Very cool! Congrats on shipping!

What's your tech stack?

How long did it take you to build this,starting from the idea to build and launch i.e. deploying code to thingsonreddit.com ?

Thanks, this project uses Ruby on Rails 5 with Webpacker (React). I've found making websites quickly with Rails is very effective. The data can be found on Google BigQuery and I then used Scrapy to scrape Amazon pages for further product info. It's deployed to a DigitalOcean node and connects to an Amazon RDS Postgres instance.

The conception of the idea was Tuesday. The next thing I knew it was Saturday, and I felt ready enough to post.
