SNIFFIT
Channel22 · design + build · 2026

Point a phone at a piece of furniture in a thrift store and learn what it is worth before you carry it home. It helped us earn over $4K in flipping profit in six months.

RESULT Over $4K in flipping profit in six months for the side hustle my wife and I run on it. Every price weighs Claude's visual estimate against comparables from 50,000+ product listings across five marketplaces, so it rests on market evidence, not just the model's judgment.

STRIKE (Fan Concepts)
Fan concepts · 2023, 2026

A bitcoin app I use, redrawn twice: once around the one thing it already owns, and once around the thing it asks you to trust it with.
