#22I dont get it... doesn't amazon already have searching by price/rating?
Amazon does, but I find their results rather wonky at times. Filtering by rating works fine, but sorting on price seems to rarely work right -- they are often way out of order. Also filtering on price doesn't seem to work very well either.
On this, I would guess the price range categorization makes that more absolute. I would play with it more but I don't really have time right now.

#23Seems nice. I wanted to just see the best products by category, but it wouldn't let me search for [blank].

#24Very nice way to make some side cash by using amazon affiliate network. Just make sure you are following their rules to a T so you do not get the hammer and actually get paid.
I like the clean look and the blue load bar. I also like the results.

#25Some or all of the item prices seem to be based on the lowest "Used" price. This is not always ideal -- I am not about to buy a bookcase normally around $50 from the one seller that has it at $12. Being able to exclude used prices would be great. Otherwise great UI and idea.
Doesn't matter, got your browser cookied with the affiliate program. ;)

#26This is really nice. Any chance of making it work for other Amazon sites (regions) than .com?

#27Fantastic experience using this site! I love seeing what $50 extra bucks gives me and I more often than not splurge the little extra.

Is this really the top comment on this thread? And I thought HN had come so far.
This is an amazing website! Kudos to the creator(s).
It's exactly the way I wish I could browse Amazon, and since it's currently swallowing the HN firehose, I'm impressed that it's up and working. Given that it's so useful I will actually use it for shopping from now on, I feel like we can definitely cut it some slack on its day-one execution.

#29FYI, your URLs seem to be encoded incorrectly (perhaps missing a decodeURIComponent somewhere, or incorrectly calling encodeURIComponent). Are you sure Amazon pays when it's in that format?

#30In tools & home, a search for ryobi or milwaukee yields results 1/2 full of DeWalt tools. Just as I suspected.
