Show HN: Compare Price for HDD, SSD, NAS and More (bestdiskprices.com)
1 points by toutoulliou 527 days ago
Hey everyone! My name is Toutoulliou, and I’m a beginner developer passionate about building websites. To practice and improve my skills, I decided to take on a real-world project: a price comparison tool for tech products like SSDs, HDDs, NAS devices, Micro SD cards, USB drives, and more. I used Django for the backend, TailwindCSS and Flowbite for the design, and even managed the deployment myself using Docker. It was a real challenge, but so rewarding!

My website pulls data from eBay and AliExpress APIs to bring you the best deals on the market. And here’s some exciting news: integration with Amazon is in the works! The goal? To help you find the most competitive prices in just a few clicks, whether you’re looking for a high-performance SSD, a high-capacity HDD, or a Micro SD card for your camera.

In addition to the price comparison tool, I’ve added a RAID calculator to help you determine the ideal configuration based on your storage and data security needs. This is just the first step toward a suite of practical tools that I plan to expand over time.

This website is first and foremost a learning journey for me. Every line of code, every feature added is a new step in my development path. If you have suggestions or ideas for tools to integrate, feel free to share them with me!

Let me know what you think!
