I wanted to share a side project that stemmed from a personal frustration many of us may relate to - the struggle to find reliable recommendations for non-serious products like coffee beans or running shoes. Google search results are often cluttered with clickbait articles and biased reviews, making it challenging to get straightforward and trustworthy advice.

To tackle this issue, I've created Reddit Product Search - a simple yet effective tool designed to cut through the noise and deliver recommendations straight from the Reddit community. The concept is straightforward: it scours relevant Reddit posts and presents recommendations that have received high votes, ensuring that you get insights from a community consensus rather than relying on algorithmic search results.

I have to say currently the website is a bit slow and might be a tad flaky (currently taking around 5 minutes for results). I've cached few searches in advance.

I'm reaching out to the Hacker News community to gather feedback, suggestions, and insights to improve and refine the tool. Your input is invaluable, and any feedback is highly welcomed!
