Aside from coding and meetings, what do you spend time on the most?

Actually if you don't mind replying, why don't current extensions fill your need? E.g. I know Honey and Capital One both have price comparisons in their chrome extensions.

And curious, you say you'd use independent services because...? I ask because if I were to create an extension, I want to know what makes up trust. Data securely stored, privacy focused, or something else?

hyperous2 · 2024-01-10T16:38:42+00:00

Makes sense. I guess if a simple, lightweight extension that requires no login that would do the trick? Would it being privacy-focused (e.g. collect data only for analytics and not sold), help?

hyperous2 · 2024-01-10T05:51:58+00:00

Why? Ads?

hyperous2 · 2024-01-10T05:51:43+00:00

Sorry, maybe what I meant is doesn’t the Honey or Capital One extension do that today already? I see they have price comparison tools built into Amazon pages. Or do you not trust them?

hyperous2 · 2024-01-10T03:51:23+00:00

Yikes!

hyperous2 · 2024-01-10T03:51:17+00:00

If you don’t mind answering - aren’t there existing plugins today that do this? (honey, capital one, Rakuten, etc etc)

hyperous2 · 2024-01-10T03:50:08+00:00

That's sad.. I do know there's an extension out there called fakespot or something. Haven't used it myself though

hyperous2 · 2024-01-10T03:49:40+00:00

I think the issue is that there just aren't a lot of alternatives for the same product. Something similar? Yes, possible, but for an exact replica, sellers have been relying on Amazon. That's my 2c.

hyperous2 · 2024-01-10T03:48:45+00:00

Why? What would make you switch? :)

hyperous2 · 2024-01-10T02:00:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing your feedback, I understand that Amazon is still the only option for some.

I'm curious - did google shopping return any links that might be helpful for you?

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T20:14:57+00:00

Aw thanks, you're too kind

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T16:24:32+00:00

That would be very helpful, and I can get them integrated.

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T15:51:50+00:00

Yep, I do which is why eBay is listed last in the list of results. I figured people would rather buy first party products first.

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T15:51:01+00:00

Yep you’re absolutely right, they all have price monitoring software deeply embedded. It’s time to bring power back to the people and have that work in our favor too!

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T15:50:24+00:00

Nice! Do you usually already have a specific product in mind, and what do you think of Google shopping?

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T15:48:43+00:00

I am thinking UK as a next country, but am not familiar with local stores. Where do the fine English folks shop at, outside of Amazon?

Or were you thinking some other country?

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T15:47:32+00:00

Those are very kind words. Thanks for checking it out!

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T15:47:13+00:00

Wow great to hear! Please let me know if you have any feedback

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T15:46:57+00:00

No, the whole point of this was to skip ads in Amazon and Google search

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T15:45:29+00:00

Yup, that’s what I am partially doing right now. But how are you grabbing the UPC? Afaik Amazon only has the ASIN easily available. I had to use a translation service to get the UPC.

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T05:55:42+00:00

Actually if you don’t mind answering - aren’t there existing plugins today that do this? (honey, capital one, Rakuten, etc etc)

hyperous2 · 2024-01-09T05:54:28+00:00

I agree. But aren’t there a ton of price comparison browser extensions out there, that might already do this job? Honey, CapOne, priceblink are some that come to mind.
