The Gist

Before wandering off to some unknown site, itâs nice to have some idea of what to expect when you get there. The following screencasts illustrate a few of the more notable features of Woot+.
Real-time Search
Browse by Department / Category
Installing the application (iOS)
How It Works
When you first visit the Shop page, a compact representation of the Woot product catalog is downloaded and stored in a local database. (Compressed, this data weighs in at around 350KB to 400KB.) For the next ten minutes, any subsequent visits to the Shop page will use this locally stored data. After ten or more minutes have passed, your next visit to the Shop page will download a fresh copy of the catalog.
As you search, sort, or filter by category, price, etc. the address bar is updated to reflect your choices, which in turn triggers a new query to the local database. The near-instantaneous response may be attributed to the fact that there is a relatively small number of products for sale at a given time â usually somewhere between 2,500 and 4,000.
The search feature is as simplistic as it could possibly be, comparing a single search term to the characters in each productâs title. If that exact search exists within the title, the product is shown.
The wishlist is a simply a user-managed set of product IDs which the catalog may then be filtered upon using the âOn Wishlistâ checkbox.
Note that Woot+ chooses not to show products that are already sold out. If it appears on Woot+, itâs still up for grabs!
Directorâs Cut
Woot+ delivers an exceptional user experience by focusing its attention on performance and simplicity. The less time people are made to spend jumping from page to page to see whatâs for sale, the more likely they are to come across a bargain thatâs too sweet to pass up.
I am a long-time fan of Woot, and to this day itâs normally the first place I look when Iâm in need of something new. Not always, but often Iâll stumble upon the thing that Iâm after and pick it up at a bargain price. In December 2022, while in the United States visiting friends, I was in search of a lightly used iPhone 11 so naturally I looked on Woot. To my surprise I discovered that woot.com doesnât have a search feature! It boggles the mind considering that Woot is an Amazon property and presumably has an army of tech-savvy folks at their disposal. I canât help wondering if itâs somehow by design; maybe they actually INTEND for people to leaf through the bargain bin and impulse-buy a bunch of junk they didnât realize they needed.

As with most every independent software project, Woot+ was born out of one developerâs irresistible desire to improve upon an existing system that in their opinion was unacceptably lacking. It also seemed a great opportunity to explore some new technologies and bolster my portfolio. What began as a hobby project has since evolved into an application I consider worthy of release to the wider internet community. Please enjoy!
P.S.
The best possible way for you to support this project is to spread the word. The more it is used and the more feedback (good or bad) it receives, the better it will become. If you are a fan of Woot+, please let me know! Iâd love to hear any and all suggestions on how to make the app even more stellar.
Itâs an honor to receive such genuine support.
