The Internet Vending Machine is officially stocked.
Edition 001 is live! 16 things I think are worth knowing about, using, or keeping around.
The machine will rotate regularly, with new finds moving in and old editions sticking around.
Come take a look:

Asked Reddit for feedback on The Internet Vending Machine & got it. Icons were confusing, products hard to see & the flow made people work too hard.
I've added real product images, better Vend/Product flow, & haul shows your vends. It feels much better.

Been collecting vending machine reference while building The Internet Vending Machine. So many good little details in these things.

I call this the "planning phase".
1 hour and 50 minutes until I can wildly overcomplicate something in Cursor again.

The Internet Vending Machine is starting to feel like an actual place on the internet.
New domain. A way to follow future restocks. Better product links. More interesting things trickling into the machine.

Stocking night for the Internet Vending Machine.
Added image gallery and more products tonight, including a pocket eReader, smart cooking gear, travel stuff, and a WiFi speaker.

The Internet Vending Machine is turning into a way to wander around the internet and find stuff.
Select a slot, vend it, then go see the real product, free tool, app, or whatever else I stuffed in there.
Internet window shopping, 16 slots at a time.

Caught a little snag myself, but seem to be back-ish...
User reports indicate problems with OpenAI since 8:04 PM EDT.
How is it affecting you? #OpenaiDown

Need some help stocking the machine.
What’s something you own, want, or have stumbled across that deserves a slot?
Could be useful. Could be weird. Could just be something you think is really damn good.
Throw it in the suggestion box:

The Internet Vending Machine has a working dispense bay now.
Pick something you’d want, hit VEND, watch it drop, then build out your haul.
Still stocking the machine with good stuff from around the internet.
