GAP Locations

Hi everyone, I’m sourcing a large pergola (11m x 5m) for my house and I found a specialized supplier on Alibaba called "Greenawn". Being familiar with the Chinese market, I cross-checked the price for the exact same specs on both Alibaba and 1688. I expected a markup, but the gap is absolutely insane! Alibaba quoted \~15,000$ and 1688 quoted \~24,110 CNY (\~ 3,300$) That is 4 times the price for the same product from the same company!!! I understand that Alibaba caters to international clients and 1688 to the domestic market, but no amount of "Alibaba fees" or "English support" justifies a 400% markup! I would like to visiting their showroom in Foshan in...

Hello fellow morally flexible red people I have an idea I'd love some input on and generally gauge interest in it. So far the Name I've come up with is Hide and Gank. The premise is a team of 3 hosting players hide using only gestures no mimic veil allowed. After a predetermined timer had elapsed a team of 2 invaders activate their invasion tools. The goal is to kill all players on the opposing team. Invaders seek out the gankers using strong knowledge of the maps to avoid being stealth killed or ambushed. Ok with the summary out the way let's get down to brass tacks. # Structure **Team Gank** would be 3 hiders and a 4th player as Camera man/Referee, I did some testing wit...

I know it might sound weird but despite being 18 I always have to ask my mom if "I can buy it", "Is it an okay purchase". Not because my mom asked me to, but just because I need confirmation that what I am doing it right. My younger sister for example buys so much stuff - lashes, clothes, phone cases, make up. Usually my expenses are: shoes twice a year and some clothes but also very rare (I have very weird taste in fashion and I rarely find something at which my heart beats faster). Almost everything I have is second hand. I exclusively buy on Vinted or when my mom has store leftovers - blouses with holes or torn, shoes I can glue back. I think a lot of my spending hab...

built a tool called leakeo and im at the stage where i need real stores on it to see if it actually delivers value before i start charging think hotjar but instead of just showing you recordings and heatmaps it tells you exactly how much revenue youre losing, where its leaking from and gives you a step by step playbook to fix it. it connects to shopify or stripe, puts a small tracking script on your site and monitors your revenue flow constantly. when something drifts from your baseline, conversion drops, mobile vs desktop gaps, aov changes, checkout friction, it flags it immediately, shows you the impact in actual revenue terms and tells you exactly what to do about it hotjar shows you th...

every marketing thread here is the same: SEO, content marketing, cold email, LinkedIn, paid ads. All valid. All extremely crowded. I want to talk about the channel nobody mentions that's driven more revenue for my business than LinkedIn and cold email combined: Pinterest. Yeah, Pinterest. The site where people save wedding dresses and recipes. That one. I sell home organization products (bins, labels, closet systems). Before you say "that's a visual product of course Pinterest works" ,the same strategy works for services, courses, and B2B. Hear me out. Pinterest is the only major platform that functions as a search engine where content lives for months/years instead of dy...

Hi everyone, I’ve spent the last year researching why the "luxury" abaya market feels like a scam. I’m tired of seeing brands charge £300 for "Nida" (which is usually just 100% polyester) that makes you sweat the moment you step outside. I’m starting a label called **ADNAF**, and I’m building it with zero budget because I want to focus entirely on the engineering of the clothes, not flashy marketing. I’m tackling the three biggest pain points I’ve found in the community: 1. **The "Sweatbox" Problem:** No more synthetics. I’m sourcing only natural, breathable fibers like bamboo silk and matte wool-crepe. If it doesn’t breathe, I’m not usin...

For independent gym owners, boutique studio operators, gym entrepreneurs, and personal trainers, there is one uncomfortable truth that many in the fitness industry still struggle to accept: **People do not join gyms. They join people.** Equipment matters. Programs matter. Facilities matter. But what ultimately drives a prospect to pull out their credit card is **trust in the person standing in front of them.** That is why the most successful salespeople in the fitness industry are not simply selling memberships. They are **building personal brands inside their gyms.** And when that happens, something powerful occurs. Sales become easier. Referrals increase. Retention improve...

From time to time I see posts describing loadouts and asking for advice on how to more effectively approach their load out. One of these areas is tech and tech pouches. I think one of the easiest mistakes with tech pouches is buying the pouch first, then building your kit around it. For me, the better approach has been to get the loadout right first, then pick the pouch that actually fits it. That avoids ending up with something too big, too small, or overly organized in ways that waste usable space. I’ve reduced my setup to mostly USB-C, and that made it much easier to see what I really needed. My main kit is pretty simple: • 6’ 240W USB-C cable • retractable UGREEN USB-C cab...

