It is really hard to do with, even API requires department for extra features. What about dividing screen with iframes and search for several(at most 4) categories.
Definitely good idea, currently I redirect to Amazon and it is not easy with even with Amazon Advertising API because when you request amazon only turns 10 products and for another 10 you need a new request. You need to request lots of pages to calculate it and Amazon has request limits.
Thank you for feedbacks! I have changed the tour to show how much it will last when it first show up. Labels are back. I first tried to implement search by Amazon Advertising API but it has lack of some features Amazon have so I changed my mind. I will think iframe option as you suggested. Thank you.
Yes, I target power users but even power users needs introduction I think. You can end the anytime by clicking End Tour button. It won't show up again unless you clear your browser cache.
Thank you for feedback.
* You are right interface provide too much. My aim is not only provide deals. I mostly use it myself for books search. For technical books I always search for English books which are published in recent years (2 years) I saved my search parameters so I don't enter again again these. Sometimes I want to sort products by most reviews but this sort is absent in most departments.
* Hidden keywords are not much fancy I agree. Sometimes I use it to find more results like wrote a nonsense word with minus "-dgeygdeuydgede" Amazon gives more results.
* It against of Amazon terms of service.
I am the author of jeviz.com. Currently it is only for US locale. Immediate benefits are you have more options for search sorts. For example most choose a department and select "Most review" sort option to sort by number of reviews which is not visible in Amazon.com site. When you login you can save your search parameters and synch your mobile, desktop search parameters. There are about 50,000 categories in Amazon you can do full text search for categories. There is advanced book search more accessible than Amazon advanced book search. Please tell me what are the features you want more.
He is a man who have a heart that bigger than his fists. “Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.”
