    Northwoods is actually a very real collegiate summer baseball league. https://northwoodsleague.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwoods_League

    Are you referring to a text box that would allow you to filter the brands based on what you type into the box instead of having to scroll through all the brands?

    I added an include/exclude toggle for Brands. Take a look and let me know if this works for you.

    Yep. That's one of the downsides of relying on unit count. Sellers don't always accurately match the unit count to their product title. I'll work on fixing these inconsistencies.

    That's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into expanding the filters to be more useful and allow some more granularity.

    You're probably right. I can see how LLM is the better way to approach this. I haven't looked into AI usage fees or anything, but I would think the amount of queries I'd send would…

    Funny that you mention that. That's how it originally worked, but I changed it to filter in brands because I assumed golfers are more brand loyal, and thought they might want to on…

    Yeah. I state in my post that I took inspiration from diskprices.com. I always wanted to build something similar, but for a product that I actually buy on semi-regular basis.

    I appreciate you taking a look. This product weight approach has me intrigued and something I'll look into. I'm thinking I could just start with any listing where unit count = 1 an…

    O wow, that's an interesting approach. That would've never crossed my mind without posting this on HN. Appreciate the suggestion.

    Thank you. I appreciate it. I love that site and always sat around thinking about building something like it, but for a product I buy frequently. And I finally built it.

    Before going full AI, maybe I could create a list of quantity keywords like "dozen", "3-pack", etc... and at least use that as a starting point.

    Yeah... I'm just now realizing how relying on unit count in the listing is more problematic than I thought. Sellers say their unit count is 1, but the product title says it is 4 do…

    Show HN: Price Per Ball – Site that sorts golf balls on Amazon by price per ball

    I took inspiration from diskprices.com, but applied it to my golfing hobby. For someone who can't always keep it in the fairway, golf balls can get rather expensive, so I decided t…

    If you haven't heard of it, maybe give MacroFactor a look (not affiliated, just a happy user). It is the only food log and weight tracker that I've used with success. On the weight…

    Yes. I had a similar experience. The answer would come to me before I even finished reading the prompt, but I never felt like I was actually learning the info. Just memorizing the …
