The story.
What is Talkshop?
A place to save products you actually care about. Find something on any website — one tap and it's in your collection. Brand, price, category — all organized automatically. No folders to manage, no tagging by hand. Think of it like bookmarks for products, except it actually works. Your collection becomes a profile you can share — a snapshot of your taste that speaks for itself.
More than a collection tool.
Saving is just the start. Follow people whose taste you trust and see what they're finding in real time. Comment on products. Compare notes on materials, fit, construction — the details that actually matter. Explore what the community is discovering across every category. This is a place for people who read the materials list before they buy. Who have opinions about why one white t-shirt is worth it and another isn't. Not influencer marketing. Not algorithms. Just people who care about the things they own and want to talk about it.
Why I'm building it.
I'm Andrew. Software engineer by day, but I spend my free time making TikToks analyzing brands and the business strategies behind them — what makes a product worth the price, the story behind the materials, why some brands get it and others don't. 2M+ views later, I realized short videos can only go so far. I wanted a place for the deeper conversation — where people can geek out over product details, compare notes on what's actually worth it, and talk about what makes things tick. Not a 60-second take. A real conversation.
To build that community, you need a foundation — a structured product database where every item is normalized, deduplicated, and connected to its brand. That's what Talkshop is right now. The saving tool isn't just step one — it's the infrastructure that makes everything else possible. You can't have meaningful product discussions without clean product data. So that's what I'm building first.
Funded by members, not ads.
Talkshop is free to use — browse, follow, explore, comment, and save up to 25 products. Pro unlocks unlimited saves, collections, private saves, discovery credit, and affiliate links — starting at $4.08/mo with founder pricing. Every product you save hits multiple services — scraping, AI categorization, image processing, storage — before it lands in your collection. That costs real money to run, and it's just me building this, so Pro memberships are what keep it going. No ads, no data sales, no sponsored content. You're not the product. That's the deal.
