Pet project for retro games

[8bitedge]

Hello!

I wanted to to let people know about a project I've been working on for the last four month called 8bitedge. I've been developing an easy way to identify only the retro games I'm interested in on eBay. I started with a spreadsheet, then moved onto a desktop application I wrote that basically implemented the spreadsheet, and finally turned it into a full fledge website with push notifications to the desktop app as well as a web console. It's a passion project of mine and I hope the retro community finds it useful.

I'd love feedback and ideas to make it better and more useful.

Thanks!
Benjamin

I'm attaching screenshots of the project now. If you want to test it out you can at 8bitedge.com.

I've been working hard on different backend and frontend components. Loading speed up, desktop client code clean up, etc. If you haven't looked yet, take a peek, https//8bitedge.com is a free service I put together for the gaming community. It helps you filter through the noise to find retro games via push feeds and search consoles that monitor sites like eBay real time. A passion project for sure and I'm pretty proud of it!

If anyone has any ideas for additional features please let me know!
