specifically
> i have a different overall vision than those products, and it's built with a more modern tech stack and design considerations. i have an ai prototype for appraising books that i've successfully used to appraise and list my own collection. and i plan to build in some automation tools that would be useful to a bigger brick & mortar, like "order me 5 more copies of 'as i lay dying' when inventory count gets down to 3" and other ways a savvy bookseller could hook into automation that could help them with their work. and for the non-technically savvy users, i'm hoping to have great customer service to help them with some automation. i think this might end up being a core part of the product but only time will time. i also have some marketing tool ideas that nobody has built, based on some past experiences working in library tech and my time doing marketing for a bookseller.
helps to have somebody helping me who works in a bookstore. and also helps to use it myself, since i am user #1. was waiting for the HN cynicism! glad you like it :)
