IEA001 | 6 years ago | on: Show HN: I made this to filter products I like on shopping sites

Hi!

I got frustrated by how much time I wasted online, always filtering for the same things on shopping sites. Thought: If only I could set my filters once! And this project was born. A Chrome browser extension that automatically filters the products I like on shopping sites. In this case vegan products.

How it works: 1. Download Chrome extension (3 clicks, no email / signup) 2. Browse retail sites 3. Vegan filters are set automatically across retail sites.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this simple implementation ==> On Google Chrome: https://bit.ly/2Jv7Qku (free)

Thank you :)

@all: Thanks for trialling 'Get up or die'. There is currently an issue with delivering text messages to some of you. This looks to be related to country codes, e.g. messages to China, Indonesia, Thailand and Hungary are affected. Checking with the provider - please hang in there. If anyone has experience with sending text messages to these country codes using Twilio, please let me know. THanks

@mds101: Yes - the current sequence of messages allows for about 30min after the set wake-up time. Brainsync.

And I like the idea to add a balance. Would also limit the amount of partial / dummy records being submitted. Some people are cautious about giving their cc details to new services like this though, see e.g. wozmirek's comment further up. Any ideas how to give these users more confidence in the early days?

hi @allthatisrael - great question. currently, the service is entirely trust-based. thought of extending the functionality in the future to include e.g. a photo challenge (in the sense of submitting a picture of your breakfast for instance). but more validation needed if that's appealing to users - and there would be still an element of trust.

how would you go about this? ideas welcome :)

You would like to work on this other side project, get fitter, read, volunteer,… in 2019? Same here. And I know first-hand it can be challenging to make time.

A great first step is to beat the charm of the snooze button in the morning. Get up on time, to have more time. And that’s how I came up with ‘Get up or die’.

How it works: 1. Set a time to get up 2. Get reminder messages in the morning, like a friend is chasing you 3. Get up on time – or donate $3.00 to a charitable organisation

So you either get up, or you do good. Win-win.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the current simple implementation. Also - to which charity shall donations go to?

Thank you. :)
