FYI, our WebSense filter at work filters this for "potentially harmful content." Likely a mistake on the filter's part, but thought you'd like to know.
I guess the business model here is affiliate marketing. I noticed that the URLs you use to redirect to Amazon.co.uk product pages don't include the "tag=your-associate-id" query string parameter. Are you still eligible for commission?
Yep it is affiliate marketing - we just launched to friends and family here in the UK to begin with but have just applied to SkimLinks so will turn any of our links into affiliate links.

But you don't make any money right now, right? Because there is no "tag" parameters in the URL.
Is there a special reason why you chose ASP.NET for this project?

Small note: this is totally fine for the MVP you have, but I found sorting items alphabetically to be annoying. Why would I want to see things that happen to start with letters nearer the beginning of the alphabet first? As you iterate, might be something to think about. Maybe price point or popularity would be more helpful ways to organize the stuff.

Cool idea, good job on executing so quickly (2 weeks!). Small note: this is totally fine for the MVP you have, but I found sorting items alphabetically to be annoying.

Yeh we'll definitely sort differently in the future. We'll also allow users to drag tiles around and arrange their list in anyway they want..
