Nice. But can I ask what motivated you? I don't see any affiliate details in the links - do you monetise at all?

Wanted to play with typesense.

The tech behind building something like this isn't hard. Marketing and traffic is. No point in monetizing with no users.

It looks like from the "become a merchant" you can directly boost your products which I assume will prioritize them and hence drive more traffic to your Shopify store
