This is a fun-weekend project I built during the last days. What I like about such small projects is the possibility to try out new technologies or tools (and maybe use them in bigger projects). For this one I am trying out honeybadger to track backend and frontend errors.

It still has a few shortcomings I want to tackle in the next few days:

* The biggest one is to handle npm-packages that are also shipping browser-bundles

* Better design of the website

* Add a queue to process the analysing requests


Thanks so much people, I really appreciate all your feedback. I read all comments, already answered to some them. I will try to respond to every one, but can't promise that.

I noted down all the feedback and ideas for improvement and will tackle those points:

* better filters (video resolution, displayPort, card readers, power delivery) and sorting by price, "no-feature" search

* Better and cleaner design

* Moar data: definitely Thunderbolt 3 hubs and usb-c hubs of higher quality (anker?)

* implement reviewmeta to check the reviews of each product

* better quality of product data/prices and so on

Are you talking about adding hubs that aren't available on Amazon? When I started to use my 13" mbp as a desktop station I was surprised how hard it was to find a decent hub, and I couldn't find anything on Amazon that worked. I tried several hubs that seemed to work, but they interfered with wifi.

I ended up with a CalDigit TS3 Plus, and it's been really good so far. I would not have found that on a site that only reviews Amazon products, but I would have really appreciated an actual recommendation rather than just a large set of products to compare.


Will definitely add filter by video support!


Power Delivery is already implemented, but you have to choose that the hub has to have at least one usb-c port. It it possible to have power delivery without having an usb-c(likw) port? Thunderbolt 3 support is on my todo list:)


Thanks for the hint! Will add them:)


Interesting thought. Not sure if I can gather cord lengths of all the hubs.. Will note it down for later:)


I think it would be sufficient to just indicate if it has a long cable or not. You can tell from the pictures generally.


Is already on my todo list:)


My plan is to add more usb hubs (usb-3, thunderbolt), so stay tuned ;) Card reader filter will also be implemented very soon:)

I am no expert on usb hubs, but filtering for pass through power is actually possible: You have to specify at least 1 for usb-c port, then you can select the "Power Delivery" checkbox. Is power delivery the same as pass through power? and it is it possible to have that without having a usb-c port?


Is already on my todo list. It was easier to implement the simple "has feature", instead of doing a full blown search interface :D


haven't heard of them, yet. will check it out :) maybe a combination of fakespot and reviewmeta?
