If I were to make a market search page that actually works, would people give me enough mana to be worth my time?

I could use the API to create a search function that's actually useful and works properly in <1 week, hosted on my website.

I have done this! Here's the new search page: https://outsidetheasylum.blog/manifold-search/

It's pretty bare-bones right now as I didn't know exactly what people would want, so just let me know what you'd like me to add.

I'm making it available free of charge, but if anyone would like to managram me for it, I certainly won't say no. This market will resolve based on whether I receive at least M$15,000 within a month from today.

If you find it useful, I'd appreciate you letting me know over at /IsaacKing/will-at-least-10-people-report-havi

Why add it to your website ? The manifold repo is public, so you could just improve the existing page (or make an alternate one) and manifold themselves may tip you with mana if that's what you want.

@Odoacre Having to integrate it with the Manifold codebase would take me much longer than building it standalone, and given how many times they've changed their built-in search function and how terrible it still is, I have no confidence that they'd actually approve my changes anyway.

He said below his lower bound price is 10k Mana - I am personally willing to put 3334 ($33.34) towards this. Are two other people willing to do the same?

At what rate do you value your time?

predictedNO

@RobertCousineau See my comment below.

@IsaacKing my bad!

In what way would *your* search function be actually useful and work properly?

How much mana would be worth your time?

How would you collect the mana?

predictedNO
  1. It would return the results people expect? Right now you can search for a word and get back markets that have nothing to do with that word. Would let you filter by name, description, creation date, close date, etc.

  2. Would probably take me 5-20 hours to build, and I don't value my time that highly, so maybe 10-30k.

  3. Manalink? Doesn't really matter.
