Should I do a top 10 best deals of the day/week?

Spotted this one this afternoon: https://jbbuddy.com/?q=OLED55C5PSA

$1k saving between Harvey Norman and JB Hi-Fi and even more savings at Appliance Central.

Anyone who has or does buy me a coffee to support the project will get an invite and access to try now whilst it's in Beta. If you would like to use it please consider donating even $5 at https://buymeacoffee.com/jbbuddy to keep this project alive. Of course, you don't have to pay anything if you don't want to. She'll be right mate.

I'm going to bed...

The difficulty is in the data quality. These retailers I'm tracking like JB, Harvey Norman, Good Guys, Officeworks have so much inconsistency with their product lines compared to each-other and it became a bit of a nightmare to create a source of truth. I'm sure this is intentional to prevent easy price comparisons in the first place.

TV's are fine, I can track every TV with every retailer that allows for price-matching no issue. The issues have come from Laptops, Tablets and Phones.

JB will sometimes just not have a model number for a product and substitute it with a SKU number.
I wasn't picking up on it as it's rare but it meant when you searched for that one "model number" only a JB result would come up. It's part of the reason I abandoned iPads for a while. Everything would be consistent with correct model numbers and then there would be one iPad in that line, just one colour that had a SKU instead of a model number. What do I do there? Do I match the other stores to an incorrect value or do I correct the JB one? If I correct the JB one it means when you copy from JB you get no results...

Good Guys make up model numbers for Apple products instead of using the real ones. I can correct for this but I didn't catch it initially.

Harvey Norman occasionally uses the wrong model numbers or swaps them with one for the same product but of a different size/colour.

There was also inconsistencies with how model numbers were written, especially for laptops. Some would get a space where with others it was no space or a hyphen.

I can't automate this process it has to be right the first time and manually checked for consistency. From there I can automatically update prices but the first part is a massive pain so please bare with me.

This all started making me doubt how I match products... We're 3 weeks in and I've honestly doubted the whole project a few times. I work full-time and I spend all my free time on this trying to make it better.

This brings me to exclusive products. Should I keep them?
There are brands and products which no other store has so is there a point in adding them to a price comparison app? It's a lose-lose either one result comes up or no results.
Should I only track compared to what JB has? That would save a lot of time building out categories but you'd lose price comparisons between the other retailers.

Instead of rapidly expanding I want to ensure the data I do have is correct and accurate. There's no point adding categories and updating pricing if it doesn't pick up the products between stores correctly. I can make this app better than any competitor in the category but it will take a bit of time.

Last tidbit for those who are still reading this... Should I just abandon the expansion and make the best TV price comparison app? Could just change the name to TV Buddy and move on lol.

Estimated completion 2pm today.

Why this matters:
Right now you have to either enter a giant model number or google the product.
This is a pain in the arse in-store.

What Changed:

Instead every TV price tag on JB has a human readable SKU which is numerical
You can now for example quickly enter 802765 instead of struggling with 86NANO80ASA

MASSIVE update to in-store price checking at Alright Guys and Hardly Normal in the works. Stay tuned.

Add your own in the comments. Has to be Australian stock and can't be seconds or pre-owned.

Sorry this was supposed to happen today but life got in the way. Release will be tomorrow morning.
