So I've single-handedly built a progressive web app that's designed to sit somewhere in between traditional ecommerce (like Shopify, Etsy, Ebay etc.) and the social networks that are pushing shop features (like Instagram, Pinterest, and FB Marketplace). Really, it's designed to help makers and "microbusinesses" get their products online and selling quickly, without having to build a website, pay extortionate fees, and navigate the minefield of SEO, SEM, and social media advertising.
I've just launched it and am attempting to attract small merchants from anywhere to sign-up and list a few products. Similarly, I'm trying to ramp up some attention from folks that just want to browse products in an Instagram-like feed.
Ultimately, I'm going to need scale if I really want to start solving the problems I'm setting out to, but I figured showing it off to HN was a good way to start getting thoughts and feedback. :)
