I hope a little self-promotion is OK here as it is directly relevant to our hobby.
Otaku! is my new iOS app that enables you to easily search for the same thing across multiple Japanese shopping websites: Yahoo Auctions, Mercari, Fril, Suruga-ya, CD Japan, Yes Asia, Buyee, FromJapan, HOYOYO, etc…
Set the search term once then each site shows you search results—feels like magic!
Perfect for crazy import gamers, X68000 hounds, PC-98 die-hards, MSX nuts …people like us.
Awesome idea, definitely will check it out. Makes me wonder if other countries around the world would be interested in an app like this for English or Chinese storefronts
Hey! My phone’s algorithm fed me news about this and I thought it was cool (can’t check it out at the moment as I’m on Android), but had no idea it was made by an IC person – how cool. Big ups @gingerbeardman. Love this place.
I think it was just my little Android side panel that uses my algorithm to push news/stuff that it knows I’m interested in/have browsed before because I’ve sold out to Google? I believe it pushed me a Resetera thread?
I didn’t realise they don’t allow self-promotional threads. Somebody else other than me would have to start the thread. I’ll sort that out when I launch this on.the App Store soon.
