Hi @timscullin, great product ;) How do you make sure that the items listed are still available and their price is up to date?

@kacper_staniul It is tricky, AliExpress have an API but it's a bit buggy so we have a few other processes that attempt to keep things up to date.

I despise the immediate login prompt. It seems unnecessary for a site like this to try and collect an email or account upfront before ever even seeing the website. Many will likely not even notice the "Browse as a guest" text in light gray at the bottom of the screen. Massdrop pulls this too and it's an annoying barrier.

Overall great idea with a good selection of products. Execution is lacking as the site loads very slow

Pros:

great selection of products, reviews of products

Cons:

site loads very slow, some links are broken

It's not because it works in one browser that you can ship it broken in the others.

Pros:

Looks cool, products looks actually nice, better experience than Aliexpress

Cons:

Just don't work, I can't go to the website in Firefox

Pros:

Cons:

Would be nice to see who has bought something to attest to quality of actual product over "good marketing photo" (especially when the product may take 6-8 weeks to arrive)

Also what about taobao?

I enjoy Alibaba, but it can be convoluted. Having a platform like this really helps. Thank you!
