• Reddit's Favorite Products in One Place

  Oh wow I did something very similar, just dumber. https://shopbysub.com I have a raspberry pi gathering Reddit comments with an Amazon link in them every hour, then exposing them on Shop By Sub categorized by subreddit, sorted by upvotes. Same with OP I put my Amazon referral link in there. It's been decently well-received by Reddit, but I have a hard time getting recurring users. It seems like they just forget... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Why do you like Reddit so much?

  In fact, I liked Reddit so much as a recommendation engine, that I built https://shopbysub.com so folks can browse Amazon product recommendations by subreddit with context and sorting and stuff. e.g. I've been gardening lately and came across a moisture meter on https://shopbysub.com/r/gardening that I wouldn't have otherwise. It's been instrumental to help my overwatering problem. Source: about 2 years ago

• What is a sure sign that someone is new to your hobby?

  I created a site (https://shopbysub.com) that kind of does this. You can browse amazon products that have been linked by redditors in comments by subreddit - e.g. https://www.shopbysub.com/flashlight. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Amazon is so overrun by cheap low quality Chinese products that it's become impossible to shop there.

  I did a thing to somewhat help mitigate this problem. I made https://shopbysub.com which groups Amazon products left in reddit comments by subreddit, and makes them sortable by amount of upvotes. So you can go to e.g. https://shopbysub.com/r/BuyItForLife and see all the amazon products more or less recommended by redditors. Source: about 3 years ago

  I'm going to suggest- you ever heard of Home Assistant? It's a really useful home automation tool you could integrate with weather and clock on a dashboard. As well, you could use it to control smart devices. Source: about 1 year ago
