Good news — the camera feature search and all data is saved

Fantastic effort. I appreciate that you've decided to make all the data open-source. And the filter options are great!

I do have a few suggestions for improving the user experience:

1. Let the visitor set the default sorting method. Right now it's set to Shuffle but I would personally prefer it to always sort by Newest.
2. Instead of a grid with images, offer the option to show the items in a list.
3. Dark theme? :)

Also, what would really be cool is a comparison feature, where you can select multiple cameras and compare detailed specs side by side.

Just my 2 cents. Excellent website already though!

Nothing but a mother’s love is free.

I’m willing to pay for this revival, if asked.

How will this new site finance itself?

As rotten as it sounds, all the data on the DPR website, and especially the review data is copyrighted by Amazon. Harvesting it and hosting it on another server without permission from Amazon, may be seen as a copyright violation. Amazon is a bit of a bully when it comes to these things. I think they filed over 30 thousand lawsuits in 2022 against people violating their copyright and other issues regarding their site.

I started a thread over on DPR saying that the deleting of all this historical data by Amazon is could equated to the burning of a historical library. I got moderated for saying this and my account is limited at the moment. Who cares if the site is going away, so it was probably some idiot moderator flexing his wings for the last time, but my point is, Amazon is not liking all the talk about them deleting the data and people's efforts to take it off-site to preserve it.

Do they "pin" posts here (or make them a "sticky") so it can easily be found later? If so, I think this post should be so done

Thankyou everyone for making this new site happen.
cheers mick

Oops, missed the updates here. Not sure if I'm not getting the email notifications of new replies..

All noted down and good suggestions! Thank you.

Just as DPR did.. affiliate links is probably the easiest way. But we'll think of more ways. Meeting up with Daniel tomorrow to talk through the longer-term plan!
