OpenVibe.Deals is the network's service for deals submitted and voted on by the community, with source, price and freshness always shown. It is at the alpha stage (roadmap Wave 18) and is deployed internally, not launched.
What it does
It normalises deal submissions and imports, keeps product and store records, and records offers with timestamped price, shipping, condition and availability observations. A price is an observation: each has a source and an observed_at time, is shown "as of" that time, and is never presented as current without a fresh observation. Votes and hotness (hot@1) are server-authoritative and deterministic. It provides duplicate merge and unmerge, watches and saved searches, moderation and abuse controls, and server-rendered pages, feeds and sitemaps useful without JavaScript.
What it does not do yet
Deals starts empty, with "no example deals, no invented prices", and imports only from sources whose terms are verified. openvibe.deals is served from its own site since 2026-10-08. Watch matches are events: they reach people once a consumer delivers them as notifications.
How it fits the network
Discussion is OpenVibe.Community's; imports come from OpenVibe.Sources; notifications are events for OpenVibe.Network. It publishes through OpenVibe.Events and emits OpenVibe.Search documents.
Status
It runs on Node 22 and Express with PostgreSQL 18 and Valkey 9, on port 4840. It is licensed AGPL-3.0.
