Comment on Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!
Emperor@feddit.uk 1 month agoReading the post, I found what I really want right now: a federated review platform.
!neodb@lemmy.zip is a general review site. It currently covers media but, if you can get the data in (SKUs?) I can’t see a reason it couldn’t cover other products.

Thanks a lot! Bummer that it is primarily for media. I wish it had more publicity/popularity, is there any way I can help?

It’s not a bunker per se, it is just that, if you are a review platform, the easiest initial targets would be Goodreads, IMDb, etc. Other types of stuff to review may take a little longer. However, if you can get access to a source of unique IDs, it may be possible to import the information. As it is written in Python there will be knowledgeable folks around who can better advise on this. I’d suggest post about it here: !neodb@lemmy.zip. See what other people think about it.
