I just added some individual product pages to the site so you can link and share GPUs. I eventually want to add a comments system and a 24-hour price history graph (since some stores don't like me storing the history for more than 24 hours). So far the site fetches and updates prices every 5 minutes, and organizes everything by cost. I've been developing and maintaining this for around 8 months, so I'd like to hear what other people think of the project and if there are any suggestions to improve it going forward! | ||

For a bit of background context, I made this when I was buying 2 RTX 4070s about 2 years ago and they were super expensive, and I realized no other PC building websites would just straight up show you what the cheapest GPUs were. I was also trying to buy 4070 supers but Amazon search was just showing me every single combination of regular/ti/super even though I only wanted a 4070 super, which was frustrating. I built my website around the philosophy of trying to simplify what you see, like aggregating every GPU by type (so all 5070s are together, all 5080s are together, 5070 Tis get a separate group too, and so on...), and showing one series at a time (though there is a "Show All" button if you want to see everything). Recently, I added GPU pages (the buttons saying "View GPU Info" with an arrow). I was originally worried there would be too many buttons, but so far the Discord community seems to like it. I'm sharing the project here to maybe get the opinions of some more people. Would this be something you would use if you're trying to build a gaming PC? Also, here is a link to the previous thread where I originally posted it about a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47474982 | ||
