Thanks a lot for taking the time to report these points:

* I obviously cannot argue with you on the UI, it really needs some serious overhaul. I've been struggling because the images all come from Amazon listings and have no standard "graphical identity" so it always ends up looking like a giant bazaar of random items. The blowout tile was a test to make things pop but I agree it's not good.

* Noted on the zoom looking awful I'll change that too :-)

* Yeah every once in a while some items will register the wrong price so you get these funky percentages. For example I saw a pc registering at $1 for the average price so the computer discount is nonsense. The filters and sorting make those outliers raise to the surface. This should be easy to fix though with an automation to detect incoherent values and recapture prices. The number of occurrences seems to be low overall (i.e. 50ish out of 120k) but it looks amateurish if you sort on price/discount

Thanks again for the feedback it's very useful!
