We were surprised by this as well, but since one didn't exist, we started to create one!

We still have a long ways to go, but you can search for items and filter based on things like category and distance (if you are trying to shop locally). We're doing things on a very tight budget at the moment, so sometimes the site goes down, but we're working on it :)

If you have any feedback, we would love to hear it.

Is it broken? It just says "An error occurred" when I typed "Plushie" and then "Fruit"
Yep, it just went down. We've been using spot instances, and those are hard to come by around Black Friday. I'll look into it.
back up!
Interesting! Could you explain how did you manage to find sites and how can you know where are they based?
Right now, we gather location data from the pages themselves. Some shops (not many) include an address. The process is very error-prone though, so our accuracy in this area is likely not where we want it to be. We are working on other ways to improve that.
