Title: IC & feedback - Quick value lookup on r/mechmarket and setup item watchers.
Post by: patty-cak3 on Sun, 15 September 2024, 12:49:01
Hey folks, long time user but rarely post/comment so please let me know if I'm breaking any rules by posting this. I just wanted to share a project I've been working on and really hoping to get some feedback :).

Test prototype link: themechmarket.xyz (http://themechmarket.xyz)

Lookup any item listed for sale on r/mechmarket and it'll show you its average listing price (current market value). The bot that reads the subreddit runs continuously, so the data is always up-to-date - save processing time. You can also setup market watchers to get notified whenever a specific item is listed on r/mechmarket!

Main use cases:
* Quickly find out the market value for an item (value tracking)
* Quick access to r/mm posts related to an item
* Need a notifier for when an item is listed

Try it yourself by searching up an item that was recently posted to sell on the subreddit - it should pop up on the website.

The functionality is mostly there, but the website is still in prototype land and am hoping to get some feedback. It’s my first time sharing something to a wide community so I’m a bit nervous to share but also really excited. Hope you guys like it and find some use out of it :)

Love this tool

Only issue I've run into with the limited amount I've used it is the handling of cents, but I saw you were already aware of this. Definitely bookmarked it so I can reference it again after it's collected some more data

This is pretty cool. I was into watch collecting for a bit and there was a similar tool for tracking the used watch market that was handy.
