I spend a lot of time researching spinners before buying a new one. Spin time is the most important thing, since it feels great if the spinner keeps going forever after a hard flick. But I also look for specific colors, body materials and how much noise the spinner makes. Amazon doesn't make research easy, since the information is all over the place and typically hard to find.
So I decided to make this process easier. Me and my friend Martin went through the top 100 spinners on Amazon and put the information about color, shape, lights, spin time, noise, price and body material in a postgres database. I built a Django website on top of the database where you can filter the top spinners on Amazon using your preferred criteria.
I find it extremely useful to be able to filter based on my preferences and quickly see the top matching spinners. I hope some others might benefit from it too.
The website is at the moment a work in progress. So any constructive feedback is most welcome. I will also try my best to respond to any questions, if you have any.
Not one of the converts.
