I've been part of the LEGO buying, selling and collecting community for a
year or more. and I see the same questions over and over on Lego facebook
pages etc. People trying to identify Lego pieces or sets. The general answer
people are given is to try google lens. I use google lens myself but it is frustrating
not being able to filter the results by the term "Lego" sometimes results are
totally inaccurate for this reason. I know its a bold statement but in all my
observation I think i can speak for the entire Lego community when I say we would
love a bricklink app that combines a google lens type function for Lego and the
ability to head straight to bricklink without a browser. I have so many tabs
open in my browser for bricklink. i need to go their so often throughout the
day and now as I've just upgraded to seller i would love to get notified
if i made a sale or received an order. any chance something like this is already
in the works? if not can we start a petition to Lego or something like that?
