Show HN: Update UK Butchers Meat Price Tracker

https://meat.offer-spider.com
1•wolfer•2h ago
Hey all!

Following up on a previous post (had a bit of a hug of death) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46255827

Have made a lot of improvements to make it actually useful and move to a stable domain (desktop still best, but it at least works now on mobile):

Butcher list - Lots more butchers added to the scraper.

Browse by Cut - This is the big one. Instead of scrolling through 1000+ individual products, you can now browse by standardised cut (Ribeye, Brisket, Lamb Leg, etc). I've mapped products from a selection of popular butchers to ~154 canonical cuts. Click a cut and see every matching product across all sites, sorted by price/kg. Looking to improve taxonomy over time with ongoing missed matches/remaps where the automation was wrong.

90-day price ratings - I've been collecting price data for a while now, so the site can tell you if a product is at its lowest price in 90 days () or within 5% of that low (). Handy for spotting whether a "sale" is actually a good deal.

Fresh vs Frozen indicators - Shows up on both the cut list and product detail pages. Filter by storage type if you only want one or the other.

Table layout - Ditched the card grid for a proper table. Much easier to scan prices when everything's lined up in columns. Sortable by name, protein, type, price, number of options, or number of sites stocking it.

Full row click - Click anywhere on the row, not just the tiny product name link. Small thing but it was annoying me.

Looking for as much feedback as I can get, please share!

Also the price per kg is an ongoing area of improvement, lots of misleading data on various sites, so it's a mixture of heuristics + exceptions + improvements to keep that on point across all the sites in a generalised way.
