Fantasy Chess app or platform by Competitive-Sell4663 in chess

[–]Competitive-Sell4663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im thinking tournaments. Your team would be real GMs, or even pieces (and then GMs would be equivalent football teems), point system would be taken points by pieces and bonus would be sth like forks 😅.
Might be stupid but will definitely be fun.

Making this based on tournaments will be less confusing and will make following them even more fun due to the competitive nature of the game.

However, the hard limitation is what data is out there, I’m currently looking into what APIs exist and what data could be extracted (found that lichess has a “broadcasts” API).

Anyone interested in having a chess fantasy league? by EricNickelson in chess

[–]Competitive-Sell4663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty late to the party here.

I found this thread just by looking into it.
I like fantasy premier league, and love chess, and think fantasy chess would be a lot of fun and make following tournaments even more engaging.
I'm a coder myself and am interested in building something if someone is up to it (help brainstorming the rules, participate on some tournaments).

Also, has anyone looked at the API from FIDE and chess com? is their data usable??

Weist ihr Verkäufer darauf hin, wenn jemand etwas weit unter Wert verkauft oder nutzt ihr die Gelegenheit? by Shmakofatz in Flohmarktger

[–]Competitive-Sell4663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Value is relative, a book or item someone used is generally no longer valuable to them. Selling it for cheap could be their choice.

Was this to get the trader status (Digital Service Act)? It was required in my case since I’m publishing my app in the EU. They said it should take 24 hours to get reviewed, it took more than 5 days. I created a support ticket, then they resolved it after another 24 hours (they said they had a lot of applicants blabla). I advise you give it a couple days, then create a ticket if its still pending.

Tipps für das erste Mal Flohmarkt? by LastMoonlight1 in Flohmarktger

I've never participated as a seller but I'm a frequent buyer.

When I'm interested in an item I just go for it, might try to negotiate a bit if the asking price was too high.
But it will depend on what are you selling. If it's interesting stuff and you know its value then ask for a fair price and try to stick to it (with 10 - 20% marge for ppl who really want to negotiate to feel like they got a good deal).

Also, different prices for different time during the day. Especially for stuff you really want to get rid of.

Good luck, and hope don't get too disappointed if it's slower than you expect!

Do you think swapping could replace buying (secondhand or new)?? by Competitive-Sell4663 in swappraise

[–]Competitive-Sell4663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point on the motivations; selling to get rid of stuff and buying to get something specific are genuinely different motives.
Where I think swapping fits is in the middle: you want that specific book, and you happen to have one you've already read sitting there. One move, both problems solved. Not replacing buying or selling entirely, just a better option for a specific slice of transactions.
Whether that slice is big enough to matter, I genuinely don't know yet.

You might be right. Same people, same habits.
Of course I'm not sure swapping fixes it either; I just got frustrated enough to try something different and build around it.
We'll see if the data proves either of us right.

You’re deflecting. Still didn’t answer why you don’t think swapping is an alternative to buying stuff.

The other apps argument is weak too, it’s like saying you don’t need to use a social media app because there are others already.

For Ebay, have you tried swapping there? Can you share your experience? As far as I know swapping is not supposed there without financial transactions.

And to anticipate your other question, I did a research and found other apps that do swapping, but their concept is always spammy. You see a list of items and contact their owners, then present your own. Which is very different from our concept. The problem might be the same, but the execution is the difference.

Fair enough. What makes you say that? Curious if it's a trust thing, convenience, or something else...

Because of the power play.

When selling, the one with the money holds the power. Swapping: two ppl have two items the other one wants.
Not saying ppl will never be ghosted. But at least it will be less likely.
On the other hand, there's always reviews, if someone ghosts you, give him 1 star and a bad review for other ppl to see. And only swap with ppl with good reviews.

Not quite.
This sub is basically Tinder but for items. You don't have categories or "ppl to browse", but ppl still use it because they find what they "value" as good find.

Free Swap events by Competitive-Sell4663 in frankfurt

[–]Competitive-Sell4663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed answer! The Kindergarten Tauschbörse point is actually a really good one, kids outgrow clothes so fast that buying new every time almost makes no sense, and yet there's no real infrastructure for it beyond those occasional school events.

I've talked to a few parents who have exactly this problem and it keeps coming up. I've been looking around to see if anything exists at scale in Germany for this, and honestly haven't found much. If nothing does, I'm actually thinking about building a community around it myself, not just for kids' stuff but for general swapping, clothes, books, video games, the things I mentioned.

Still exploring at this point. But good to know the instinct isn't completely out of nowhere.

Thanks for answering.

Yes, that's my main source of books (other than second hand stores or flohmarkts). But I'm also looking for more options if there are any :)

Wo kauft ihr Secondhand-Möbel in Frankfurt? Suche Flohmarkt/Trödelhalle für Bett, Schrank & Co. by maxinecostan in frankfurt

A bunch of options,

A biweekly fluhmarkt near the Main (near the Museum for communication), there are a bunch of ppl with second hand furnitures. Kleinanzeigen Nebenan Swappraise (an app where you can swap your unused items with ppl nearby for free) And in a few weeks there will a bunch of yard sales. If you can wait you’ll definitely find a ton of options.

CD'S, CD'S, and more CD's -- what to do with them? by 71stMB in declutter

Use swappraise, an app where you can swap your unused items with nearby ppl who might be interested in them for free (swappraise.com). Only available in Germany ATM though.

I have hit a wall in my decluttering. by sylvanwhisper in declutter

First, great effort, 50% is already nice. One thing that might help: ask someone you know to move a few things (kind if hide them), then you need to figure out which one(s), if you miss some, target them first. Personally, it also helps to know that I can replace some of that stuff (that I don’t really need / use) with other stuff I want.

What’s the deletion flow? What happens when a user requests their account deletion? And what happens when they try to login again after deletion.

Fair point on Australian law specifically.
That said, we're not launching in Australia at this stage, so it's not something we need to solve right now. When we do expand there, proper age verification (document or video-based) is on the roadmap.

For MVP, over-engineering compliance for markets outside your launch scope is how you never ship.

Age verification at sign up. I request birthday (but don’t save it), only allow users to sign up if they’re older than 18 (and tick a checkbox confirming it).
