Show HN : I've started an online (and offline) sweetshop

I really like being able to bridge the gap between online and offline things... so in September a friend of mine and myself put together a prototype of a sweetshop concept, today we have relaunched the website with some new features and a new design..

Looks great! I'd been bemoaning the lack of local sweet shops with family over the weekend and then clicked through to find you're only a few miles away! (I'm in North Leeds)

A couple of thoughts on the site:

- I'd rather see how many pink shrimps, or fried eggs I'm getting, rather than '20g'. Even if it's just approximate.

- A more 'see through' bag would be good. I realise I could click to see the contents, but I kept getting carried away and adding too much.

- The £2.50 delivery was initially off putting, and then I realised you do local for £1 and larger orders for free.

I'm sure you'll be getting my custom :)

I like it as well although the experience on my iPad could be better. It seems that your implementation relies on mouse move events and ignores my touch-move events...

But I like the idea. :-)

I might order something once my next shipment from Candy Japan arrived. :-)

Great idea. Mixing the past with the present, even if it's novelty some of these are classics. I'm not proud of myself, since I'm supposed to be being healthy, but I just ordered some.

It's pretty sweet (no pun intended) being able to choose sweets in such an awesome fashion; and then they get delivered and you get to enjoy the sweets as well. Repeat customer, love it. :-)

I read "sweatshop" and was rather confused for a bit.

Great transition from online to offline. And everyone likes sweets.

What other things do you think could work like that?

For one second I was reading "I've started an online sweatshop"
