The story.
Why Talkshop exists, and what we're building together.
What is Talkshop?
A place to save products you actually care about and say what you think about them. Find something on any website — one tap and it's in your collection. Brand, price, category — all organized automatically. Then write a take: an in-depth, authored review grounded in real ownership. Your collection becomes a profile of your taste, and your takes become the product knowledge that helps others decide what's worth it.
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. Write takes on things you own — the kind of deep, specific product reviews that actually help someone decide. Compare notes on materials, fit, construction — the details that matter. 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.
No influencer marketing. No algorithms. Nobody here is building a personal brand. People write takes on things they own, and if someone finds what you wrote, it's because they searched for that product and your opinion was worth reading — not because you played any kind of game to get it there.
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 powers Talkshop. The saving tool and product pages aren't just step one — they're the infrastructure that makes everything else possible. You can't have meaningful product discussions without clean product data. So that's what I built first. Now we're layering on the opinions.
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, and more. 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.
