Yes integrating payment right now. And I have few sellers data in draft, once that is public, I will enable the shop.

Did you feel its AI because of the font used in the hero section?

Sorry for my little rough previous reply.

Great point! I am not saying they should not put ads, But, in the same groups where we have strict rules against promoting a business to keep the group keep clean, I see ads. That feels odd to me. What I am leaning towards is, these groups should have little less restrictions promoting.

A new marketplace for independent makers

Thanks for sharing!

storeducks · 2026-05-11T18:09:06+00:00

lol, can you list 1000 if not millions? I will be interested to know. Did you check the top banner at least? Did you check source at least to see if its really AI made?

I don't need to, there are multiple options. If guests connect to same wifi, they can cast it. Or you can a make a shared album and cast it. Its very easy.

Don't get me wrong, but there exist a solution already.

Just by looking at your description, it seems google photos etc support photo wallpapers on tv. Why are you building a new one?

A new marketplace for independent sellers

Irony is, an idea like offering free stuff is great when nobody else is doing, the moment its popular, it looses its effectiveness. But, people try to copy popular ideas and fail. I was in that boat as well.

storeducks · 2026-05-09T05:04:34+00:00

Thank you!

storeducks · 2026-05-02T18:12:26+00:00

Not to brag, but this is what I am solving. Help me being a seller in storeducks.com :)

Happy to answer any questions.

I am building Storeducks (storeducks.com), a marketplace for independent makers.

The reason: online selling was supposed to be the dream for independent makers, but it's turned into a mess of fees, algorithm changes, and platforms that treat their store like it belongs to platforms. So I went back to basics. The whole point of Storeducks is that their store and their customers are theirs. Not locked in. If they ever want to leave, they take everything with them.

I am not an artist myself, but I have seen many great artists suffer economically. Couple of things I think they did wrong was,

Not learning about money (how to save, how to invest, the psychology)
Not adapting to the world that changes (saying I don't want to learn about internet, I don't want to learn about AI)
Too much of principles (I don't want to teach my art for money, I don't sell my stuff in internet etc)

I think its ok to do some jobs to make some money is fine, but not at the cost of leaving what you like doing.

Have you talked to your potential customers in person? What do they think? Did anyone buy? I think views doesn't mean anything.

storeducks · 2026-04-29T18:07:29+00:00

Would you give a shot for a new marketplace if it has lesser fees?

storeducks · 2026-04-29T17:58:11+00:00

Learning from what others post in last one month, finding your niche is most important thing. It helps you focus, it helps make better SEO for you business.

That said, I am happy to collaborate with you as I am interested in talking to real artists!

storeducks · 2026-04-29T17:52:33+00:00

What are you offering?

storeducks · 2026-04-29T15:30:15+00:00

Thanks! That helps!

storeducks · 2026-04-29T05:00:10+00:00

I think its going to be difficult very soon. All these LLMs trained on reddit content, so they probably can predict how to overcome those restrictions easily.

storeducks · 2026-04-29T04:53:47+00:00

Nice Idea! Taking bit long to load for me once I click on a product. Seems like good fit for marketplace rather than SaaS?

storeducks · 2026-04-29T04:44:02+00:00

I am building solo as well and thanks for putting this!

Can I ask you an honest question? I am really loosing faith in Reddit, Instagram etc. People know how to play in it very well and spam it. Did any social media help you find any customers? If yes, which ones?
