Practical tips on learn good techniques, do research, find the best tech companies that do similar development to yours. Check out their technical blogs, their githubs, find opensource projects which have been developed to the highest standard. Dig into them and potentially even rewrite your own simple versions to learn, maybe twin it so you could make the new implementation a part of an internal research project... so main possibilities there.
We can do better on trust by cultivating it from this caring demographic and supporting them with a fair process. Trust for example that the product you are buying is actually in the condition stated. Parents would likely pay a small premium for this.
We feel that competitors in this field have done well expanding globally but at the same time have not done enough to improve and move forwards the overall experience of buying and selling secondhand. Even as a tiny startup we feel we are already better than the market leader in some of these regards.
Lastly by targeting only parents it allows us to change and optimise the whole process for them specifically. For example we prioritise time saving features (no bidding or offers) and we can offer services that don't make sense to non parents (school clothing).
It's definitely going to happen but I don't think it will replace CPU's much like human brains can't quite replace CPU's and what they are optimised for.
Trying to make out that TinyGrad is leading the charge in this is quite self indulgent.