This is probably considered an update. To read my other posts for full context. I’ll try and summarize what I can for now for this post. So I was dating my boss at Walmart. We can call her B. We dated for several months. We had a lot of sexual tension for around five months. We had a mutual crush on each other for 17 months. She used to work for a different department that interacted with ours quite often. She swapped shifts and that’s when the sexual tension in the will we won’t we began. We got along really well there’s a ton of chemistry. We had sexual chemistry, exact same music tastes, same humor, physical attraction on both ends, and many more things. She has a three-yea...

**Hi Reddit!** **I'm the independent developer of Spanarc. After a long period of dedicated development, I’ve officially launched version 1.0.2 on the App Store.** **To celebrate this milestone and gather professional feedback, I’m giving away 500 Lifetime full-access spots (normally $12.99) to the community!** **Why I built Spanarc:** **I’ve always felt that native calendar apps struggle to visualize long-term project "spans." Spanarc bridges that gap by adding GitHub-style activity heatmaps and trend lines to your schedule.** **Full Access Includes:** * **Two-Way Sync:** Manage your system calendar events directly. * **Smart Tools:** Tags, completion markers, and ...

Sidekick told me to add 14 filters to a belly rings collection on a UK store. I checked if anyone actually searches for those things on google. 13 of them? Nobody searches for them, 0 volume, like it wanted me to add a filter for "healing stage" of the piercing, which I didn't understand. Actually, Sidekick never noticed the store was using the wrong words. The site says "9K gold" everywhere but people in the UK type "9ct gold" when they search. That's 770 people a month looking for it, and the store doesn't show up because of one wrong word. Same thing, the store calls them "belly rings" but UK shoppers type "belly bar." Si...

Hi everyone. I recently bought a MacBook Air 13 (M4), and I noticed something odd right out of the box. When I first opened it, the protective paper sheet between the keyboard and the display was stuck to the rubber gasket around the screen and left some fibers on it. I had to wipe them off with a cloth, and it took a bit of rubbing to fully clean it. Since then (and honestly I think even from the beginning), I’ve noticed the following: There is a visible gap between the display gasket (the rubber seal around the screen) and the aluminum edge of the lid. It’s not just in one spot — it appears in multiple areas. Also, the gasket has a slight “wavy” look around the perimeter. I n...

As a fan of alternative fashion, I’ve been ordering from Killstar for years. I still remember the first time I discovered the brand—I was out in town at a store when I came across a top with pagan motifs. I was instantly hooked. It was kind of a love story. Except that lately, the quality has gone downhill. Some of the designs seem to be copied from other sites, like their satin skirt with a lace insertwhich is strikingly similar to a well-known alternative site. Not to mention that I’ve gotten older. Wearing clothes covered in movie characters just isn’t my thing. To each their own. But the worst part? It’s their website. It keeps loading. And I’m not stupid—I enter my size...

Been incident responding on some supply chain compromises lately involving ML/LLM infrastructure, and want to share some patterns we're seeing that might matter for your monitoring strategies. The recent hits on package managers targeting LLM libraries (LiteLLM and others) aren't that different from what we've seen before technically, but they expose a real gap in how most security ops teams monitor third-party ML dependencies. Most shops have decent visibility into traditional application dependencies through SCA tools and advisories, but AI/ML packages? That's still pretty opaque for a lot of teams. Here's what stood out to me from incident response: First, the ...

Hi guys, I am looking for store recommendations to buy trendy shirts, t-shirts and pants/jeans for men in Nagpur. Streetwear, Korean or Bollywood celeb style. I am looking for good quality and unique prints. Not looking for cheap shirts/t-shirts.

Hi everyone, I’ve tried dozens of language apps, but most of them felt like a never-ending cycle of boring flashcards. I felt like I was memorizing words but never actually "learning" how to use them. So, I built Colt. 🦊 My goal was to move away from dry memorization and focus on context. Here is how I’m trying to bridge that gap: • Instant Context Lookups: This is my favorite part. While reading a book in the app, you can just tap any word to see its translation and meaning instantly. No more switching to a dictionary app and losing your flow. • Integrated Audiobooks: You can read and listen to books tailored to your level (A1 to C1) right inside the app. • Visu...

Question for petite people in Austria: where do you buy your clothes? For reference: female, about 1.56 m tall and \~48 kg. Most sizes from well-known brands are too big, even XS or sometimes XXS don’t fit properly. I’d really appreciate any recommendations—whether online shops or local stores with smaller cuts or dedicated petite collections. Any tips & tricks are also welcome. Thank you!
