  • Oh, I already have the scrapers up and running. I should be able to update prices at least every 24 hours at launch and I am exploring a webhook based system for adhoc updates for flash sales and things like that.

    I definitely utilized pc part picker for each of my past builds, and see them as the shoulders I’d be standing on. The big advantage that I’m hoping to bring that they’ve dabbled a bit in but not really seized on is the integration of the relative performance metrics. Beyond that, having more of a one stop view, such that you don’t have to go hunting for each part in a category. One is suggested, which you can swap out if you want something more powerful or less expensive which should be a little less overwhelming for new folks than the volume of options available on pc part picker.



  • I still can’t believe that no one else has made a smart watch with physical buttons and low energy use that has surpassed the pebble after all this time. I’m still cautious that this venture will pan out, but honestly there really hasn’t been a smart watch released that matches my use case. Sleep tracking makes no sense if I have to charge the watch daily, as I’d probably charge it over night. Media control with screen buttons is awful. Fossil came close with their hybrid smart watch, but the layout of the media controls made no sense and couldn’t easily be used without looking at the watch. Just let me check my calendar and texts and skip through ads in podcasts, and last over a week of battery and you will have my money.
