Show HN: Amazon-like product recommendation engine to power open-source eComm

25 points| foklepoint | 3 years ago |search.rye.com | reply

Hi HN! I wanted to share our product search and recommendation engine that we’ve built for our eCommerce api startup - Rye. For context, Rye lets people query and dropship products from almost any Shopify and Amazon store. One feature we wanted to have as part of our developer experience was a way for them to search and discover specific products to query.

We’ve put together a demo marketplace to showcase the engine. Check it out here: https://search.rye.com/

Here’s a blog that outlines how we built it and how you can to: https://blog.rye.com/a-beginners-guide-to-building-a-product...

If you’d like to build on it, we’re also down to open source it for folks that want access.

Cool product. Can you explain how it’s different than Algolia?

Hmm, is it just a shop / aggregator?

I'm not sure what to make of this.. what's so special?
