I think the point is 'works like clockwork'. And as the other user said, I'm not prepared to test out your service if you require a registration and sign in before I can see anything about it.

#13If JS is disabled, it shows an unstyled page with text "Please wait".
Would make sense to make it downgrade nicely, at the very least for the landing page.

#14I'm the founder of http://pricify.com and we've had several iterations of the product and focusing on various experiments. Currently we land users on a landing page and thats a test we've been running for a while, but we've also had it where products are listed upfront with infinite scroll. Both seem to achieve hit different goals.
We've spent a long time establishing landing page messages so it makes sense to users as soon as they get there - otherwise they just bounce, including HN users! I've not signed up to try this out, but there is just not enough info before asking a visitor to sign up. So may want to add some info there on the value prop?

There is also http://camelegg.com for Newegg
Those 2 sites are probably the most I purchase from, however generic is nice for the other non-popular stuff!
Another cool addon is Hoverhound: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newzon/ I can see how low it has ever been vs just a price drop, and it prevents me from buying on newegg when it sees a lower price on amazon

#17Nice title...also not a sentence.
Re: Show HN: An app that alerts you when your favourite product has a price change
#18camelcamelcamel.com for Amazon products is pretty nifty
I have used https://pricenoia.com/ to compare prices between different Amazon sites and alert me of price drops

Thanks, now we have a print screen on the first page (quick version).

Is a single page app. Need JS.
