Primary is a very pleasant to use extension that gives you the oportunity to get real user reviews from foruns and reddit users on specific music gear that you're planning to buy. From my perspective it helped a lot because frequently the gear isn't available to be tested in person, and having the oportunity to read these reviews is the next best thing after testing them for yourself, on my opinion. That said, of course you could just do your research manually, but in my experience using Primary saved me a lot of time and led me straight to useful data about what I was planning to buy, saving me some hours of googling and forum/reddit searching. In the end I already got a new guitar with Primary's help, and I'm very happy with it!

@liordino Wow, what a great story. Helping people make the best decision for themselves while saving time was a big part of our brainstorming at the beginning of this product. It's fun to see that realized!

@liordino It's great to hear this has helped you acquire a new guitar! As a software developer on Primary and also a bass player and sound engineer, we have seen and have been amazed at how much helpful and valuable discussions about music gear is out there, and I'm so happy we could help pass that on to you :)

@ahtimsir yeah, there's a lot of discussions online, and my personal opinion is that if one day we suffered for the lack of information, now we suffer for information overload, and not all information is good, so it's really nice to have something to help curate these things faster.

I was looking for some gear for my bass and I was really surprised to find a lot of reviews out there. Usually, if there's no Amazon review, I don't have much to go on other than some friends who play too. Anyway, I picked up a nice amp through some of those recs.

@groqtheconq This is super useful feedback! I've been surprised by how many people are finding Primary useful for products that don't have reviews (more common than I thought in niche areas).

@groqtheconq It's great to hear this has helped you purchase a new amp! While I'm a software developer on Primary, I'm also a bass player and sound engineer whom others come to for recommendations for music gear, so I understand how we musicians like to draw on the community to get gear. I'm so glad Primary is able to help you connect to that community, and I hope you enjoy your new amp!

Great idea! Could it work for apps also? Like I am checking out, say, various SaaS solutions and it would load Reddit comments about it?

@marek_dudas SaaS solutions is an interesting use case. Our long-term vision is that it would work for anything that is subjective, and that is discussed in communities.

Primary is a very useful tool for ‘gearheads’ and folks researching musical equipment. Aside from doing the regular spec research and due diligence Primary enables you to see relevant opinions and insights through other outlets - i.e forums, and specific sites about gear. It’s unobtrusive, a snap to install and use - and most importantly - relevant and effective information. It gives the potential buyer decision points in purchasing a product. It’s a really good and effective tool.

This is exciting. My love of forums and online shopping come together! Real reviews that are useful - that's a flashback to 2010!

Great product made by a great team. Primary sifts through forums and reddit for the best information about music gear. It really goes beyond star reviews I can't wait to see this expanded to other categories.

@_gh_ Hang tight, we're expanding our list of supported categories daily. It's a tricky problem because each category/interest presents a new challenge. We're constantly iterating to try and learn how users discuss different types of products.
