Subject: Built a self-hosted Woot search tool - any interest?

1

Hey folks,

With woot natively not having a bult in search, I built a Spring Boot app that syncs deals from the Woot API and lets you search/filter them. It’s self-hosted (runs as a single JAR with embedded databases) and can be dockerized if that’s your thing.

It pulls from all the category feeds, lets you search by keywords, and filter by brand, category, gender, price, etc. Has a basic web interface and updates automatically on a schedule.

Would anyone be interested in this? If there’s interest I can throw it up on GitHub.

Not affiliated with Woot/Amazon, just a personal project.

Similiar but you can locally host it in docker.

I don’t think Dave will want Woot searching his fancy pants.

Sounds like it syncs and inserts local SQLite records that are then queryable? Pretty elegant. If I had time to tinker with stuff, I’d try it out. If I run it in a container, is there much setup involved?

You’re right. I save my Dockers for going out to super fancy places.
