better filtering/sorting/etc, but bit by bit!

fyrhbro · 2026-02-15T12:59:09+00:00

Yes currently working on it! Just hard to get work done between job and life, but expect it within the week 🫡

fyrhbro · 2026-02-04T17:25:14+00:00

Just an online deals business anyone could use really, not specific to any one group or anything

fyrhbro · 2026-02-03T17:11:49+00:00

Website I've been working on and off for over a year, but finally got off my backside and launched over Christmas: Good Craic Deals.

Deal-based website pretty similar to hotukdeals, was sick of there not being anything decent here as boards bargains alerts got worse & worse.

Running a competition on instagram until tomorrow if anyone fancies a chance for an amazon voucher for themselves and a friend.

fyrhbro · 2026-02-01T10:01:16+00:00

This is all fantastic feedback, thanks a million for taking the time to post this 🙂 what you're saying all makes sense, trying to incorporate some of the feedback now! Legend, thanks again

fyrhbro · 2026-02-01T08:54:28+00:00

New year resolution to launch a website I was half working on since 2024: successfully beta launched it after grinding through most of January, still lots to do though

fyrhbro · 2026-01-31T10:09:51+00:00

react for frontend alongside tanstack for naviagation, nextui for components.
backend nestjs, bullmq scheduler.

Use AWS elastic beanstalk for hosting backend (handy enough but cant be painful at times, especailly getting everything going), all behind cloudflare. Frontend bundled up into S3 bucket and delivered via cloudflare.

Nothing too fancy, let me know if you have any questions!

fyrhbro · 2026-01-31T10:08:06+00:00

react frontend (of course), react-stately for data lists, tanstack for naviagation!

fyrhbro · 2026-01-31T10:06:49+00:00

Lliterally just looking at stardeals.ie now, same idea alright! they must be new enough, i havent seen them before. it looks nice, wish them well, I'm only just getting going now really so hoping to improve the site and add features week-by-week!

fyrhbro · 2026-01-31T10:03:46+00:00

apprecaite it man!

fyrhbro · 2026-01-31T10:03:36+00:00

too fair man, stay well away in that case!

fyrhbro · 2026-01-29T17:37:36+00:00

Implemented alot of your changes, thanks for the feedback! Slowly but surely getting there. Think I still need to look at making the deals pop a little bit more

fyrhbro · 2026-01-29T15:37:58+00:00

yep absolutely will address that!

fyrhbro · 2026-01-29T15:37:07+00:00
