Hey fellow Sysadmins, nerds and geeks,
A few days back I shared my disk price tracker that I built out of frustration with existing tools (managing 1PB+ will do that to you). The feedback here was incredibly helpful, so I wanted to circle back with an update.
Based on your suggestions, I've been refining the web tool and just launched an iOS app. The mobile experience felt necessary since I'm often checking prices while out and about—figured others might be in the same boat.
What's improved since last time:
- Better deal detection algorithms
- A little better ui for web.
- Mobile-first design with the new iOS app
- iOS version has currency conversion ability
Still working on:
- Android version (coming later this year - sorry)
- Adding more retailers beyond Amazon/eBay - This is a BIG wish for people.
- Better disk detection - don't want to list stuff like enclosures and such - can still be better.
- better filtering and search functions.
In the future i want:
- Way better country / region / source selection
- More mobile features (notifications?)
- Maybe price history - to see if something is actually a good deal compared to normally.
I'm curious—for those who tried it before, does the mobile app change how you'd actually use something like this? And for newcomers, what's your current process for finding good disk deals?
Always appreciate the honest feedback from this community. You can check out the updates at the same link, and the iOS app is live on the App Store now.
I will try to spend time making it better from user feedback, i have some holiday lined up and hope to get back after to work on the android version.
Thanks for your time.
