Original Summary

Every deal site I've used measures percentage off against the list price (or referred to as MSRP), which is frequently a number somebody made up and can lead to over-inflated "deals", which aren't deals at all. I wanted a deal site that measured against what the thing actually typically is selling for, so I built it. kuzago.com - Free, no signup, no ads. Discount is shown when it beats the lowest of (cheapest new offer right now, Amazon's own price right now, 90-day average new price). All data is from Amazon only, any off-site pricing isn't considered. The other half is deal freshness. Open-box and Used stock is usually one or two units, so most deal sites are full of listings that sold days ago. There are also New condition deals on the site although there are some limitation on how I can display discounts on those products due to Amazon Associates TOS. Every listing here is re-checked against Amazon's API. No live offer means no price shown and it comes off the page. The list is shorter than it could be, which is the point. The build is as follows One Cloudflare Worker on the free plan. No server, no build step, no framework. The page is a single HTML file. Free-plan Workers get ~10ms CPU per invocation, which shapes the whole architecture. The refresh can't run as one job, so its ~25 cron-triggered steps staggered across the first half of every other hour. 20 searches fetch a page each, then chunks get assembled, then an index is written. Storage is Workers KV, which has a 1,000-writes day free cap. Two data sources, deliberately separated: one for finding candidate listings, and Amazon's own API for every price, condition grade and image actually displayed (which is required by Amazon's TOS) Published JSON is edge-cached so repeat visitors don't re-read KV About 3,000 listings at a time, refreshed every two hours. I can likely increase deal-flow but wanted to optimize for deal quality first. There are a lot of factors that can allow a bad deal to "pass through" and I'm trying to eliminate every bad deal scenario that I've seen in my testing, which is hard, but worth it in my opinion to gain user trust. Who it's for Frugal shoppers - really most people these days "in this economy" Resellers - tons of money in reselling open-box auto parts, tools, etc on eBay or Marketplace. Some of the deals in those categories are 80% off + (I know because I've resold tons of items from deals like these) Limitations right now US and Amazon only. Two-hour refresh, so a price can move in between or a deal can sell out. It carries Amazon affiliate links, which is the only plan for monetization right now. Does the front page make it obvious what the site is within about three seconds? That's the part I've rewritten most and I've lost all perspective on it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!   submitted by   /u/Acrobatic-Struggle48 [link]   [comments]
