Show HN: Reviving my $15,000 browser arcade with Astra

https://eggverse.co/

Back in 2021, I put roughly $15,000 into a project called Anbu. The original idea was a decentralized cloud gaming platform, but I scaled it down to what I could afford with no cofounders... a browser arcade where people could play games with friends.I designed the platform myself in Figma, hand-drew the original art and logos, and commissioned development, pixel art, music, sound effects and...

Re:You're probably overpaying for everything you buy online on Thursday March 19, 2026 @06:53PM (#47447537)
You’re probably overpaying for everything you buy online. Not because you’re careless, but because it’s impossible to check every site.

The same product can vary 10–30% across retailers.

The internet made shopping convenient. It never made it optimal.

That’s why I built Rectangle. An AI shopping agent and researcher for tech & electronics: - Ask anything about a product. - Compare across hundreds of retailers. - Add everything to one cart and check out once. - Automatically track your warranties

No tab hopping. No guesswork. No multiple carts. No multiple checkouts.

I'd love for you to try it out for funzies or try buying a couple things you want, would love some feedback.

Re:Consumer Electronics AI-Shopping Agent on Monday March 02, 2026 @10:15PM (#47227540)
When was the last time you walked into Best Buy, had a real question, and immediately found someone who could help you make the right decision?

Exactly...

Shopping for tech today usually means standing in the aisle researching on your phone, opening 12 tabs, reading endless reviews, maybe going home, watching comparison videos, and still wondering if you missed something or overpaid. So I built Rectangle.

Rectangle is an AI shopping agent for consumer electronics. It compares prices across multiple retailers, recommends hardware based on your actual needs, answers compatibility questions, and most powerfully lets you check out from multiple retailers in just ONE cart.

No guessing. No tab hopping. No multiple checkouts. No endless review reading. Just clarity before you buy.

Everything in one cart, and one checkout.

If you are planning to purchase tech soon, I would genuinely value your feedback. If you just want to play around with it, its free to use. I am building this in public and refining it based on real users. You can contact me directly for any questions/concerns.
