wow, thanks for the feedback. Really cool to see your response here after seeing you had such a successful Show HN. I did come across your website at some point before when looking to see if this existed. I think the main difference is you were doing UGC.
-Definitely. IMO a 'lifetime warranty' isn't required for a BIFL product, it's nice to have though. However; some products absolutely depend on a lifetime warranty to make it BIFL, for example Husky Tools. I mostly included warranty info to help buyers be informed.
-I agree. Affiliate links have a bad wrap IMO. I made sure that I only used affiliate links to Amazon so there is no bias with specific brands paying out higher percentages. I have a lot of products where I don't use any affiliate links (Patagonia for example).
-I agree. User generated content would be nice but it's not realistic (at least not yet) I plan to continue to buy and test products myself before including them on my list. Eventually I'd like to have a team and would love to have a UGC component but all of that depends on how successful the site is.
-Astrotrufing is one of the main reasons I made the website! Reddit has become a cesspool of bots and you cannot trust much on there anymore.
Again it's super cool to see your feedback!
