If you like to do research before buying things, this tool can save you hours of time and energy doing lots of web searches and scrolling through comments and reviews.

Instead, it finds the best parts of forum discussions where people with experience with the product you're considering give pretty honest opinions. If it can't find anything in forums, it looks in reddit as well. I've been amazed at how well it works--curious what others think!

Mixing forums and reddit while trying to make decisions....this looks awesome!
I'm tired of fake reviews. I'm tired of reviews that just sound like propaganda. I hope Primary might be one small win for the internet, and make reviews trustworthy again!
