I built a webapp to filter out third-party sellers and knockoff brands from eCommerce platforms.
It's kooky, it's clunky, and it's driven over $2000 in sales in under 30 days. Used claude code for development and I'm running a stack that costs <$10 per month.
$0 in advertising, my only traction came from a handful of posts on reddit.

What stood out to me is that you're not helping people find products—you're helping them trust what they're buying.
That's a much stronger problem to solve. If people start opening your site because they want confidence rather than just search results, you've moved into a very different category than product discovery.
Wow, I just saw Josh Pigford launched a very similar product literally yesterday - knockoff.shopping.
It only proves the problem.
