Are you referring to a text box that would allow you to filter the brands based on what you type into the box instead of having to scroll through all the brands?

I added an include/exclude toggle for Brands. Take a look and let me know if this works for you.

Nice layout. Looks solid on mobile.

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

Yep. That's one of the downsides of relying on unit count. Sellers don't always accurately match the unit count to their product title. I'll work on fixing these inconsistencies.

That's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into expanding the filters to be more useful and allow some more granularity.

I'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.

You're probably right. I can see how LLM is the better way to approach this. I haven't looked into AI usage fees or anything, but I would think the amount of queries I'd send wouldn't be that expensive. I'll look into it.

Funny that you mention that. That's how it originally worked, but I changed it to filter in brands because I assumed golfers are more brand loyal, and thought they might want to only look at the brands they normally play with.

I think your toggle idea is a good one though, and I'll look to implement that. I can see how some people might want that.

Yeah. I state in my post that I took inspiration from diskprices.com. I always wanted to build something similar, but for a product that I actually buy on semi-regular basis.

I appreciate you taking a look. This product weight approach has me intrigued and something I'll look into.

I'm thinking I could just start with any listing where unit count = 1 and take a pass at those first. I haven't looked yet, but I'm guessing single unit counts are almost always inconsistent with the actual number of golf balls.

O wow, that's an interesting approach. That would've never crossed my mind without posting this on HN. Appreciate the suggestion.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I love that site and always sat around thinking about building something like it, but for a product I buy frequently. And I finally built it.
