HairyChickens on I spent the past year creating Price Hipster, a product search engine and price watching website for the OzBargain community!Unfortunately the server cluster did some weird stuff while I was at work. I just got it all fixed this morning. Should be working now.

isthisreallife22 on I spent the past year creating Price Hipster, a product search engine and price watching website for the OzBargain community!That's all part of scraping/crawling. It doesn't make a difference in this case. In fact, I was tapping into the Woolworths' API directly...

Pricebeat on I spent the past year creating Price Hipster, a product search engine and price watching website for the OzBargain community!Dumped? There are still hundreds of stores on Price Hipster. Over time more are added and some are removed. It's the way things go.

ozy on I spent the past year creating Price Hipster, a product search engine and price watching website for the OzBargain community!Thanks for following up. Are you referring to an app? What benefit do you imagine an app would bring over the mobile website?
Unfortunately not
This is definitely an issue that needs resolving. I have been stretched pretty thin after moving to a new house/city late last year so I've...
That's correct. I didn't know about this. I'll look into integrating it. Thanks for mentioning it.
