I really have to admire Zed's use of all things lean here. It looks like a bare-bone site with no architecture to speak of, but there seems to be just enough content to create a compelling value proposition. This is an MVP if I've ever seen one. With just a couple hundred words of plain text, he can actually test whether there's a market or not. Very inspiring.
That being said, the name could be a deal breaker. In fact, it almost makes me think that the whole thing was put together tongue-in-cheek. It just screams "a place to buy a bunch of low quality junk."
- ojbyrne 16y agoFunny, because my first thought was "wow, awesome domain name. How was that not taken?"
- zedshaw 16y agoThat's the idea, just put it up and see if anyone gets it. I was thinking the name screamed, "The internet's dollar store!" But yeah, then I liked it.
- gjm11 16y agoA dollar store where serious sellers are meant to be identified by having paid a tax of >= $1 per item (for the image)? I hope you don't mean "dollar store" too literally.
- friendstock 16y agoyes, great MVP!
- jessor 16y agoI think the name might just work great because of that tongue-in-cheek.
- mayanks 16y agoonly to catch your eye. I can imagine it dying down quietly after the initial 'wow wow'
