Cheapass.in

Founder

Jun 2014 – Sep 2017 · 3 yrs 3 mos

I independently build and manage cheapass.in. The product is being actively used by over 7500 users and has sent over half a million price drop alerts. The numbers grow every single day!
Cheapass.in is a no-nonsense price tracker which works for over all major e-commerce websites in India. The project shot up to #2 on Hacker News and stayed at that spot for over 4 hours. I built Cheapass over a weekend after I struggled buying iPhone due to price fluctuations on Flipkart.
I spoke about it at JSFoo Conference 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH0nVlJfGKA
