Nice, added. I was able to find some books here that were not listed on any of the other sites. I am surprised that there still is variety. Is there a reason an independent bookstore lists their books on one marketplace but not on another?

Wow, that's cool!

Ok, I added them. I love audio books. I wish there was a store that sells them for download without DRM. Just like as if you bought the CD, but without the CD.

Interesting. I am looking around their page, but can't find a description on how it works. They say nothing about a CD or something, so it seems you can listen to the audiobooks on their site? How do the local bookstores come into play

Is Amazon really offering a narrower selection of titles than other stores? What would be an example of a title Amazon does not have?

Thanks! I added Foyles. I think there needs to be more info than just "They are not Amazon". Otherwise all shops in the list would be the same. Except Amazon :) Which of the 3 you mentioned would you buy from for your next book or

Hey, I am currently putting together a list of bookstores here: https://www.gnod.com/search/books Adding Bookshop.org now. If anybody here is buying online from a store that is not on the list, let me know. (With a sho

Yes, it is a bit too hidden I guess. Not sure is labeling the highlight button "Highlight/Compare" is the way to go. Feels a bit cluttered. Maybe "Select"?

The hard part about user generated product data would be to handle trustworthyness. That would involve voting for correct and against wrong data, building user trust points etc. Not a small feat.

I'm a bit hesitant to add more product categories at the moment. All the data is manually researched, which takes about 1h per day, 7 days a week. There are a surprisingly large number of new products and product variations coming out

Glad you like it. Have you seen that you can hightlight one camera and then compare it to another?

Some years ago, I accidentally got into the camera comparison game. It started with this Show HN about a weekend project which displays flashdrives on a scatterplot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7465980 Over time, I

The anti-substack techniques in Twitter's codebase seem to run surprisingly deep. I just noticed that when you try to search for "Substack", Twitter will search for "Newsletter" instead. I wonder why Twitter is so a

Important to note that the solution uses reflection. It uses the tile and a mirrored version of it. In my book, this means it is rather using two tiles than one. So the journey is not over. The question if a nonperiodic tiling of the plane

Can an LLM really "only respond to user input"? ChatGPT keeps state between multiple answers. And the user can also be "used" as some kind of state. The LLM can (in its response) prompt the user to give it certain types
