Impressive, Excited to try it out!
how this works? does amazon have any api?
no you have to create your own dataset
Should I be at all suspicious that the first two comments are both from accounts made the same day, both have no comments or karma except the ones here, and both are brief and extremely positive?
Do you have a contract with Amazon to use their product data like this?
Not really sure at this point, just built an mvp. Amazon does provide affiliate api to fetch product info so maybe that in future.
I'm assuming that the direct links are affiliate links, and is how you monetize. This is fine--but call that out, because otherwise I'm left here scratching my head about who the sucker is at the table and worrying that it's me. If they aren't affiliate links, then call that out as well, because otherwise people feel like you're doing something underhanded...
Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate you pointing out that I should disclose that some of the links on my website are affiliate links. I'm still learning the ropes of product development, and I'm always open to suggestions.

I've updated my disclosure on the website to make it clear that some of the links are affiliate links. I've also added a statement that says that this tool is ad-free, and that product results are not manipulated or biased.

I hope this is more transparent. Thanks again for your feedback!

Let me know if you have any other feedback for me.
