Our programmers enjoy experimenting with new technology from time to time. For example, someone has been working on so-called "recommendation software" with which you can make recommendations. In our case, this concerns recommendations for new things to be discovered within your own collection area.

For example, if you collect comic books, we can make suggestions for comic series that you do not have yet based on your collection. We do this by looking at what other users who have similarities with your collection collect and buy. For example, suppose you have the Blueberry series in your collection and it turns out that many people who collect Blueberry also collect the Redbeard series, and you don't have that series yet, you can get a recommendation for Redbeard. These types of analyzes are of course completely anonymous.

We have made a first version that works for three categories: for comics, books and records. For comics we make recommendations based on the series, for books based on the author and for records based on the artist.

If you collect comics, books or records you can view your recommendations by going to your own collection. At the top right, a new link "Recommendations" will appear if you are in one of the three previously mentioned sections.

If you look at the recommendations, you will see that there is a cross next to each recommendation. This allows you to click away a recommendation if you know the recommendation and find it irrelevant. You will get another one in its place. If you click on a recommendation, you will be taken to the relevant series, author or artist in the catalog.

Even if you look at the marketplace you can check your recommendations on the homepage of the marketplace under headings like "Comic Series You Probably Find Interesting". The recommendations in the marketplace link directly to the offer on the marketplace of the series, author or artist in question.

You can of course only see recommendations if you are logged in.

We are very curious what you think of the recommendations received. Do they seem to tie in with what you would expect in terms of tips for series, authors or artists to be discovered? All feedback is welcome so that we can further 'train' the software to provide the correct recommendations.

First short impression is "nice those recommendations, only 70 pieces is a bit much"

To explore other comics whether they are also fun for me, the list of choices can be a little shorter

For example, if I take a bunch to compare which one I like best to also start collecting, I have enough material for comparison with about 10

I can't say it really matches my collection. Nice to see that "Arwin" (Miranda Blaise) is also there.

It could also be that I don't understand my own collection;)

It doesn't work for me either. All got recommended porn comics. I have the impression that these kinds of games can be played better if each book also has a theme / genre / drawing style. Then you get a better insight. Around 2020, that is. And then I am still positive. (;-)

Got all porn comics recommended

If only I were so happy ;-)

I get a lot of comix, while I don't collect any comix at all. Could that be because of a link with video games?

Revisited after a long time, those recommendations.

No idea what the point of that is.

That all other collectors apparently have a lot of porn comics in their collection I find disturbing rather than nice to know.

From the moment you have one Suske en Wiske in your collection, are you then linked to all collections that have them?

It would be nicer if the recommendations had a link to your own collection instead of others' collections. Same publisher, same artist, same time period, pre-publication in the same magazine, same genre, same theme, ...

Then you might come across something nice.

But now it's a random list that you don't care about.

All feedback is welcome so that we can further 'train' the software to give the right recommendations.

My suggestion is to review the suggestions again and spend more time on them. Judging by the large number of responses, there is little interest in recommendations.

PS it still says NEW! at, we are almost a year later.

@JozefK,

Thank you for your feedback. We already had the impression that in many cases the recommendations do not fit well and there is not much improvement. We are going to see if we should continue with it.

And that New must indeed go away anyway.

Also have a look at the Recommendations ... surprising ... But there is a red cross next to the images, so you can remove them ... so not, after clicking the red cross, they will appear again another place (order) will appear again ...

But still a good option, which will probably be improved in the future!

By the way very happy with My wish list, you are coming something against, set it to My wish list, and you can view it again later ... also ideal is that items are also displayed in the shops via My wish list!
