This is great - just a couple UI things bugging me. 1. When clicking "Open" on a product, the user should be able to open that in a separate tab. Currently that's not possible; I'm sure because it's being delivered in a single page (can't check now because you're getting hugged to death by HN).

2. When the server's slow, as it just was, there should be some kind of waiter / loader to immediately show the user that the "Open" click was sent on a product. Otherwise people will keep clicking it (or worse, clicking other products) and there's no indication that it's loading.

3. Once a product is open, it's not clear how to get back from it. I see the "X" in the corner, but doing that seems to take me back to a blank search page, not to my search results. The back button also doesn't take me back to the search results...




Thanks for sharing this! Definitely wasn't expecting this level of traffic so didn't account for some front-end loading experiences. Implementing these now.

For 3, thinking to let the back button work the same as the "x", that way a user can return to where they are in a search result regardless of what they click on.
