Something to fix - sub names are case-insensitive. Also, reddit automatically redirects to the correctly capitalized version, so it's easy to learn what it is.
That is, /r/Books and /r/books should be treated as synonims.

#52Reddit Search can do a similar trick: "subreddit:gadgets site:amazon.com", sorted by "top"[1]
It finds only posts, not comments. That's a good thing. Comment karma accounts for a comment's entire content. What if the comment gets upvotes for something other than an Amazon link inside it? Post karma is a bit better in this respect.
Reddit Search supports any domain. So you can search any shop. Like vat19.com and etsy.com.
Reddit allows browsing by domain. Like https://www.reddit.com/domain/amazon.com/top/
Secondly, some subreddits are specifically devoted to product recommendations:
* https://www.reddit.com/r/shutupandtakemymoney/
* https://www.reddit.com/r/IdBuyThat/
* https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonTopRated/
And Reddit has a JSON output: https://www.reddit.com/r/shutupandtakemymoney.json?sort=top&...

I did not know that. Very cool. I tried this for AmazonTopRated => https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazonTopRated.json?sort=top&t=all and got a forbidden / 403 error. Turns out that subreddit is "Private" / Invite-only.
However, google cache still has links. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.red...

Reddit can also send RSS:
* https://www.reddit.com/r/shutupandtakemymoney.rss?sort=top&t...
AmazonTopRated is invite-only. Hence, no 403.

Case in point: I was just looking at /r/malefashionadvice on the submitted site and found a lot of comments that were upvoted for mocking other users with joke products.

#57Very nice idea and execution.
Btw, how do you get the main product image url to display on your site? Is there an api for that?

#58Congrats to OP for shipping.
I tried to do something not so similar to this and failed miserably :-( https://hnpicks.com . I guess I just got busy and stopped half way at implementing the NLP and sentiment analysis.
It was an interesting weekend :-)
