I swear they all sleeping and that one guy on call is like "sheeeeet"...
This is a bit of an older video, but it shows the sheet based collection management in the second half of the video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=45TGtUQry6Q

Show HN: A collection manager and marketplace for physical retro games

https://sumthings.com

I’m building sumthings.com, a product-first marketplace and collection manager for all games, with a special focus on retro. You can track your collection, mark wanted items to get notified when sales pop up, and browse today’s listings. Things are still early and changing fast, so I’d love your feedback on what’s useful, what’s missing, and what would make this most valuable for collectors.

Looks amazing. I'm currently using Mantine alot and still super happy with it so far, but will keep this in mind. I just wish somebody would finally build something of similar quality for ReactNative. The existing solutions I'm aware of all fall short in comparison.

Love YouTube, but between the price hikes and being fed nothing but shorts and doom-scroll bait, they’re pushing me to the edge. For the former, it feels like every streaming service (audio or video) is starting pave the way for a new golden age of piracy and personal content collections.

You're not overthinking it. Beep boop
I guess I'd try lovable first for my next venture.

Selling everything to everyone == selling nothing to no one

I've built a lot of projects over the years—some simple, some complex—and I know they provide real value given their stickiness when people actually activate. But despite that, I often struggle to sell them in the first place, especially through inbound channels like landing pages or even my top-ranked Custom GPT for Forms, Workflows & Checklists. When I get someone on a call, it usually...

Yes, also go tracker/fm-based instead of bloating game size with PCM tracks.
I was planning taking on something like this myself before, hence these are notes of what I would go for quiet literally :) Given the amount of projects I already have going on right now, I'd rather see somebody else do it and back them instead.
Getting the chance to talk to Peri soon, but here's my take..

- Backwards compatible C64/Amiga (I'm aware they don't own the Amiga Trademark itself), not PC/Emulation based (FPGA, SOC, Classic/Original Chips) - New capabilities, e.g. faster clockrates, co-processors/accelerators, support for more colors - keep ~240p as internal resolution, with analog i/o outputs + 4k internal upscaler for hdmi output - Introduce new tile-based mode, but keep bitmap/fb based ones - EPROM based cartridges (e.g. no filesystem/sd-like media) but still upgradable using cartridge-bound signed/encrypted updates files (via USB or via system cartridge slot (like Mod Retro/Chromatic does) - Wifi (mostly for multiplayer, maybe a builtin marketplace, not browsing the web!) - Exclusive game titles + license best modern 2d games - Effectively built a 2D powerhouse (think Neo Geo 2.0), in favour over 3d (people can still do that in software if cpu/2d capabilities are strong enough (see PICO-8 examples that do vr racing, cad editor and what not)

To achieve this, prioritize hiring engineers that have the expertise to build this new world over hiring managers or pc-based/x68/modern computing engineers. I'd recommend getting a strong, full-time technical lead like Gideon Zweijtzer, Furrtek, or one of the capable FPGA core developers from Mist/Mister.

Basically don't become another toy/mini console rebirth, but rather becoming the new cool kid on the block.

Awesome stuff! I read the subject and knew immediately the domain/author this must be from :)

Hey HN,

We’ve been building these audible summary cards to help you catch up faster and without needing to open ten different apps. You know, after being asleep, in a meeting, or both :)

Would love any feedback to see if this is worth pursuing further!

Cheers, Sascha Founder @ Questmate

I know a reload does fix it, that's not my point :)
Re:I've created a todo app which allows you to do things on Tuesday July 09, 2024 @07:29AM (#40914826)
You can connect your Philips Hue, Tesla, door access system, alarm system, Shopify, Notion, Jira or your own API, which will allow you and others to DO things right from your recurring to-dos/routines. Open doors, close tickets, add products to Shopify... whatever it takes to get the thing done!
