Imagine a proxy only tournament of any card game, where you have to submit your decklist ahead of time and it is waiting for you when you arrive, ready to play and keep.
The red bordered cards are the ones I just printed, real cards are on the right. Also all are US sized, the real yugioh cards are slightly smaller than that.
I tried to get a couple diff angles and card types. Like I said, totally good enough for my use cases!
There's no screenshots and no information about how it works (or information at all for that matter), which doesn't really convince me to create an account (in my mind, the process of picking a deck and printing it is not one where requiring a login would be obvious, so some more "convincing" might help).
I don't want to sound mean-spirited, but I'd guess many people would similarly refrain from creating an account for the reasons mentioned above.
Edit: Turns out there's a cool scrolling cards animation as background! It's just that it doesn't seem to work on Firefox so there it just has a blank background.
I also saw your other comment about the "test" account (didn't feel like replying on both places). Thank you for that.
That said, maybe there's some other advantage to having an account that I just didn't think of.
I didn't add any restrictions on email registration because I hear you that actually creating an account can be a chore. Exposing web services to the public internet without auth seems scary, which is why I rarely do it.
Aren’t you still effectively doing that, though?
This seems like the combination of two downsides: Bots will be able to perform email verification if they want to; honest users will still be deterred.
Thanks for setting this up adenta!

I’d love to know:
1) How it compares to Sentry in terms of insights you get 2) How you set it up as an accessory
I’ve used various (hosted) APM services for my Rails apps but they all are stupendously expensive so your approach sounds intriguing.
I set it up as an accessory with this config:
openobserve:
proxy:
ssl: true
host: openobserve.cardstocktcg.com
app_port: 5080
healthcheck:
path: /
interval: 1
timeout: 5
image: public.ecr.aws/zinclabs/openobserve:latest
host: 178.156.134.191
port: "5080:5080"
env:
clear:
ZO_DATA_DIR: "/openobserve_data"
secret:
- ZO_ROOT_USER_EMAIL
- ZO_ROOT_USER_PASSWORD
directories:
- openobserve_data:/openobserve_data
email me (in profile) if you wanna stay in touch when this goes live
TL;DR: Use them all you want for play testing but don't use them in events or for trading.
Edit: They DO want a watermark for proxy cards, not sure they enforce that much since most proxy sites make it optional.
It says
"A playtest card is most commonly a basic land with the name of a different card written on it with a marker. Playtest cards aren't trying to be reproductions of real Magic cards; they don't have official art and they wouldn't pass even as the real thing under the most cursory glance. Fans use playtest cards to test out new deck ideas before building out a deck for real and bringing it to a sanctioned tournament. And that's perfectly fine with us. Wizards of the Coast has no desire to police playtest cards made for personal, non-commercial use, even if that usage takes place in a store."
So they say that they have no desire to police them, but define them as not using original art and not passing for the real card even briefly. Those descriptions do not apply to high-resolution original art card images printed out.
I think the problem is money changing hands which isn't happening.
I'm trying to build an all in one proxy printing experience, where you can track and share decklists for every card game.
I'm keeping the account requirement for now, sorry if that means you want to use the service, but can't
If you want to play around with it, try account hn@example.com with password 'hackernews'
Your search function could have puppies and rainbows but it surely doesn't do anything worth creating an account for.
