Layout is slick. I am not a developer of any sort but I do like what I see. Good job!

Thanks! I’m a frontend developer now primarily but my passion has always been design.

That confetti is really annoying. I've searched for Houses and every single month is the best time to buy apparently so I get confetti every time I expand a month.

Whoa, this looks great! Super aesthetic site design, and this info is handy, too. Saved!

Lots and lots of research for each product/category
LobsterThief OP t1_j0hkovz wrote
Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I’ll have it only appear once per session.
Housing data and best times are generally monthly and in this case “best” can be split by both “best price” and “best inventory”. This is why that one appears so often.
I’ll figure out a way to improve that distinction and provide some info on those that seem to appear a lot.

Very cool work. But If it’s not data driven and statistically validated it’s not that assuring. Maybe build it further to include that?
LobsterThief OP t1_j0i41ks wrote
Haha that’s the plan! Would love to work on this full time someday. Lots of ideas for it.

Rev links for starters?
LobsterThief OP t1_j0id7dc wrote
Good call! We have Amazon monetized right now but that’s it. Hard to get the others until you show significant traffic sometimes. Any suggestions?
tarok26 t1_j0idoxe wrote
Not my spec., but most important part is traffic and email base. So You should start gathering ppl :)

Very cool.

Bookmarked, any chance of adding geolocation based savings? So best time to buy in Africa or in Canada?
LobsterThief OP t1_j0iruh1 wrote
Good idea! I’ll add this to the roadmap.
LobsterThief OP t1_j0ismsi wrote
Yes, this is absolutely the plan, thanks! I needed to start somewhere to figure out what works; while it’s not 100% accurate [yet], it’s still a useful tool.
I’m glad I’m able to present it to people like yourself early who can help me quantify how important complete accuracy is vs other features.
In addition to working towards that, do you think a page explaining our current data-gathering practices would be useful at this point? The information on the site is still data-driven; the data is just being gathered and aggregated manually vs. directly feeding data sets in.

I gotchu, thanks for the feedback!

Best of luck. I know a couple penny pinchers that will live this so I'm gonna share this around a bit :)

How did you come to the conclusion that houses are on sale 52% of the year. What does that even mean?
baden27 t1_j0jui8u wrote
How does it work? I'm pretty sure house prices don't vary on a monthly basis whether or not you should buy them. Just bought a house a week ago, though. Good thing I didn't do it last month or didn't wait until next month....
Also where do I put in the country or state?

p.s. I think DNA test kits are often on their deepest discounts around Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. I know I’ve bought them for my parents around those holidays.

What is your tech stack on this
sailorjasm t1_j0kvv1w wrote
I tried searching for it but it wasn’t there but I already knew the answer. The best time to buy candy is Nov 1st

Apparently it’s a good time to buy trucks all year round

Same with trucks. Every month is truck month? 🤷🏻♂️

Condoms would be more profitable. Gme don't get fucted by shorts

As long as you buy that new GMC, and not a van...

Really liked the design, what is the teck stack you used for this website?

Great effort! So easy to navigate and informative. Any Aus/NZ one on the cards for the future?

Would be nice if it included bitcoin haha
LobsterThief OP t1_j28wtx5 wrote
Thanks! :) Adding other countries is on our roadmap, I’ll make share Australia/NZ are on there.
The seasons there are generally the same, right? Climate-wise, I mean. That’s a big factor as to when things go on sale.
LobsterThief OP t1_j28wykb wrote
It’s primarily Gatsby (React SSR) with GraphQL and MUI
LobsterThief OP t1_j28wzwy wrote
Will add it to the list!

Thank you :)

Seasons/Climate for Aus/NZ are the mostly the same - but vastly different to Northern Hemisphere.
LobsterThief OP t1_j0gue8i wrote
This is a fun project I've been working on for the past year or so. I designed and coded the whole thing.
There's a lot more I want to add to it (like tracking specific products, ranking each "sale period" to find the absolute best time to buy, etc.)
Anyways, I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas! Thanks :)
