Show HN: Packs Club, Trading Card Subscription Service Built in 7 Hours
packsclub.net
For just $10 a month, members receive 10 assorted trading card packs delivered directly to their doorstep. It's a mixture of vintage and modern cards, sports, collectible card games, and other [1].
I think this is an engaging and convenient way to expand a trading card collection, explore new series, and potentially uncover rare finds.
The platform is built on Express and Node.js, which is now boring but should be good to go with what we expect for traffic. It's deployed via AWS Elastic Beanstalk. For payments, we've integrated Stripe.
The entire site was built and deployed in just 7 hours. This is roughly the amount of time it took to source the cards! If the idea is validated, we will look to build a social platform and marketplace.
If you're interested in trading cards, or just want to see what can be accomplished with this tech stack in a short amount of time, check out Packs Club at www.packsclub.net.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback.
