I wasn’t intending to put you on blast. It was more of a "people need to be explicitly told this kind of thing.” If you wanna host an epub or mobi get a Web host and do it, the free or close to free services that already exist aren’t obligated to host files for any of us, and apparently have already set up filters to only allowed typical media that we’re used to on the Internet

Damus can connect to nostr.build which is what you can upload media of various types, to harass them into allowing other file types @nprofile…lpch but I’m not sure what @nprofile…qx6a and the rest use for media storage. If you want to upload an epub and share it find a host and do it. That’s what we’re all doing.

Added a way to revise existing listings, fixed the image order, and added the store category. This is pretty cool.

2026-03-03 01:25:57 UTC

Just ran 50 cards through the Pokémon card tool app into the eBay API and straight into my store, live. The only issues I can find are: it didn’t automatically apply the store category I created for the set and it needs to move the first of the three images to the end. Otherwise I think it’s working pretty good! I’ll have to explore it more and see what data I can get.

2026-03-03 00:24:00 UTC

Got a single card listed through the api. It was the test one codex pushed for me. Now it’s working on making that happen when I click a publish button for a full batch.

2026-03-02 17:37:30 UTC

The corner finding model is so close, but it’s not quite there yet. I’m still adjusting corners in batches. Once it doesn’t feel like I need to be adjusting corners then I will stop with training the model for… until there’s issues, and just let this step be automated.

It appears I have gotten the Pokemon card tool connected to eBay‘s API so now I’m going to do a small run to test it. It’s in read only mode for now. Maybe I can download links to listings that match my systems existing skus to confirm everything is talking in a low risk way.

2026-03-01 19:38:18 UTC

Starting to tinker with using https tunneling to connect my local app to eBay… if it can be implemented I can send and receive better and the app will become even more useful. But I don’t know what I’m doing. So I’m hoping we can get it going 😂

2026-03-01 18:48:44 UTC

I have this strange feeling the last 5 months I’ve been making scripts to make listing on eBay easier and more efficient have been wasted and that a lobster could replicate the function without building anything and simply doing the work itself.
Can’t find out until I can get another machine to test it on. But I’m sus about it lol

2026-03-01 16:03:18 UTC

Just putting this out there in case it exists, but if it doesn’t, I wish there were a way to fund a video file so that it was accessible online without needing an account. I don’t know what that would look like or how it would work, but basically I want to upload a video (or picture) that I want to be accessible in a redundant way and when I upload it, I want to attach a lightning payment to it and that basically covers its storage for a certain amount of time. if people find the video useful, they can also zap it to keep it online, otherwise, it eventually just kind of falls off the Internet as it fades from relevance.
Like I said no clue how it would function, just would be nice to have. Almost like nostr dot build… but I don’t want an account with a limit. I want to pay by the file for visual media that won’t go away just because I die and stop paying the bills or the platform it’s on gets usurped and then shuts down.

I listed 52 items on eBay today with the help of task batching. Technically it was several days of preemptive work to set me up to be able to do this but normally on a good day it’s 10-20 items listed. I’m up to 208 listed items (I liked that cause, Idaho, lol) and I’ve only got 42 more free monthly listings until I need to upgrade to a basic store account. I’ll probably do that tomorrow if I can manage to get another 50 up. I’ve already got stuff organized and ready to photograph so when I wake up I’ll start taking pictures and get geared up to list again. 😊
