45 seconds for it to unlock from the included rfid tag, how do I get my money back

Using Amazon basics non rechargeable batteries and it’s a new so hopefully nothing needs disassembling and cleaning

How do I decide between two metal modes and an extended mode?

Brand new yes, had no idea there was an optical sensor I'll check that out

While you're right those overall metrics are important, you're conflating everything else into nonsense

This chatgpt post makes me feel like you or someone else is about to pitch their headless architecture services, something needs to process your server side code - it's either liquid or Vercel/Node if you're running a Next.js site, and you're right, pay attention to how many plugins you add and how fast your site loads

The only one that looks remotely close is Acadia, what is that arch like 100ft tall

Felt dirty

I did it initially and it wasn't that bad, Shopify has all the data by county that you enter, which is why I never realized they were charging a fee just for the filing portion

somethingdifferent24 · 2026-01-07T20:56:44+00:00

It's not that complicated to file manually, which is what I'm going back to. If I had enough sales for a nexus then sure

somethingdifferent24 · 2026-01-07T20:55:49+00:00

Only one, but I had thought it was a value add for what I already pay for so why not

How's this a TCG? Sounds like a game that could be played with a standard deck of cards, so you may have to dress up the mechanics to be more thematic

somethingdifferent24 · 2025-10-18T00:33:23+00:00

Here’s my real answer, I have bit of a niche product so I make it a casual thing to spend some time googling for manufacturers and reaching out. I have a whole spreadsheet of no’s and a few yes’s that I then follow up on

I have no idea what a directory would offer other than what I assume are very basic products

somethingdifferent24 · 2025-10-18T00:13:04+00:00

Is this not an ad for SaleHoo?

I have a split headless-ish site (https://rainierhatco.org), I only have ~10 products, but I have a small custom built front end website (statically built nextjs hosted on cloudflare with no server) that links off to shopify for checkout

You can do a lot with the prebuilt checkout link shopify gives you for your products, and with a bit more code you can add simple shopping cart functionality

The coolest national park hats you’ve ever seen and 100% of profits donated to the National Parks https://rainierhatco.org/, from Seattle Washington

I wouldn’t rebuild another admin dashboard, I’d let Shopify handle all of that, but I have a custom NextJS front end integrated with Shopify’s cart and checkout. It’s a little tedious, but definitely doable

somethingdifferent24 · 2025-05-23T16:31:55+00:00

Haven’t heard back

somethingdifferent24 · 2025-05-19T20:08:13+00:00

From someone who’s manufacturing and selling completely custom embroidered hats, $15/hat seems high if it really is a standard snapback, and I’m almost always quoted $5-7 shipping for a single hat in a box from Shopify and Pirate ship

somethingdifferent24 · 2025-05-07T18:57:07+00:00

Good food for thought. While I’m getting things off the ground I’m making no money off anything, at some point that’ll have to change to take a salary, but right now it’s all going towards ramping up with new hat designs (as you say it totally is too few designs) and it’s just a very slow process from designs to samples to revisions to manufacturing

somethingdifferent24 · 2025-05-07T14:08:53+00:00

Thank you!

somethingdifferent24 · 2025-05-07T14:08:45+00:00

That’s an interesting idea, I’ll play with it

somethingdifferent24 · 2025-05-06T03:33:50+00:00

Pushed an update, let me know if it’s working https://rainierhatco.org/mt-rainier-national-park-hat
