PriceProven

What it does

Is that 50% off deal a bargain or a scam? Retailers constantly inflate prices right before a sale. PriceProven exposes deceptive pricing by tracking daily historical data for every product. ⚡ Instantly verify if a discount is genuine. 🏷️ Total transparency: items without enough history are clearly labeled. Stop falling for fake sales. Empower yourself with real data and buy with 100% confidence!

Check an AliExpress discount against the prices we recorded over time, so you can see whether it holds up. Listings without enough history are labelled as such.

We know because we write it down: 127 products are listed by two shops using the identical photograph, both with real sales, one charging at least double the other — a gap no badge on either page mentions. And the price does not sit still: 96,736 of the 124,667 listings we track changed price while we were watching. AliExpress shows you one number. We keep a dated record of the prices we observe. 2,684 products with real sales behind them are priced at or within 2% of the lowest figure we have recorded ourselves — and their price has actually moved, so this is not a listing that has simply never changed. The eight below are the ones sitting furthest under their own usual price. Kinds of…from priceproven.com

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
