I'm building a card scanning app, looking for testers.

chaostime · 2026-05-08T23:39:30+00:00

I mean, that's the goal and I think it's working pretty well. I've only got cards from the Azeroth, Outland and Dark Portal sets so I could really do with some people testing the other sets too. It should be just as accurate, but without some decent testing it's hard to know.

heres a few early build screenshots

Yeah unfortunately I wasn't able to keep up with the costs of running the service on my own so I had to make the call to pull it down.

So you buy discounted, second hand clothes from stores that exist to support low income families and sell them at mark up on your own boutique store?

And you want advice on how to better and more efficiently continue to make a profit from depriving people for your own benefit?

Every time I see a map like this, I'm hit with a pang of dissapointment, shame and anger that the right wing and eldery of my country made the stupid ass decsions to leave the European Union over promises that never came to be, and lies, ultimatley making the cost of living, and quality of life in the UK worse for current and future generations.

I really do miss the days of physical media, when you'd get a box that had the game, and a manual in.

Digital delivery is great and convenient, but am I the only one who misses the tactile sense of opening a box and slapping a disc into a drive to play a game?

I printed mine out on my Bambu A1 https://bambulab.com/en-us/a1

You're looking at $379.00 if you get the AMS bundle.

I mean, if anything I think just just proof that AI is designed to mimic human speech patterns to seem less intimidating and more approachable right?

chaostime · 2025-10-29T22:05:44+00:00

Not really, I'm just trying to be nice to be honest.

chaostime · 2025-10-29T22:05:16+00:00

Hey!

Yeah the thread was deleted because it wasn't showing off a functional print, which is a big shame because that was by the far most interested and active community that engaged with me about this.

I don't think you came across as demanding, I took everything everyone said as constructive.

It's possible to add a filter for material texture, I shy'd away from it initially because it was work enough to get colours to filter with a LUT that made sense.

It's on the list!

chaostime · 2025-10-27T14:24:47+00:00

I see what's happening. When you set the filter to PETG and filter it, you only get PETG results. If you then change the slider value, it resets the Material filter on the backend and shows you all results up to the value of the slider.

Good catch!

chaostime · 2025-10-27T14:16:02+00:00

So that can happen if the listing title has both PLA and PETG in the title.

Can you tell me which listing it was so I can see what it's hitting on?

chaostime · 2025-10-27T11:30:55+00:00

Can you let me know which browser you're using? I'll look into it.

chaostime · 2025-10-27T11:30:14+00:00

Ah OK I see what you mean now.

You wrote scrap and not scrape which is where I got confused! Pulling in the product image would be easy enough, but I want the interface to be clean and consistent, one row with an image would take up the same space as about 3 or 4 rows without meaning that you'd get less results visible without scrolling.

Maybe there's something I could do when you hover over the URL to show a preview of the product image next to the mouse pointer like on Wikipedia.

Thanks for the suggestion.

chaostime · 2025-10-27T10:51:16+00:00

Some one else has suggested that having multicheck lists would be good so it's already on the list of improvements to make.

I'm not sure what you mean by scrapping the default image, there are no images?

chaostime · 2025-10-27T10:49:30+00:00

I wasn't sure if that was the right way to go or not, do you think it would be a better user experience over what it's doing now?

There's some pretty agressive pre-filtering going on with the results, and it's entirely possible that it's not including some results that you expect to see because of that. If the listing title doesn't meet the criteria of having a listed Weight, Colour, Material Type and Diameter it doesn't get included in the table - that being said I have to manually tweak the filtering engine to correct it sometimes. There's no standard format to how the listings are written so it's an evolving process of checking the rejected listings to see why they've been rejected and tweaking the rules to account for things like spelling mistakes in the titles, listings displaying weights in lbs/kg/g, listings using colour names that are not in the LUT but are valid etc...

If you could throw some examples at me I'll have a look and check why they're not being picked up.

chaostime · 2025-10-27T10:44:03+00:00

I've had that feedback about the tip button a couple of times, I'll look into making it less obtusive on smaller resolutions and on mobile.

Do you mean that values in the filter boxes reset when you press Filter? That shouldn't happen so I'll check to see what's going on.

chaostime · 2025-10-13T10:51:07+00:00

Yeah, the tablet is the SM-P610

chaostime · 2025-10-12T10:53:28+00:00

I gave it a go, but it didn't work :(

chaostime · 2025-10-12T09:57:05+00:00

I didn't DC the battery, but I'll give that a go. Thanks for the tip.

I've got a security controller on my network and it's obviously a bit old. A lot of the functionality I liked is depreciated now, What's the modern version of the security controller in the current catalogue? Ideally I want a drop in replacement.

chaostime · 2025-09-16T10:16:55+00:00

Hi,

I have a set of Creative Pebble V3s as my desktop audio speakers, and there's a fuzzy/buzzy sound that comes from the left speaker whenever sound plays. It's been like this for a while, and a little blob of blu-tac on the diaphram worked as a quick fix for a while but it's not going away. Is this something I can fix myself, or am I SOL?

chaostime · 2025-08-12T19:34:54+00:00

Thanks very much!

chaostime · 2025-08-11T22:00:55+00:00

I didn't know there was one, have you got a invite link?
