Shopaholic: One Page, Many Stores
Shopaholic puts pieces from many stores on one page, already chosen. A curator who enjoys the looking does it once, and the person who has no time for it opens a single link.
Problem
Understanding the challenge and user needs
Shopping well costs time in the looking, not the buying: a dozen tabs, a different language and currency on each site, and nothing saved when the browser closes.
Approach
Strategy and methods used to address the problem
Each piece shows a photo, the brand, the price, the colorway, and the other colors it comes in, and nothing else. Titles read in English with the store's own wording beneath, and prices lead with an approximate dollar figure. Filters by brand and color and a sort by price work across every store at once.
Final Solution
The final design and outcome
The page runs on plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no framework, no build step, and no server. A heart saves a piece to a list kept in the visitor's own browser, so there is no account and nothing leaves the device. Adding a piece takes one pasted product link.
Impact & Validation
Results, learnings, and outcomes
A static page costs nothing to run and loads anywhere. The same code gives each person a list of their own.
