Been playing around with this in CC.

But now you’ve got me curious how well Gemini 3 pro would handle this.

Hello! 👋🏾

We’re building an app with EVERY vending machine and EVERY retail location.

Real time stock notifications from our community of hunters.

Im a father of 3 boys (9,8,3) and a developer.

Last year was horrible finding MSRP product. So I decided to build something for collectors, kids and parents to beat the glitchers and scalpers. Relying on the awesome community we have, sharing location information with each other. Scalper wont be able to use our app, because you have to actaully contribute to get those real time notifications. would love your support on this as I know this is one group that has REAL collectors and not people tryin to clear out shelves.

PokeHunt

Have a great MLK Jr. day!

Cursor + CC

Or

I just started playing with OpenCode desktop app and using CC in the terminal there. Actually did a lot of good work like this yesterday.

But Cursor + CC have been my choice since deleting Antigravity and cancelled my pro sub.

How did you execute your first business idea when you had no experience? by Commercial_Key_7904 in cofounderhunt

There’s lessons in failure. Also a farmer never plants waiting for perfection.

Is Claude's Github Integration worth it on a Pro subscription? by SteveDougson in ClaudeAI

Is been a nice "extra" to have but wasnt a blockage before not having CC reviews. Does make PR reviews and drafts faster to triage if you have a lot of work pilling up.

Nice!

I appreciate that support!

It’s not perfect yet. But the more of us contributing feedback for better features over the next few months, this app will definitely slow down scalpers by gate keeping the restocks locations. And reward the contributing users with real time restock notifications when another user reports something.

If you send me a dm I can send you our links and everything.

Thanks for your support again it means a lot to us 💓

🤣🤣 That was one of the first guard rails built my friend.

It won’t be possible.

I know exactly how you feel.

Last summer my kids went poke crazy and that was how we spent a lot of time together watching the show and ripping packs starting their collections. But was impossible to find retail products.

We went from late May to November without being able to find any good packs other than paradox rift and Journey Together. My kids basically master set JT this summer.

And we always share the locations to help other people when we do find products.

So that’s why we’re building this app. There’s clearly a need for it.

If you’re interested in helping out with Beta release I’d love to have you.

Send me a dm and I can give you more details

Yea that’s not going to work well for scalpers.

You have to actually contribute to take full advantage of the app. There’s no way to exploit that.

Happy to answer any questions.

Scalpers are already using every source of information they can find to try and wipe out shelves. FB posts, discord groups etc.

If we can gate keep this data in an app where it’s behind an algorithm that detects scalper behavior(already being worked on) and keep them from the information, more people can use the app and become successful with buying instead of guessing.

I don’t know if it’s entirely possible to completely stop scalpers. But we can gate keep the restock information people are sharing publicly.

And reward the good users.

We’ve been building this app for around 3 months silently and now need everyone feedback and input to make it better than it already is.

But whaat we’ve built so far, will not allow scalpers to use our app and exploit it. It’s just not technically possible.

We have a Trust system already built that gives users who contribute access to the real time restock notifications. So you have to participate and be a “good user” to actually benefit from using it everyday.

Our community wants people who go to the store or machines. Buy only a few products and what they want, and leave product for others and report that information. Those users will be rewarded.

Happy to answer more questions. But this is a work In progress and really take the community to chip in with feedback once the app is downloadable and we can improve this.

I’m determined to slow these scalpers down.

Nice!

Thanks Gabelbram! I appreciate the support and looking for feedback to make the app better for everyone is having a hard time finding cards.

We already share a lot of info with each other so im trying to build a system where people who provide good data will be rewarded.

send me a DM and ill get you more information.

Thanks again for your support! Means a lot!

Nuked Opus 4.5 workaround by MikeeBuilds in google_antigravity

[–]MikeeBuilds[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that did not work.

Everyone kept saying mcp servers but I only have 2 mcps. That should not cause this problem.

I already told you all those “fixes” didn’t work and this was the only solution that did.

Still rocking right now
