While reading random posts here I realised that there is a slew of people selling stuff on Amazon, relying on customer product reviews as their main source of feedback.<p>As Amazon does very little to make searching through these reviews friendly I decided to build something to facilitate getting useful info out of product review data.<p>There is a short video on the [landing page](<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;research.oneiros.cc" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;research.oneiros.cc</a>) you can watch in case below is TL:DR.<p>The basic idea is that you <i>subscribe</i> to products , the app scrapes reviews from Amazon (.com and .co.uk ATM). The user than has the ability to search through the reviews as well as get some basic breakdowns of words and phrases people use as part of positive or negative reviews (courtesy of a basic lexical analysis).<p>As this is a sort of `alpha` signup is of course free and fast (<i>no email verification ;)</i>), and due to my puny infra each user is limited to five products.<p>Anyway all feedback is welcome and extremely appreciated.
