Music Software Deals

A couple of updates/changes/improvements: 1. Show button on every deal to show the store its available at (eg. JRR, T&S, PluginBoutique etc.) - also showing multiple buttons with price in each if its available in multiple stores 2. Added "store" column when viewing list view. So you can sort by store 3. Added pluginfox.co store 4. Added option to tick/untick manufacturers in dropdown list so you can show/hide particular companies (for example you might not want to see Soundspot products which are always 99% off) We've also made a lot of improvement behind the scenes to block URLs for hardware deals if they're scraped, autocorrect/merge deals if the name is different across multiple stores (eg. "Kilohearts Distortion Plug-in", "Kilohearts Distortion Plugin" and "Distortion Plugin" could all be merged into "Distortion Snap-in" by Kiloheartz". There are still a few bugs to be resoolved and we haven't correctly added all of the tagging to the products yet but this will come later. Next we're working on scraping more websites and beginning to put the price tracking tool together

Yes we'll include historical pricing in chart format

Yes we'll be adding price notifications when we add the price tracking so you'll be able to be notified when it drops below a certain level

Yep the next feature is unchecking developers in the filtering. We will also have an email alert for when a product hits a certain price too eventually (phase 3)

Cool looking forward to seeing it!

I think this might be first time someone has attempted to fully automate this. Obviously its not super easy - creating the scrapers isn't too hard, but the tough part is managing the structure of the information we receive to ensure its uniform from all sources so that it can be correctly displayed. That's the part we're working on right now to ensure that as we add a new source, we have the right rules in place to restructure the title, apply the right manufacturer (some people use "Harrison" whereas others use "Harrison Consoles" for example) etc. All of this is totally do-able, it just takes some time in the beginning to get setup properly

Thanks for posting about the site! Its obviously very early in the progress stage right now but I hope to make a lot of progress over the next 4-6 weeks
