Building a product search engine (https://percht.com https://percht.com)
Percht has a few goals:
1) give you the lowest price for any product online
2) develop an assistant that’ll buy you whatever at x price automatically
3) build an unbiased gameified community around shopping
What do you think are the biggest issues with the approach many other shopping search engines have taken that have prevented them from beating entrenched monopolies like amzn and goog which dont have complete results or 100% consumer alignment.
- mwseibel 11y agoPersonally, I prefer to go to Amazon over shopping comparison sites for a couple reasons: I already have an amazon account so I don't have to create an account and put type in my cc info and I know amazon can ship quickly. I wonder if you can build a shopping comparison site that holds my cc and shipping info so that I can literally check out on the shopping comparison page...
- dynofuz 11y agoagreed. thats' the goal with #2 the shopping assistant. web crawlers are currently all GET, it's about time we start POSTing data
- sharemywin 11y agowhy not dollar shave club for everything? yes you can buy onetime purchases but I need personal shopper that reorders. Here's everything I buy find me the best prices at the time of purchase and how often I want them. oops, I have too many of this hold off a week. And you have $5 maybe $10 per month to do it.
