It’s primarily Gatsby (React SSR) with GraphQL and MUI

Thanks! :) Adding other countries is on our roadmap, I’ll make share Australia/NZ are on there.
The seasons there are generally the same, right? Climate-wise, I mean. That’s a big factor as to when things go on sale.

Yes, this is absolutely the plan, thanks! I needed to start somewhere to figure out what works; while it’s not 100% accurate [yet], it’s still a useful tool.
I’m glad I’m able to present it to people like yourself early who can help me quantify how important complete accuracy is vs other features.
In addition to working towards that, do you think a page explaining our current data-gathering practices would be useful at this point? The information on the site is still data-driven; the data is just being gathered and aggregated manually vs. directly feeding data sets in.

Good call! We have Amazon monetized right now but that’s it. Hard to get the others until you show significant traffic sometimes. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I’ll have it only appear once per session.
Housing data and best times are generally monthly and in this case “best” can be split by both “best price” and “best inventory”. This is why that one appears so often.
I’ll figure out a way to improve that distinction and provide some info on those that seem to appear a lot.

Thanks! I’m a frontend developer now primarily but my passion has always been design.

This is a fun project I've been working on for the past year or so. I designed and coded the whole thing.
There's a lot more I want to add to it (like tracking specific products, ranking each "sale period" to find the absolute best time to buy, etc.)
Anyways, I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas! Thanks :)
