Apply HN: Discovery List – Product Hunt for products you can actually buy
Problem: We're targeting people with a spare $100 to spend and want to buy something unique and exciting. Online retailers like Amazon only work well when you know what you're looking for. Discovering new products by trawling through product blogs and browsing Twitter feeds is inefficient since most of them cover the same products as each other.
Discovery List: provides 3 lists of user-submitted products (under $100, over $100, pre-orders) upvoted by other users. Each product has a price, description and buy link. Users can save products to a wishlist to find them later. Eventually, we want Discovery List to be a detailed directory of everything buyable on the internet.
Making Money: We make money when people buy products from our affiliate partners.
About Us: We're two brothers who live in Melbourne, Australia. I'm an actuary who codes and my brother is a software engineer with a PhD.
