After scrolling a bit more down, I've noticed I can click on what I'm assuming is individual sellers, but that returns 500 internal server error.
And this thing is being sold for a billion dollars.
The disdain some people have for what is not their niche is crazy. Not everything needs to be a SAAS. It's pretty clear this is meant to be used as an app and it looks like you did your best to ignore it.
Not clear at all. I looked up the company, opened the website, and there are some "get the app" buttons, but the website does not indicate that the product is an app-first experience at all.
The submitted article even mentions it as a "shopping site", not an app. And looking at play store reviews, it doesn't look like the app is any better. It's filled with various technical issues and 1 or 2 star reviews.
So excuse me for having this crazy assumption that if something is being sold for over a billion dollars, it should at least somewhat work.
If I were Etsy, I would probably buy it for the community and marketing talent, fire every single dev and start from scratch.
Their app can't even properly show me clothes based on my preferences: https://twitter.com/dmitriid/status/1400084936372199429
It only goes to show how horrendously bad the original market was.
