If we really want better we gotta communicate about it to see how it can be done

Wanted to open this conversation because we could really use an Open Source app that partners with websites and stores so they can display any of their products on the app for people to buy

Suggestion: Would be a 10,000 IQ move if say KDE and KDE Community make one since it can be a passive income in a way from making/hosting the app for people to use. The money gained can be used to fund the devs, their KDE/other projects, and other open source projects. Edit: That way it adds onto the already existing sources of funding, and can lead to growth all over

Maybe one app from KDE. One from GNU/Linux. Etc

Technically that's what Amazon is in a way no?

Then for USA partner up with FedEx/USPS (Whichever is better). Spitballing here with all this

I just want to set my preferences. I want to say "only show from these countries if nothing else is found and warn me", set open hardware first, for IOT stuff show homeassistant compatibility, prefer community coops over worker over sole propriter over public over private equity, prefer union over non-union, prefer diy friendly, prefer locally sources, prefer regenerative agriculture, warn of internet requirements, warn of non free software, etc etc

Like the market is made to be absolutely opaque on stuff like that.

Like have them like Blue sky and now Mastadon has with their feed starter packs. Have an optional question are, let me send up or sign up to a boycott channel.

A bazare to eBay to Facebook marketplace bridge would be big too if you had a shipping/oracle support.
