Show HN: A programmer's approach to finding gifts
15 by cvanvlack | 15 comments on Hacker News.
Hey Folks, I’ve been really annoyed with the search part of finding gifts. It’s hard to use keyword search for something when it’s an “I’ll know it when I see it” kind of deal. So I thought, what if we scraped/indexed TONS of products and then just focused on removing the things we don’t want and then see what’s left to see if there’s anything cool? I built it in Flutter so it's both iOS and Android but it could be web too. I’ve only just started the scraping/tagging of products and if anyone has suggestions for bulk tagging images/content I would love to hear them. That’s the current bottleneck. Any feedback would be welcome! cvanvlack AT gmail DOT com if you want to discuss 1-on-1.
