Re: Show HN: Personalized, email-based “Wirecutter for anything”
#2The no-brainer use case for me is actually buying something cheap - e.g., toilet paper. I often find myself spending 20 minutes combing through Amazon to find the cheapest package that doesn't suck when I don't really care about toilet paper at all and don't worry too much about trying to save $3...but it's human nature to want the best value.
So it's a lot easier to just have someone tell me exactly what to buy and I can spend 30 seconds and know that I didn't leave a few bucks on the table and that I got a good product.
Of course, I know the founder so I trust them to actually suggest the right thing (in the same way that I know basically trust Wirecutter blindly), which makes the service useful, and I think the question is whether their reports are good enough that they can convince strangers/random users to trust them in the same way.
