This is oddly specific, I like it. Why is a half loaf of bread important enough to you that you made a website for it?

It's stated on the about page:

> I love bread but I don't want to be eating 20 slices in 3 days. It shouldn't be so hard to find half-loaves of bread. They should be available more abundantly.

Based on this:

> *Available in: Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Pune

I’d begin by guessing that half loaves of bread are much more common in India than the US.

They've become more popular in Australia recently as well, I've noticed.

They had a two for one sale of half breads at one point, I was like "what is the point.."

Well market forces for half loaves can leave them with an oversupply, and it's a quickly deteriorating product, and a sale speeds up getting rid of that inventory. The only alternative is to perfectly predict the future.

Can't be that common, though, or there would be no need for the website.

You think every website is created because there is a pressing need for it?
