First product built :) would love some feedback!
Hey Guys! Taahir Isaacs here - I’ve been around these parts for some time and finally took the leap to build my first product.
Tinytrader is an online marketplace for South African micro/home-based businesses and allows just about anyone to create a storefront for their (tiny) business. Potential customers get to find businesses near them and connect directly with the business via WhatsApp.
The aim here was to bridge the gap between how South African micro/home based businesses are currently doing business and elevating that by using an online platform for discovery.
I currently have a few alpha testers using the site and the feedback from them and their customers have been fantastic.
Bare in mind, bugs will be found :) but hey I finally got something out!
Looking forward to your critical feedback.
This is a great idea. Something like yellow pages for WhatsApp -)
What is your plan getting traction for it?
Hey @mkrn :) you hit it right on the head - I had this idea to utilize “WhatsApp-as-a-database” as a way for home business to promote/market their products/services easily.
For now, this makes the business owner my ultimate marketing tool/champion, as their potential customers via WhatsApp could become potential users of TinyTrader.
I’m still focusing my efforts on the few users that are currently using TinyTrader and making the product work well for them before venturing out into marketing to a wider audience.
Thanks for the comment!

Hey @balban :) thanks for the feedback - I’m definitely going to be tweaking the empty states of the categories so that it doesn’t look as bare as it does right now.
Thanks for the comment!
