Popsike Alternative

- Start date
I'll be making some changes starting in a couple of weeks. The first modification i'm going to work on is to modify my application to start adding auctions from other regions. I'm also going to redesign the details page since I think it looks terrible, it's a bit tricky since everyone has their own code in their descriptions but i'll figure something out. I also want to add a currency convert, but that's a bit tricky due to currency fluctuation, but I will see what I can do about that. I also have bigger long term plans. If anyone has suggestions, let me know.
Thanks for the great work you're doing at CF.
I was looking at the Verocai's auction and found that
everytime an apostrophe ( ' ) is used it shows some weird characters,
like these ones ?? ??? ???. Not that this means anything, though.
Also, for the currencies you could simply add a link to some service
like www.xe.com, for instance.
Peace

I'll look into the first issue Moogman, I think it's due to character encoding. I might end up redesigning the whole thing since I pretty much did the whole website in a few days.
The tricky part about the currencies for example is that the British Pound is not the the same value in comparison to the US dollar today as it was a year ago and vice-versa. XE does offer currency conversions for specific days though. It would be a lot nice if I could do the conversion simply by having a user click on a button to convert it. I'll figure something out though.
This is excellent -- thank you dark0.
Any easy way to see past days results (front page search-able by date)?

Haha I actually wrote a program to do that a few months ago, and I did collect about 20,000 auctions. But I don't know how ethical it would be to use it.
Big pictures is something I'm considering. I'm worried about how it would affect the speed of the site, but I agree that bigger pictures would be much more useful. One problem is that I wouldn't be able to get bigger pictures for previous auctions.
I'll add a button to view previous top selling items for the day in a couple of weeks when I overhaul the site.
i don't know if i'd bother with the popsike stuff. it's already on popsike & the speed CF is updating with compared to popsike's sporadic adds means that your info will me more on point soon enough anyway. Also, some of the popsike results are old & maybe not so relevant these days.
ugh
I think incorporating the popsike data would be useful.
Second the request for big pictures.
Great site.
