Show HN: A Tool for Gathering Genuine Product Reviews from Reddit and YouTube

I wanted to share a side project I've been working on:

http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist

A tool that gathers genuine feedback on any product by analyzing discussions from Reddit and YouTube. It provides in-depth analysis results, please check examples below:

- Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses: http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist?u=Ray-Ban%20Meta%20Sma...

- Black Myth: Wukong: http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist?u=Black%20Myth:%20Wuko...

- Toyota GR86: http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist?u=Toyota%20GR86&f=y

- Llama 3.1: http://webpulse.today/review-waitlist?u=Llama%203.1&f=y

In today's world, it can be tough to find trustworthy reviews. Personally, I find myself relying more on Reddit and YouTube for authentic opinions, especially since search engines like Google are often cluttered with click-driven results and sensational headlines.

With that in mind, I built this tool to make it easier to access the kind of feedback I trust the most. It's still in beta, so please bear with me if it’s a bit slow or unstable. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or feedback you might have—your input will help me improve it.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

    I checked for my current phone Redmi note 12 pro (which I bought 1 year ago), and your website review seems at par with what I researched at that time on reddit and youtube.

    It seems your tool is working

    I will try to use it more and share more feedback

    Classic hacker. Sophisticated use of AI, but minor oversight with spelling: “genuine insights from real users for a clearerm, more honest perspective.”

    An option to side-by-side comparison could be cool
