Show HN: Omi – A Fast Pokémon Card Scannerhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45461360Hi HN, I built Omi — a simple way to scan Pokémon cards with your phone and get instant results: name, set, and current market price. I made this because managing a collection was a pain. Manually typing card names into TCGPlayer or eBay takes forever, and existing apps were either slow or clunky. Omi uses on-device image recognition and a lightweight model fine-tuned on thousands of Pokémon card images. It does: Card detection — even with uneven lighting or slightly rotated cards Real-time lookup — low-latency match against a database of ~15k cards Pricing — live price pulls from multiple marketplaces The hardest part was getting good accuracy with cards that look nearly identical across different sets (hello, Pikachu variants). I ended up adding edge detection + set symbol recognition as a second pass, which massively reduced false matches. You can try it here: https://tcgscanneromi.com . Would love feedback — especially around speed, accuracy on unusual cards, and ideas for featuresOct 3, 2025 10:47 AM

Ask HN: What Is Happening, with Everything?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26999651Has anyone found a decent take on what's going on right now in regards to the insane levels of retail demand? I'm aware that there are chip shortages and shipping shortages, but is that all there is to it?It seems like this demand should result in price inflation, but that most companies are holding their prices, which results in a cyclical escalation of demand via arbitrage/scalping.It seems to be across all kinds of products except, perhaps, food: Pokemon cards, cars, tech gadgets, crypto and even real estate (though this results in overbidding as much as arbitrage seeking.)Is there risk of serious financial damage if:A. The scarcity continues, and prices eventually creep up to match demand ( I've seen a few things go up in price, e.g. a Breville Smart Oven Pizzaolo oven that was $800 last year is now $1000, but most stuff is staying where it was.)B. Supply catches up with demand and prices drop while inventory skyrocketsApr 30, 2021 9:33 PM
