Show HN: Amazon-like product recommendation engine to power open-source eComm
17 by foklepoint | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN! I wanted to share our product search and recommendation engine that we’ve built for our eCommerce api startup - Rye. For context, Rye lets people query and dropship products from almost any Shopify and Amazon store. One feature we wanted to have as part of our developer experience was a way for them to search and discover specific products to query. We’ve put together a demo marketplace to showcase the engine. Check it out here: https://search.rye.com/ Here’s a blog that outlines how we built it and how you can to: https://ift.tt/7b6mwYx... If you’d like to build on it, we’re also down to open source it for folks that want access.

Show HN: Unclutter – Reader mode, but better
13 by phgn | 9 comments on Hacker News. Hey everyone! In the last months I've been working on Unclutter, a modern reader mode browser extension. In contrast to all existing approaches, it unclutters articles by modifying their CSS instead of extracting the text content. This results in a more visually pleasing result that reuses the original article style. The idea is to remove friction so you use the reader mode more often. There are a few more features around saving articles automatically and taking highlights -- more details are on the website. The extension has about 400 active weekly users right now, mostly from organic web store traffic. Monetisation has proven to be hard and for freemium there would need to be much higher numbers anyways. Do you think I should keep working on the project?

Ask HN: How relevant is cross-browser testing anymore?
13 by sachinjain | 13 comments on Hacker News. Given that most of the new companies adopt modern frameworks like React, Angular, Vue which are quite stable across browsers unlike jQuery, Backbone days when the same code worked in Chrome but not Firefox for various reasons. Just wanted to pick your brains on what do you think how relevant is cross-browser testing. Do we really need to test our code on 50ish Chrome versions, 25is Firefox versions and so on.
