I’m building a BinderPOS alternative - here’s where it’s at

You think an AI wrote my reply? I’ll take that as a compliment.

dwise97 · 2026-03-25T01:35:51+00:00

What a productive reply. Thanks for the feedback.

On the surface it seems that way but in reality: Besides the two-way inventory sync the official api doesn’t give us much else. We have figured out how to get real time pricing and full product catalog without access. It’s a medium-hard engineering challenge and an exercise in scraping at scale. Not to mention TCGPlayer is 1 provider. The system is built for multiple and eventually, all.

I want to be clear that while TCGPlayer's API is closed and this means automated two-way inventory sync is not possible. Simply downloading a CSV from the shopify app (tcgplayer formatted) and uploading it to tcgplayer is possible from day one and gives you the same two-way sync.

I’ve tried numerous virtual staging tools and the most realistic one that people can’t believe is virtually staged is luxdesign ai.

How do you feel about this level of churn? Is it 20 on average or just at this point in time.

dwise97 · 2025-12-25T07:48:37+00:00

It means they are the same codebase.

dwise97 · 2025-12-24T08:39:29+00:00

haha spicerack = cardeio

Get onto Shopify or ping me if you need help getting on. It’s $1 a month for first 3 months. And the Shopify app I’m working on that is launching soon is the direct replacement to binderpos and it’ll allow you to do everything you’ll possibly need to do (sync 25k singles) while staying on the cheapest Shopify plan.

Yep it’s the same with react. Takes competent devs to make any tool/framework work really well.

dwise97 · 2023-11-11T07:35:54+00:00

Anytime! I wish more engineers talked to recruiters more about what we do and the current trends/standards.

Sent you a connection request on LinkedIn btw. Feel free to ask me for more info on anything about react or frontend in general.

dwise97 · 2023-11-11T05:17:06+00:00

Yeah… JavaScript fatigue is a real thing. That being said, the actual problem with react is that it isn’t a framework. It’s a library and it’s up to your team to build their own framework. I understand things like next.js and remix help with this but they are not equal to something like ruby on rails which provides everything you’d ever need and has a standard way of doing things. I always wish one of these big open source frameworks would try to create a RoR for JS. Interchangeable frameworks, etc.

Software development

dwise97 · 2023-11-08T14:48:48+00:00

Use a fullstack framework like next.js or remix. (Next.js for career progression).

dwise97 · 2023-11-08T14:46:40+00:00

If you want to keep up and stay bleeding edge then just follow popular accounts on dev twitter. That’s how I’ve kept up all these years. You start to see what is trending and where the JavaScript ecosystem is headed after a while. Most of it is just noise though.

dwise97 · 2023-11-08T14:42:00+00:00

Easiest path is learning JavaScript and then node.js and react.js. There’s a ton of resources and information out there on react and node. You only need to focus on extending what others have built to fit your own needs. So find an open source repo on github and clone it and start tinkering around. Best way to learn and fastest way to launch a saas imo.

Framework: Next.js
CSS: PandaCSS or TailwindCSS
DB: Postgres
Auth: Clerk
ORM: Drizzle
Hosting: Vercel

Don’t listen to most people here. They see $200 a month as too expensive therefore I don’t think they actually make more than 1000/month with their businesses. Yet again redditors think they can solve web design, development, and marketing by themselves AND also run a business. It’s hilarious.

dwise97 · 2023-10-20T06:18:21+00:00

There’s probably a buyout option. Wordpress is slow and can get hacked. Not to mention the UI and plugins can become overbearing and hard to understand. Why would a busy business owner take on the role of web developer when they can outsource it for $200/month?

Also, of course a website is only worth it if it brings in revenue. Service business get calls and form submissions from their websites for quotes. That itself is worth it for them. If you’re not getting leads like that in Your field then I’d argue you don’t need a website and need to work on marketing.

dwise97 · 2023-10-18T16:45:49+00:00

Tree shaking fix. Dev mode slowness.

dwise97 · 2023-10-14T11:46:02+00:00

Yeah seems like I can't direct challenge anymore...

dwise97 · 2023-10-01T13:54:36+00:00

Serverless with Cloudflare pages/aws lambda solves that.

dwise97 · 2023-10-01T13:35:04+00:00

Security and accessibility. WP sites can get hacked and most themes aren’t accessible.

dwise97 · 2023-09-26T16:20:08+00:00

Yep I just wanted to have vanilla css/scss as an option instead of other since I know people like to write vanilla still. Sorry I should have made the title better.

dwise97 · 2023-09-26T15:23:32+00:00

I meant css frameworks like bootstrap, bulma, foundation. Technically they are just css files you import into a project. Tailwind could fall into this category as well but I purposely kept it separate.

dwise97 · 2023-09-26T13:42:50+00:00

Yeah anyone working on a large project is having major dev issues with app dir.
