Needs to filter whether it can show HDMI 4K at 30Hz or 60Hz. And related to that, for video, it’s possible to have 2 4K 60hz through or one or none. Also filter whether it’s one USB-C connects to computer or two USB-C connects to computer. With two USB-C connected to computer, can pass through more types of USB to accessories.

For a few years I didn't buy new hardware and recently I started seen "HDMI cables with / without ETHERNET" I thought it was some crappy marketing, wrong Chinese translation of just a "scam" like the HDMI to water tap adapter, but after looking on the internet I discovered it was real.

#233I was thinking about adding few things to make it paid service: - allow people to enter keywords describing product - allow people to enter their own affiliate id - allow people to generate short url to dynamically generated page showing above All above would allow people to quickly generate and share chunks of specific amazon products to their following and monetize it. You could either produce sidebar with your own…
I was thinking about the same. If there are any affiliate marketing people in here, can you tell us more about your workload, RoI, setup and problems? :D
Issues are with marketing (SEO, useful text), malformed or wrong informations and normally there is no global valid usable database available to get all the data. Sometimes I depend on crawling, so websites changing break normally price-updating. By using an API its not such much a hassle, but also using the API sometimes product ids change and you have to keep it updated to not end up with a broken website.
I created Keyfuchs[1], a german / english price comparing website for game key prices and we mostly manually write the texts, half-automatically crawl the different stores and try to set it up nicely for our users.

#234For choosing the right product based on a list of spec requirements I can highly recommend the price comparison website Geizhals [1]. They offer an insane amount of filter options over a wide category of products. Want USB C hub with Power Delivery, Gigabit LAN, a card reader and at least 2 display options? Here are your options: [2]. Also works for Mainboards, TVs and a whole lot of other stuff [1] https://geizhals.…
This one is my favorite site of this type: https://www.productchart.com It has an awesome interface and covers the US and the UK.

#237This is really cool. One more bit of data that would be helpful: cord length. Almost all of these have short cords that are great for portable use cases, but not ideal for use at a desk.

I've been working for 2 years on a successor for productchart! Modern UI and KISS, check it out here : https://picked.cc
How can you reduce phones to a single checkbox that says whether they're "intuitive" or not?

Type-C says that there can't be type-c hubs. Just wait for some Chinese OEM to work that around
> Type-C says that there can't be type-c hubs. Where does it say that? I've seen a lot of posts claiming just the opposite. You can't just take a setup designed for type-A ports and mechanically convert them to type-C, because that would allow you to make an A-to-A connection. But that's not a blocker for a properly-designed hub.
I bet this is fully artificial limitation sneaked into the spec by people not wanting "stuff working without PCs"
