Building Rollick in 40 Days

The Problem

I'm a reseller. I buy things at thrift stores and sell them on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, and Mercari. The process looks like this:

1. Find an item I think is underpriced
2. Research what it sells for (search eBay sold, check multiple sites)
3. Buy it
4. Take photos
5. Write a description
6. Post to Platform 1, fill in all fields, upload photos
7. Repeat for Platforms 2, 3, 4, 5
8. Track which platforms it's listed on in a spreadsheet
9. When it sells, update the spreadsheet, remove from other platforms

Steps 2 and 6-7 are the problem. Research takes time. Cross-posting takes 20+ minutes per item. Tracking is manual. So I started building.

Week 1-2: rollick-scan

The first tool: an AI scanner. Take a photo of any item and get back what it is, condition assessment, rarity score, resale price from recent sold data, and a buy/pass verdict.

It runs locally using Ollama + LLaVA. No API keys, no cloud dependency. Then I added Meta Ray-Ban support: press the side button on your glasses, it captures what you see, processes it, and speaks the result in your ear. You can scan items hands-free while walking through a store.

Week 3-4: rollick-autopost

The second tool: cross-platform posting. One API call, five platforms. eBay uses the official Sell API. Facebook, Craigslist, OfferUp, and Mercari use Puppeteer browser automation with human-like delays and fallback mode.

Send a title, description, price, photos, and it handles all five simultaneously. 30 seconds instead of 20 minutes.

Week 5-6: rollick.bet

The web app. This is where the tools come together:

• Inventory — Create asset cards with photos, condition grading, rarity scoring
• Dashboard — Real-time net worth tracking
• Marketplace status — See which items are listed where with colored dots
• Sold ledger — Track what sold, where, and for how much

Built on Supabase (auth + database), deployed to Cloudflare Pages.

Week 7-8: Mobile App

React Native + Expo. Same features as the web app plus camera scanner integration, native photo upload, and push notifications. Targeting App Store submission before launch.

Week 9-10: Launch Prep

Where I am right now. 40 days until May 4.

• Waitlist is live with referral system
• PWA is installable from rollick.bet
• Email sequence is written
• Demo videos are scripted
• Legal docs are done
• App Store metadata and build config are ready

What's Left

• Native iOS app build and App Store submission
• Live sweepstakes pools (provably fair prize system)
• Sweepstakes attorney review
• Social media accounts (@rollickbet)
• Demo videos filmed
• Hacker News launch post

The Stack

Everything is being built in public. Both core tools are open source. Star the repos if they're useful to you.
