| Great to see they support and still use Perl. Geizhals is a very usable and functional product and price comparison page. Looks a little bit old, but that is exactly what I like. Geizhals is associated with the Heise Verlag, that is what I do not like so much, because there was a steady decline in quality in the recent years. |

| UI-wise it reminds me of Craigslist. |

| They had some very recent UI overhauls, it looks more friendly now. |

| ▲ | pixelpoet 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Yeah I'm hugely frustrated by their recent updates that hide / obfuscate the filters, which is basically the main way you want to use the site. I'm pretty sure it's yet another casualty of optimising for phone normies :( | | |
| ▲ | sjn 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I agree! The filters made be go to the site, and I don't even live in any of the markets they serve! (Though I do visit, and sometimes buy tings based on what I've found through the site). | |
| ▲ | stefs 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | i just went back to check (i've already been there today) and there's an option "always show filters" in the upper right corner. | | |
| ▲ | pixelpoet 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Good to know, thanks. I was looking for something like that but couldn't find it last time, maybe it's new? Still makes about as much sense to me as Google adding a "always show search box" option that defaults to off :D |

| ▲ | jagermo 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | still the best filters, i think. You can filter stuff so deeply, its crazy. |

| Haters will say a major factor in still using Perl is the difficulty to replace up to 25+ years old Perl code written at startup pace AND the difficulty to teach old Perl devs a new language. |
