#62It would be nice to see which ones are linux friendly and don't come with Windows preinstalled.
Why does having Windows preinstalled matter? You can always install Linux over it.

Styling the links, giving it a proper header, dividing it more properly into sections, and that will look infinitely better and still work equally well on all screens. The site is a good idea, making it looks like a real project by giving it at least craigslist level of design will take half a day and increase the appeal a lot. And visitors like won't have to check whether the css just did not load before writing a c…
With all respect: I completely disagree. I think this looks great as is. Dividing it up, adding a bunch of extra CSS would make it less usable and readable for me. Of course, that tends to be subjective.

Congratulations on shipping. That's the hardest part. Very clever on Amazon links in reddit being the source of truth. That will obviously leave a lot on the table, but gives you really reliable parsing. Honestly, this is a great site. I'd keep it simple, but you could definitely expand on the styling a little bit.
