Show HN: I built a comprehensive storage device price comparison platform
I made BestDiskPrices after 2 years of coding - a platform that helps users find the best deals on storage devices (HDDs, SSDs, NAS, external drives, SD cards, USB drives) by comparing prices across multiple retailers in real-time.
The site features:
- Real-time price comparison from eBay and AliExpress using their official APIs
- 15+ specialized calculators (RAID, TCO, storage capacity, data migration, etc.)
- Multi-language support (EN, FR, DE, ES, IT)
- Performance metrics and price-per-GB analysis
- Daily price statistics and trends
- Mobile-responsive design with HTMX for dynamic updates
I built this because I was tired of manually comparing storage prices across different sites when building my home server. The calculators help users make informed decisions about storage solutions.
Tech stack: Django, PostgreSQL, HTMX, Tailwind CSS, Celery for background tasks.
Would love feedback on the UI/UX and any additional features you'd like to see!
