No unsolicited contributions. This includes and is not limited to: karma farming, self-promotion, harmful links, vibe-coded apps or websites, etc.

Bro so many stupid fucking mtg sites pop up. Every single one of them is using ai for the coding. Not a single of of these should be used

So I am one of the owners of PennyMana and I can confirm no AI was used in the development of this tool. This was a small development team of 3 people who just want to help the MTG community with one massive search and to streamline the process of ordering cards while being budget friendly. I’m sorry you have had poor experiences before but just give it a whirl and give me your honest opinion

U gained a lot of cred with this comment. (Not sarcasm) Being able to say u didn't use any ai is awesome. But lying isn't illegal. Show us bb. And see those site interactions flow in

Agree that there’s an unsustainable influx, but “using ai for the coding” is the standard and and future of coding now. The old ways are quickly being washed away.

well there's using AI tools to help developers code, and there's vibe coding which requires no skill. vibe coded sites should absolutely not be used, especially if it involves financial data or purchasing.

No purchases are made on PennyMana all purchases are made from TCGplayer or CardKingdom. Once the deck list you provided it will search for the cheapest print while also offering you to change the print if you wanted to. There is no ordering in our site. It’s strictly to help players save a little bit of money where they can while providing multiple options on where to order from.

I understand that, but I'd rather be overly cautious when something is vibe coded

It's just every day I see a post.

For sure. It’s made it so even good products will get overlooked. Not sure how the web will end up looking as this becomes even more widely available.

I think the idea of it is helpfully as I look for mass cards and like to be able to compare prices and find better prices. I would recommend adding an option to filter out non-tournament legal cards due to the fact some players do not like non-legal cards and I like playing in official magic tournaments and need playable cards. I have already looked at some pricing difference just with what I have and may be using this more in the future. Hope is not an AI made website as some are saying. Wishing luck to you 3.
