Title: RC Finder | Find. Everything. Post by: Devang Flyer on September 14, 2015, 09:04:07 PM Hey guys!
Today, we are finally and officially announcing our new project! RC Finder! Due to the great success of LHS Finder, we decided to step up our game! And here is the successor! RC Finder! (http://rcfinder.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/maxresdefault.png) Features further explained: Product searching: Search for almost all products and our FISH engine would fetch the prices LIVE! From many hobby shops! LHS searching: Same as LHSF, but with updated performance and a better UI! Real time product prices: As we previously stated, when a person looks for a product, our FISH engine fetches the prices LIVE! Embeddable search system: Any website can use our search system on their website! (Uses Iframe technology ) Automatic validation of products & shops: Google's ReCaptcha will take care of product and shop submissions from now on! Play & Earn: Anyone can earn money from RCF with this new feature. More details coming soon! FISH engine: FISH engine stands for finding, indexing and searching + hierarchy engine. It is the brain of RCF. It scrapes RC shop websites to find the price for a product! And then does various calculations to find the price tag, then stores it in our database and displays it to you when you search for a product! New layout: As you would have noticed by now, every new version of LHSF gets a new skin and thats no different with RCF! One page to do it all system: Our system is integrated into one webpage to use both, product search and LHS search! What other features do you want in RCF ???

Title: Re: RC Finder | Find. Everything. Post by: AL HAM SHARI on September 22, 2015, 03:29:23 PM Great can you make it an app for android and ios
Title: Re: RC Finder | Find. Everything. Post by: Devang Flyer on September 22, 2015, 03:35:40 PM Well, I surely can!
But, there's no point in launching an app till we can stabilise RCF as a website! PS: Im already an Apple dev and Google Dev so it won't be a prob! Title: Re: RC Finder | Find. Everything. Post by: Devang Flyer on December 07, 2015, 10:15:13 PM 5 days to go!
Removed product price comparison as requested by many LHSs because this might crash the RC market and might result in the ending of small LHSs and make it hard to survive for big LHSs.

Perhaps only the lowest price available could be mentioned... ;D Title: Re: RC Finder | Find. Everything. Post by: Devang Flyer on December 07, 2015, 10:45:39 PM Thats the first thing that I said,
but, here's what they told me... "See, now whenever somebody wants to buy a product, they'll go to your site, see only the lowest price and then they'll purchase it from that hobby shop, all the other hobby shops will not be able to sell it. And not every shop's landing cost of that product is same so not all can decrease the cost to match as the lowest, thus sales will decrease for all other hobby shops and eventually they'll die." Title: Re: RC Finder | Find. Everything. Post by: K K Iyer on December 07, 2015, 11:20:58 PM Perhaps only the lowest price available could be mentioned... ;D Didn't suggest mentioning the seller who had the lowest price, only the lowest price! Reminds me of about 10 years ago when my son went abroad for his postgrad. Needed a place to spend the night after arriving at Amsterdam, and before he could reach the University the next day. Found a site on the net offering a room for Euro 60 at a particular hotel. We called the hotel direct and they wanted Euro 70. When we told them that it was available at another site for less, the polite answer was: "Then please buy from there" I remember being stunned at the time. But a few years later you could find cheaper Jet flights on Makemytrip than on Jetairways site... So if you can post the lowest available price, it will be a valueable service to the buyers. Just because a vendor sources at a higher cost does not mean the buyers should subsidise him! Haven't these guys heard of something called 'competition'? Title: Re: RC Finder | Find. Everything. Post by: AshwinRwt on December 07, 2015, 11:53:02 PM +1 to Iyer ji. I personally never prefer to just see where one is getting cheaper stuff. Things like shipping charges, customer relation, customer satisfaction, after sales support etc matters a lot. I would love to see all the lhss listed with their price for any item that I search, so I can take a better decision.
