Hey HN, I made a search engine / bot that helps you to choose products and other things.
The problem is that, when you want to buy something new, there are often too many options to choose from. Gravle helps narrowing this down with (hopefully :D) smart questions about what exactly you're looking for.
In a supermarket you can often see people staring at the shelf of wines, confused about which one to choose. You might have this experience yourself. Often you end up choosing the one that is not too ugly, not too expensive, not to cheap, and that looks like many other customers bought it. Or the one with the highest discount.
Something similar happens in many other categories: phones, laptops, president candidates, etc. With Gravle, I hope to make these choices easier.
Of course many online stores have search filters. But for many non-tech people these filters are just as hard to use as the wine ‘filters’ might be for you. A few simple questions are often more helpful to find the right choice.
The backend is developed from scratch in Go. The frontend is made with Nuxt.js/Vue.js. There’s room for a lot of improvement, so I would love if you share some feedback. Thanks!

The main problem is indeed that there is relatively little data and that it's hard to keep this up to date.
After considering this, I'll try to turn in into a product that you can use for your own data. Seems like a better fit :)
