This was my noob submission to HN. I appreciate the helpful feedback on Mistash and have started to make some changes. I think next time I will have to post earlier in the day to HN to get more eyes. Thanks again everyone!
I'm also unclear about what it's all about without signing up. Is the general idea that you can see people's reviews about products and keep a catalog of stuff you own and want?
Yup. For now, it combines a personal inventory, your wishlist , and various social features. The idea being that you can discover new products, share your tastes, and get higher quality reviews from the people you know.
I used to have a high fashion blog, and I would have probably found it valuable to curate my trending wishlists and to show off what I've bought and where from.
It's kind of like a clever way of showing off what you own without bragging
Does seem that way lately. However, I do think Mistash has a better focus on the social aspects than the others and is also going in the best direction for a product focused system. Plus, it's more fun :P
