This is the same as the merch shop but digital-goods focused. Suggestions can be vague or specific, but don’t add anything super troll or inappropriate. Try not to overlap too much.
Plural resolves YES even if only one of that thing is added to the shop
Does not need to get purchased to count
Has to be purchasable in 2026; where doesn't matter (e.g. multiple shops or naming schema is irrelevant)
Update 2026-02-17 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator intends to use loose interpretations when resolving answers:
Category terms (like "hat") may be treated as catch-all terms for similar items
Items don't need to match exact names or strict definitions
If an idea is implemented in a similar form, it will likely resolve YES even if slightly different from the exact wording
Example: "hovercard" could include anything in that general category, and items that look like hats may resolve YES for "hat" even if technically categorized differently in the shop
Update 2026-02-17 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Strict vs. loose interpretation clarification:
Numeric requirements (like "100 day streak") will be resolved strictly - the exact number must be met
Item names and categories will be resolved more loosely - similar items may count even if not exact matches
Update 2026-02-17 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Answer creators will be allowed to decide how their own answers should be interpreted for resolution purposes.

Before any shop update, it's probably worth clarifying expectations. I originally was thinking I'd be kinda loose with some interpretations (i.e. hat could be a catch-all term, to some extent, and "hovercard" could include anything) so that ideas which were implemented are accurately reflected, rather than something not necessarily resolving because it's slightly off the exact strict interpretation of the words
Is this what people were expecting? Or was the expectation that it would be treated strictly (i.e. "hat" means it has to definitely be a "hat", or exact name matches, etc.) -- I use this example because future updates will clearly distinguish the category of item, so that it's clear which items can be used together 😃 but some items which look like hats may not actually be hats, for purposes of combination. It could get weird. Are we all happy for loosey goosey resolutions?
@Gen In contrast though, I think that the "100 day streak" kind of unambiguous requirement should actually be strictly considered (i.e. a 50 day streak requirement wouldn't cut it), whereas the names and item categories seems more arbitrary to me.
@Gen I guess I should also say I'm fine with allowing the people who add answers to decide how they should be interpreted
@wasabipesto I don't remember where I saw this one. The idea is only one person can ever have it at a time, but anyone can steal it by paying more than the previous owner did. It would probably need to slowly decay price over time.
@wasabipesto I had planned a version of this, a trophy that could be “claimed” by whoever holds the most tickets in the charity draw. Once someone new claims it, the current holder loses it
That way rather than having it decay, it follows a reset cycle - and promotes the charity stuff
@wasabipesto Inspired by Steam profile page customization options. It would be nice if I could set https://manifold.markets/wasabipesto to have a default landing page with a large pinned comment, some featured markets I'd like to see more attention on, some large limit orders I want matched, a specific view of my profit graph, calibration plot, etc.
@wasabipesto More detailed thoughts on profile customization here: https://wasabipesto.notion.site/Manifold-Profile-Showcase-2f110d2cc6e38066bb49e938b08f45ee?source=copy_link
@wasabipesto Inspired by how you can set a theme in Discord. I'm imagining additional colorways like pure black+white, rainbow gradient, etc. It could also have e.g. super-high-density text modes.
@Gen @Eliza do you see anything on this list which calls out to you as "m100k" tier worthy? I had originally tested the top hat/monocle concept at 50k each (monocle wearable with any hat) but didn't spend a lot of time refining the designs.
My other top contender for something at M100k could be the halo/devilhorns or something like that (or both of those at M50k each)? It would require a bit of thought as to how to make the halo work without clashing hard with the golden glow
@Gen I don't think I am a good person to ask. Even though I think it is obvious that Manifold should have stuff like this, I don't really believe in cosmetics and have no idea what people think is cool or not.
