Suggestions:
Put the parameters into the url so searches can be bookmarked, like zip codes, terms, filters, and other aspects can be shared easily as well.
Description search both include (like i7, 16GB) which is good for electronics and exclude for example exclude "repair" or "needs repair" which is helpful for many things.
Category specific filters, vehicle millage range, year
Keywords classification filters like pickup, delivery, payment methods, how many days you have to pay if known, etc.
You are probably already thinking along these lines for some of them, just an encouragement to implement. Yes categorization/filters can be fuzzy(commas, which word or plurals used, etc), so feel free to put the [beta] or [experimental] tag until a recipe that gets most of the stuff works.
Thanks for building this, I bookmarked it and already shared it with a few friends.
- player_piano 6mo agoVery kind of you - sharing this has definitely highlighted some of the rough edges :) Search / Alert accuracy is one big thing I need to make better, and I will take note of these suggestions.
- xnx 6mo agoI second the search parameters in URL. RSS feed of search page would also be great.
- molticrystal 6mo agoRSS Feeds of searches would be great, I know alerts exist, but for this community being able to get data through alternative methods, especially RSS is very appreciated.
- player_piano 6mo agoNoted. Crazy that as I was building this I was wondering whether I should be designing it as much for agent browsing as for humans. Update: search params are now passed into the URL
- baby_souffle 6mo agoConsider me a +1 for rss. That's one thing GovDeals is sorely missing.
- bpavuk 6mo agoit's not so much for agents as for getting fresh deals right in your browser sidebar (Zen Browser live folders, for example) or a dedicated RSS reader app (like Newsflash) I only read HN through Zen Browser sidebar and, rarely, Telegram at this point. everything else - friends' blogs, Codeberg/Tangled/GitHub activity - only as new tabs on the left side of the screen.
