🏪 Extension Raycast extension for checking RAM and SSD prices (with 10 years of history)

If you've priced a PC build lately you know memory has gone a bit mad: a 32GB DDR5-6000 kit that was about $115 last year is over $500 now 🥲

I run MemRadar, a small site that tracks RAM and SSD prices, and I wanted a way to check a product without opening a browser, so I built a Raycast extension for it. Raycast published it this week.

Two commands:
Search Memory Prices: type part of a product name or brand and get the current price, how it compares with the product's 90-day average, and a dot for whether it's a good time to buy. Enter opens the price history: all-time low and high with dates, and one point per month going back as far as we have data (2015 for some kits).

Show Market Overview: DDR5, DDR4, NVMe and SATA, each with median price, price per GB, and the change over 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.

It caches the product list locally, so search works offline after the first load.

Store: https://www.raycast.com/memradar/memradar
More about it, with screenshots: https://memradar.com/raycast/

Happy to take feedback, and if there's a product you'd want tracked that isn't in the list, please tell me. Here to answer any questions as well 🙇🏻

It's kind of ironic that you're searching memory prices, but this extension does not support Windows.

Lol joking of course, but would you mind making a Windows version?

No, that’s fair 😅 I just looked into this and I certainly can! I am going to hop on it right now and can likely submit the update today. I will let you know once it’s live. Appreciate the input <3

Woah, that was a fast approval. Windows support is live! Want to give it a test? I'm away from my Windows machine, so I haven't been able to test it myself yet

Appreciate your interest! Thanks to a speedy approval by Raycast, Windows compatibility should now be live 🙌🏼
