10 days agoGiven how terrible the amazon search functionality is, I don’t see how this would work. There is an overwhelming number of products available there, so it is easy to find what you’re after eventually, but in my experience, the only way to actually find a specific product is with an external search engine.
My normal search pattern goes something like: pricespy/digikey/RS/mouser > if not available, or too expensive> aliexpress > if too much to sift through > google shopping > (this is where amazon links live)
Literally our lead developer:
“you wouldn’t be so confident in the results if you saw the half-assed code I whipped up for than in a single afternoon five years ago”
