Show HN: Tool to find the right hub or dock for your specific setup

1 点作者 city1712 个月前
Hi HN, I had some issues finding the right USB-C hub for my specific setup and came up with this simple tool to make finding a hub or dock a little easier.<p>You answer a few questions and get a list of potential hubs and docks that fit your setup.<p>I&#x27;ve created two &#x27;paths&#x27;:<p>- one for non-tech-savvy people where you just select the types of devices you have<p>- and another version where you can select the exact version of each port (e.g. HDMI 2.0, DP 1.4) you&#x27;re looking for, which is probably most fitting for this sub<p>You can switch between the two paths in the first question (<i>how much do you know</i>). You can also just jump straight to the results page to use classic filters to narrow down your selection.<p>I&#x27;ve tried to cover most types of ports, but there is definitely scope to make things more fine-tuned. For example it might be nice to have a filter for specific minimum resolutions and refresh rates (like 4k@120Hz), or specific performance under MacOS and Windows which is often different. I&#x27;ll also add a comparison feature on the results page soon.<p>I was curious what people think about the tool, any feedback would be much appreciated!

I already have a few improvements in mind:<p>- Comparison feature on the results page (to see 2-3 products side by side)<p>- &#x27;Ranked&#x27; filter, so selecting USB 2.0 will also show USB 3.0 hubs since they are backwards compatible (there are some specific cases where this doesn&#x27;t hold and you might want exactly a USB 2.0 port, but that&#x27;s quite rare).<p>- Additional sources for pricing data besides Amazon<p>Curious to hear which of these would you find the most helpful!
