Some apps I really like are on sale. Here are some suggestions: Web Development: - ProxyMan - https://proxyman.io/ — web debugging proxy (30% off the first year) - Tower - https://www.git-tower.com/ — powerful Git Client (50% off the first year) - DevUtils - https://devutils.com/ — set of small developer tools (50% off) For overall productivity: - BetterTouchTool - https://folivora.ai/ — customize input devices (50%…

ProxyMan looks nice, is it better than Charles?

It's really nice. I bought it last year, but don't use it frequently enough and didn't renew it this year. If you're in the same boat https://mitmproxy.org is really helpful and with `mitmweb` offering a web alternative to their TUI it's really convenient.

If you have ProxyMan you can renew with the discount, too.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It brings in a handful of signups, not as many as I thought it would. Plus the occasional comment about how people like it :)

Makes sense! And by the way thanks for teaching me React two years back, your course was the only thing that made sense to me.

Hey you're welcome! Great to hear it was helpful :)

I'm doing a 50% off sale for my app Recut, https://getrecut.com It's a simplified video editor that removes pauses and dead air, and creates a cut list you can then import into a "real" editor. Saves a bunch of time if you're doing talking-head videos, vlogging, podcasts, screencasts... the sorts of content where the first step of editing is to chop out the long pauses and mistakes. I originally built it because I wa…

Looks nice I probably will pick it up - any thought about adding a "filler" word detection/removal such as "umms" and "ahhs"?

One of these days, probably! It's on my list of things to look into.

An Anker Power Bank (24,000mAh) has a £40 discount right now on Amazon UK. This is a really nice piece of tech that has helped me to work outside the house with peace of mind. Can keep my phone charged (which I use for tethering) for over a week, no problem. Drains way quicker when charging my M1, but that one has far less battery issues when compared to my phone. The discount is real, as well. I know because I bough…

That does look like a good discount, but in the US it's still pretty pricey ($100). For my needs, the 535 looks like a better deal — it's $50 and has 30W max. Fine for my M2 MBA and certainly my iPhone and other peripherals. It's 20k instead of 24k, but it's half the price and still has USB-C. Not a bad deal!

Here's the list of Top Amazon Black Friday deals which are currently active - https://thegadgetlite.com/2022/11/amazon-black-friday-deals-...

FYI, they don't list prices here and have incorrect photos for at least some items (Apple Watch 8 shows an image of an AWU).

Generally I find Black Friday a bit overhyped, the "bargains" are best checked against price history with (say) CamelCamelCamel before you buy. Not Black Friday, but in the UK and maybe other countries, Amazon Warehouse is currently doing a 20% off sale, so 20% off the price when you get to checkout. I've had a few good "As New" things off there in the past, worth having a look. There's also a 50% off books sale on t…

Is it possible to do an API request to find greatest price differential compared to historical price of items with > 1000 reviews?

You would think so, I've often wondered similar myself, there's obviously opportunity to increase the chance of finding genuinely good deals but I don't know to what extent Amazon's API and historical data is available generally, these docs look like the relavent ones (eg the pricing section):

Thanks for the information, I saw it too, but what I like about them is that they are constantly refreshing it with new offers.
