I launched this as a Show HN because I thought it would be fun to build, and it just exploded :). It's profitable, and only a side project. I'll never make it a full-time thing, but the daily users make it a real joy to maintain.

I actually launched my side project on indiehackers - http://www.oppsdaily.com - a newsletter filled with software opportunities. I posted some of the traffic stats here http://www.oppsdaily.com/blog
This looks really cool. I signed up.

#104I've spent a couple of years making https://pricehipster.com It's a very fast product search engine and price comparison website. Search speeds won't be great outside Australia (Australian stores). I am currently making preparations to expand to other countries later this year. It has only become (slightly) profitable just recently.

I am actually working on a similar project (purely to see how it works etc.) Did you end up just scraping the websites for prices or did you end up finding API or APIs to do this?
