For our browser extension, The Camelizer, I wrote Spader: https://github.com/cosmic-shovel/spader It lets me use Ruby in my html/css/js files, and also sass in the css, letting us use one codebase for all target…
I think Amazon is adding the language parameter. We do not force a language on outgoing links. Worth stripping on our end, though. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you. We currently have no expansion plans.
Amazon's policies changed in both China and Japan. This cut us off from the product data in those countries.
An awful lot of my decision making in the last ~13 years has included the question: what if the Camels don't exist tomorrow? Which isn't particularly unusual for a business, but it can make planning difficult.
Thank you to everyone who uses our website. We are fortunate to have been able to run it for so long. Edit: Camel+YC fact: we pitched to YC early on, but weren't ready to give up our day jobs at the time. A few months…
Thanks for your support.
Camel creator here. This is, for now, only in the EU. We are still tracking prices in US/CA/AU. The return of EU tracking is currently uncertain. After the crisis is over, we don't know if Amazon will just tell us we're…
Years ago, when Google kicked our browser extension out of their store, we were in a similar situation. Fortunately, I knew more than one person who worked there and begged them to ask around. Eventually, we were told…
We bought 14 of them, plus a RAID card.
All of the drives in the RAID were the same age, so it didn't make a lot of sense to replace only three of them. That reduces the price per drive to a mere $1,000! What a steal.
I would much rather deal with Amazon for returns and replacements though. Their customer service is streets ahead of Newegg's.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Should be working now, sorry about that.
We applied to YC in 2008, I think, but weren't ready to commit to it fulltime. Then we did just that in 2009.
We did indeed live tweet it. Just wanted to keep our users aware of our movements, and avoid the "camel has died forever" fears.
Last I checked, just one AWS database instance would cost us $20k+/year if we pre-paid for a reserved instance, and that doesn't include all the usage-based fees (storage, iops). And it's only a headache if you dislike…
I'll look into this, maybe I can fix it.
That'll last as your product list grows...
Glad you like it (I'm the author.)
We're about to launch a new design that I hope solves this problem: New product page: http://s3.amazonaws.com/scrnshots.com/screenshots/262877/new... http://s3.amazonaws.com/scrnshots.com/screenshots/262881/new...
My laptop has 8 pounds worth of pirated movies in it.
I am hoping to get some feedback about my site from all you Hackers. There was some good discussion about price trackers in a previous thread, but I think many comments and/or sites got lost in the noise. So, what do…
Nice site! I dig the simplicity and usefulness of the design.
Thanks, I have put quite a lot of work into it since January 2008. The site has been very profitable since launching in April! Here's hoping that continues in 2009... Suggestions, feature requests, and bug reports are…
