Update on my Retro Gaming Passion Project 8bitedge

[8bitedge]

Hi Everyone,

AI has been very very helpful in so many ways with this project.

To recap as I haven't posted in a few months, I started working on 8bitedge.com over a year ago to implement an easy way to find games in markets like Ebay for discounts below pricecharting data. It started as a personal project (spreadsheet), turned into a desktop application (still there and kicking!), and finally into a fully fledge service. Pretty fun evolution to develop this!

Now 8bitedge.com is now implementing classifiers. Between the image recognition of game listings, regex classifiers, and RAG, I've really increased the accuracy of CIB vs. Loose vs. New, etc., console identification, and specific game identification. All games now have pricing data from pricecharting integrated as well.

Accuracy is through the roof now and the marketplace feeds are back on now that I've moved to a different inference provider that is actually affordable (you wouldn't believe how expensive some of them are)!

Have a great day and again, any thoughts and especially ideas on my project would be greatly appreciated.

As a website user, these are my requirements for a website:

• Non fancy design. Websites with fancy design and animations tend to slow down things. As simple as possible, like it was a website from early 2000's, so the website can work lightning fast.
• White background or option to select white background.
• All buttons and dialog boxes accessible with Tab and keyboard.
• No banners or ads, although that can be suppressed client side.
• Right click mouse and copy text available.

I really appreciate the feedback. I will definitely take the geocities style into mind :) I absolutely understand the function over form argument, and normally I would 100% agree with you on that, but I wanted a more stylized approach that screams retro to me.

I actually had it laid out with some of your style ideas earlier, it just didn't seem to fit with the overall theme.

There is a mobile site that'll load from a mobile sized browser that may be more you're style. Just load up 8bitedge.com on your phone and it should redirect.
