Show HN: I just released a simple Ruby gem for searching Amazon

After searching for an easy to use gem for searching / looking up products on Amazon, the best solutions I found were Peddler [1] and Vacuum [2]. After looking into these gems, I found that both a) lacked documentation, and b) were not simple to use. In fact, they both seemed more like a starting point for simply making raw requests and retrieving raw responses.

Searching further, I was not able to uncover anything else even remotely usable for searching Amazon. This prompted me to start building my own solution.

I think my gem offers a much cleaner implementation, a friendly DSL, and although I have some work ahead of me to clean it up, is generally easier for the end user to search and look up products on Amazon.

I'd love feedback, and I'm definitely open to contributions from others. Thanks for looking!
