Interesting thing you got going there. Like the pricehipster for statisticians. Old version never had theming. Was basically all light…

On the surface, to me, it seems like it wouldn't be a good idea.

I'll have a play again when I revisit the scraper in the not-too-distant future. Price Hipster never before had a dark mode. I think the…

I'm thinking not. Previously the product database was also the search database, but now they are separate. Currently, out of the many…

I can't imagine this being useful, but I might be misunderstanding your meaning.

CW changed their website recently

Yeah I've found LLMs to be great for many things. I couldn't have done this rewrite before the end of this year without them. For a…

I only just pushed the update 2 days ago. It's not even finished yet. Still working on it. I don't know if Colesworth will be back.

Haven't sold it. Just finally got around to updating it. 😅

Hey thanks for the confirmation! I'm currently working on the rewrite of Price Hipster and I found the problem. I decided to just fix it…

Hey good idea. Maybe you can do it.

Yeah someone else told me that recently. I've got a few weeks off work soon where I'll be able to update a bunch of stuff, and likely fix…

Because minimum can be like $5 on a $300 product due to a glitch on their end, or a genuine once-off sale. That leads to ridiculous results.

This doesn't really work because the price change times are just based on when the crawler visits that store/feed.

Mike444 on Just Launched: Official Browser Extension for Price Hipster with Support for Amazon.com.au

The extension is not on my radar at the moment.

fredblogs on I spent the past year creating Price Hipster, a product search engine and price watching website for the OzBargain community!

Yes, that would be pretty straightforward to do. I'd be happy to integrate that.

You raise an important question - one I have thought many times. But it sounds like the sunk cost fallacy. In fact, if I didn't wind down…

Thanks for the support!

I could work around it myself, and likely with much less work than implementing and maintaining a collaboration. It's just not something I…

Thanks mate, appreciate it. I don't need money though.

Open sourcing would be an enormous amount of work, and then even more work ongoing if I remained a maintainer. The money is not a problem.

Yeah Coles is off the list now. They're blocking bots and it's not worth my time to deal with it unfortunately. I've been hoping to find…

That's a popular request. I'm wondering if I should just remove the Bunnings Marketplace listings entirely.

Yup, still trying to figure out why it intermittently does this. I can't reproduce it though. :S

Thanks mate. There was an issue just after I left for a Christmas do.
