Show HN: Looria - A product (re)search engine
About 1.5 years ago, I introduced my review aggregator BuyForLife
on Hacker News, where it became the #8 most upvoted Show HN project
of all time[1]. The idea of helping people to make better
purchasing decisions continued to chase me over the last year. Here
are some stats that illustrate how important online reviews are: *
90% check online reviews as part of their online buying journey *
43% visit 5-10 websites to research a product * 75% spend more
than a day doing research before buying a product The top
frustrations with the current process are: * Google full of SEO
spam and Ads * Fake reviews * Fragmented trusted sources *
Inconsistent information across sources Thanks to the recent
advances in NLP (transformers, GPT-3, etc.) it became possible to
solve these problems at scale, so I decided to team up with my co-
founders Johnny and Tavis to build https://Looria.com. We
aggregate and summarize the most trusted product reviews on the web
like Reddit, Youtube, or Consumer Reports. Just like Rotten
Tomatoes provides trustworthy ratings for movies, Looria offers
ratings and reviews for all kinds of products. Our vision is to
make Looria the go-to platform for making purchase decisions.
Looria is still in beta and our data is far from perfect. We're
working hard on improving the data quality, adding better filters,
and scaling to many more categories. [1] https://bestofshowhn.com
