I guess you didn't read the amazon tos then. Price trends and history is not allowed.

ToS are not enforceable if you don't use an official product feed from Amazon in this case. As shown by thousands of companies providing exactly this service for competitor analysis.

i think they mean the ToS for amazon's affiliate link service, which prohibits earning a commission if your site has price history (a few large and old sites have exceptions)

UX bug: I don't use dark mode. Every time I open this site, it firstly shows in dark mode and then switches to light mode after 0.x seconds.

That’s because the HTML code is server-side rendered (SSR) with data-theme="dark" hardcoded on the element, so on the initial page load the browser immediately renders with dark mode styles applied. After ± 500ms-600ms Nuxt’s JavaScript hydration kicks in (as this is a Nuxt app based on __NUXT__ at line 11,236), which detects your macOS system preference via prefers-color-scheme media query and updates data-theme to "light".

How is it different from https://diskprices.com/ ?

Neither allow filtering for CMR (vs SMR) or TLC (vs QLC).

Neither have a column for Endurance (TBW), or power consumption (load watt, idle watt, RPM...).

Both list disks not actually available for purchase (fake prices).

Very limited usefulness.

Well, for one, the prices are less accurate... ;)

i tried 5 items. all of the prices are widely off. i just gave up.

you have to find the "renewed" price somewhat hidden on the amazon page

This is much better than dark mode users getting flashbanged.
