Why the heck was bill gates' daughter ever buying shein
Anyway what I'm taking away from the article is that the app was made for the sake of making an app, so I'm not optimistic, but anything that encourages secondhand shopping is not bad imo
Yup I basically had the same feeling lol, it's a good concept however I think this idea exists already (shoptagr/karmanow)
Also, it's not that hard to dig online to see if you can get something for a better price

AI will never snipe those sorts of deals, you need to be a real :mfad: for that
The app asks for all permissions to every website you visit
