    Hey HN!

    I've been hacking on Instadrop for a few weeks now. It's a platform to discover and share things you love - tech, media, apparel, etc.

    It's an exploration into what product discovery might look like given that Amazon is plagued by fake reviews and we're constantly being bombarded by targeted advertising from FB, Google, etc.

    I've always relied on trusted sources (e.g. Wirecutter) and word of mouth recommendations when it comes to discovering great things. This is an attempt to replicate that process on a larger scale.

    Anyway, I would love to get your early feedback on the idea! It's very early days - the product database is definitely incomplete, and tons of features are missing. :)

    This is pretty neat. I appreciate the exploration aspect and the search is well featured.

    I would also wrap all the product links with the 2FB API to expand the social aspects. https://github.com/egfx/ShareableTweets
