Neat !

A quick suggestion : maybe make products items in the list a link instead of a div with JS onClick event (or adapt the event), so that we can open them up in a new tab instead of having to click, view, and then go back to the main list ?

I'm used to opening all the stuff that interest me in a new tab and continue scrolling, then look into them once I've finished the list. Maybe other people do it too :)

(Neither against the makers of this website.)

But many a front-end devs these days seem to have skipped basic HTML altogether! Recently, there was https://htmlforpeople.com

Start with the default HTML, and then add the ornaments on top.

This is by the way a pet peeve of mine. I see this all the time, and can't understand why people won't keep the default functionality of a simple link.

(No offense meant to the creator of the website we're discussing. It's the general trend of replacing fault tolerant browser defaults with JS that can break or removes standard functionality that bothers me).

oh that's a great idea! Thank you!
