Re:What’s the last product you bought online? on Saturday October 02, 2021 @09:41PM (#28733829)
I’m just fed up with fake product reviews. Most of the time it either takes all day and multiple searches to try to sift through the fake reviews. Then when I finally make a decision and the product arrives I’m disappointed once again in the quality. So, I went on a mission to try to solve this problem. And 56 wireframes later, I can’t wait to launch this app.

You’re absolutely right! Thanks for the feedback.

Alright! Sounds like Nike, I’m in.
You’re absolutely right it really does depend on the content they create. I plan to start meeting with creators in the product review space to speak with them about what model would better support the work they do and value they bring.
Thanks for your feedback. I guess I should clarify Patreon, OnlyFans and possibly even Gumroad were built with creators in mind. But, the platforms I listed are just now realizing the “value” of creators. I read today that Facebook is planning on giving 1B to “Influencers” https://www.forbes.com/sites/abrambrown/2021/07/14/why-faceb...
You’re welcome!
If you’re building something that people need and you’re solving a problem then I would say don’t give up. Things always seem impossible at the start. When Kevin & Mike built Instagram they started with a motto of keeping things simple. Connect with developers on Twitter many of them are building in public and are happy to help or point you in the right direction. Also, start researching angels and VCs in your space. See who also invested in your competitors. Hope this helps:)

Thanks! Do you have any apps you’ve done that you can share?

Thanks for the heads up! Not creating anything remotely like theirs.

Any badass developers here perhaps willing to join me as a co-founder and want to take on Instagram? I’m building a social network community for shoppers and monetization for content creators.
