Great to see they support and still use Perl. Geizhals is a very usable and functional product and price comparison page. Looks a little bit old, but that is exactly what I like. Geizhals is associated with the Heise Verlag, that is what I do not like so much, because there was a steady decline in quality in the recent years.

Afaik, Heise Verlag is the owner of Geizhals

Haters will say a major factor in still using Perl is the difficulty to replace up to 25+ years old Perl code written at startup pace AND the difficulty to teach old Perl devs a new language.

UI-wise it reminds me of Craigslist.

[Aldipower]

Yes, I think this is a good thing. :-)

[Asmod4n]

They had some very recent UI overhauls, it looks more friendly now.

More friendly, less usable

Yeah I'm hugely frustrated by their recent updates that hide / obfuscate the filters, which is basically the main way you want to use the site. I'm pretty sure it's yet another casualty of optimising for phone normies :(

[sjn]

I agree! The filters made be go to the site, and I don't even live in any of the markets they serve! (Though I do visit, and sometimes buy tings based on what I've found through the site).

i just went back to check (i've already been there today) and there's an option "always show filters" in the upper right corner.

[pixelpoet]

Good to know, thanks. I was looking for something like that but couldn't find it last time, maybe it's new?

Still makes about as much sense to me as Google adding a "always show search box" option that defaults to off :D

Hm, I only miss one thing, sorting by price with shipping cost. Can’t see anything else that was removed, just changed.

Not sure if that's missing on the international site, but if you select "inkl. Versand" in the filter box then the sort includes shipping.

[jagermo]

still the best filters, i think. You can filter stuff so deeply, its crazy.
