Show HN: PriceHound.app – Price tracking for $1/mo instead of selling your data

I like Hammermade shirts but not the price, especially since they go on sale for 50% off on occasion. I also don t like being a product, pop up ads that feel like a minefield, and being directed instead of receiving a service. So I made a simple notification app that the I can drop a product url into, have it find the price, and let me know when it drops or reaches a number I want to pay. If the retailer requires a premium scraping service, the app escalates to that level. The user can opt in or out of paying for that from a prepaid bank of money. They know how much the premium service will cost and how long they can watch the price for a given amount. I tried to keep it very simple and user focused. I will probably add SNS to the email notification, but only once users start asking. It s a free 7 day trial, should be really easy to sign up (I would appreciate feedback on the sign up process), and I think it s pretty sweet. Saved my wife a few bucks on geraniums from Gertens and on some loose leaf tea.I will never put ads on it or sell user data.Let me know what you would do differently, Thanks!Brian
