Products that do what Smugg.com (Rottentomatoes.com for Tech Gadgets) does
Smugg.com. Critic review aggregator for consumer electronics. I admit the progress of this project has been very slow, mostly due to me learning how to code properly this time while also developing this site. However in this time, gdgt.com shifted their focus to same area of critic reviews aggregation. They have done an excellent job with the team and money they have and I now wonder if it leaves any space for me to keep going. So please do let me know what you think.

Hello HN! I've been working on http://underthesite.com for the last month and now think it is ready for some full strength HN feedback. What do you guys think? It crawls up to 10 pages of a given site while you wait, looking for community-provided CSS / XPath selectors and regular expressions. Additionally, I'd like to appeal to you to submit matchers for technologies that you care about. Technologies are easy to add, so add your favorite jQuery plugins, analytics tools, client-side node.js wrappers, what have you. I'm going to be running a large crawl in the next few days and want to make…

Hey guys, Would really appreciate some feedback on a site we are working on that deals with programming/tech questions with no definitive answer. The concept is that while there may be no definitive answer to "Best X for Y", knowing the pros/cons of the different options and their use-cases is useful when making a decision. We also took a different approach to Q&A and went very collaborative, so one person doesn't have to write everything and we can improve/update it over time. Thanks! www.slant.co

www.schmeebs.com I built this site in two days. I tried to make it a fusion of Twitter + Digg in that people will be able to follow certain "domains" of news then be able to see popular stuff from there. Its as real time as it can be at this point. Would welcome any thoughts on it!

I wanted to share a side project I've been working on: http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist A tool that gathers genuine feedback on any product by analyzing discussions from Reddit and YouTube.

Hello all, I built about 2 years ago a coding website for kids, teens and adults: https://codeguppy.com Despite my efforts to promote the website it is still not well know. I post almost daily about it on Twitter at https://twitter.com/codeguppy ... but even there I don't have views. The website is fun... although I still have a ton of things to add. I appreciate if you take a look and suggest improvements and most importantly help me with spreading the news about this website. I really need a boost! Thanks all!

Hey there HN ! I'm so excited to show you the platform I built! It's a product review website that's all about community and video reviews. I wanted to create a space where people could share their personal experiences and opinions on products, so others could make informed decisions based on real-life experiences. I noticed that there were a lot of fake reviews on other platforms, and I knew that people wanted a more reliable and trustworthy source for product reviews. That's why I decided to create a website that would prioritize genuine, honest curated reviews from real people. Our…

I've made a GPU comparison site: https://gpu-prices.com/US/ Yes, there was one yesterday - I got beaten to it. This one is different in that I've put a lot of work into categorisation, so you can filter down quite precisely. For example, VRAM-per-dollar, limiting to Nvidia, and a minimum performance score allow you to find good ML GPUs. It currently supports Australia, Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the US. The tech stack is Python for data pull and static site generation then Cloudflare Pages for actually serving the site. It updates three times a day, but I could increase…

https://www.grokbb.com I have spent the last year building GrokBB, a Reddit alternative, and I was wondering what you guys think? The site is not a news aggregator, like Reddit, but built more along the lines of traditional bulletin boards. Its focus will be on supporting and promoting niche communities, by giving them proper tools to manage their users and organize / produce high quality, original content. There is no voting system, and popularity is determined by what users actually do on the site. As well, there is a way for the moderators in a community to promote valuable…

https://ilovethatshirt.com I want to hear some feedback on why we might not be getting the conversions expected. We launched using a WordPress setup just to limit our risk on development (e.g. produce an MVP), so I would hope that is not the feedback (but if it is, so be it). Please be brutal as normal :) If we suck, we need to hear it. Thanks!

Hey all, remember back when the internet was fun? Before the days of information overload and AI slop. Back when sites were recommended by close friends instead of an algorithm. I miss that. And I’m trying to bring some of that magic back. So I've built Stumble Again. It's inspired by the OG StumbleUpon, and it’s a place where you can rediscover the internet with a curated selection of hand-picked websites, apps, and hidden gems from the depths of the internet. Check it out and let me know what you think? P.s. Would love to hear your recs for sites to be added. Drop a comment with your top…

Had this idea recently and just had to get it out of my head and into a (super quick and dirty) prototype. It's like Letterboxd but for anything, and with a simpler rating system you don't have to sweat about.

We found that evaluating products based on ratings alone often is not helpful, and some products have too many reviews to efficiently read. Also, for many products, we discovered that finding where the well-written and thoughtful reviews fell was more important than the content. So, for Startup Weekend Kansas City last weekend, we created an app (Horsebot3k) which parses Amazon to identify the better written reviews, and what topics people like and dislike. We got the app fully working over the weekend, and won first place! Check it out at http://horsebot3k.com We also have a 90 second…

"I love the creativity already." It'll say the same thing for any terrible idea. Try street carts serving dog shit picked off the street, babysitting service using sex offender felons since they'll work for cheap so they can be around underage kids, airplane where customers flap the wings using pulleys to get a workout so it's like a gym and travel in one, saving time - any terrible idea you can think of. ChatGPT will give you instant praise.

I'm a big fan of mobile patterns sites like pttrns.com and mobile-patterns.com but neither cover mobile gaming. With oDesk's help and some patience with Tumblr theming, I created mobilegamepatterns.com. What do you think?

hey Everyone, I built FeedRebel [ http://www.feedrebel.com ] partly because I needed a feed reader myself but mainly because it ties in nicely with an idea that I've been working on. For those of you that are still on the fence when it comes to choosing a Google Reader alternative, I would love it if you could give FeedRebel a try and let me know your thoughts. I realize that there are quite a few options out there already with some big launches yet to come. I look forward to your comments and thoughts. Thank you

I built a website for games that catch my eye or have something interesting going on. I made it for fun but then updating became a habit. Maybe you'll find your next "must-play" game here? GitHub repo: https://github.com/RaycatWhoDat/games-list
