By uniting selected online Sneaker Shops on one platform, Searchin helps you save time and discover new Sneaker Shops and trends worldwide that were yet unkown to you. After months of of development finally back again - bigger, faster, better, stronger. Right now we have reached more than 14.000 sneakers and over 70 sneaker shops worldwide. Let us know what you think!

@athadi I start building the same for the kayak/canoe industry. Can you tell us more about your tech stack and how did you get all the 14 000 products ? Thanks !

@matthieuhelary @athadi The easiest (and most common) way to get the products is by using the given product feeds of the shops and check them periodically. Unfortunately not all shops offer these feeds, so we decided to develop our own crawler. We are crawling each shop up to three times a day, to keep the products as up-to-date as possible. We're using PHP (Laravel + selected Symfony components) in the Backend and Vue.js in the Frontend (in example for the Instant Search).

@helloiamlukas Professional curiosity: looks like you're not using Algolia to power your Instant Search, but the implementation is great so I can't gripe much. What did you end up using to power Search? @matthieuhelary @athadi

@_jacksmith hmm, i can't reproduce this... do you have cookies disabled? do the prices still show up in euro if you click on usd again?
Jack Smith
@helloiamlukas i don't have cookies disabled. if i click usd, then it does change to usd currencies

I love the idea 😀. This is a great way to find more shops online. I also get an error message when I try to open the website.

Who needs a sneaker site that has all the popular sneakers sold out. Mind as well just go to ebay. As an avid sneakerhead this was a let down.

@youngfonz This site has been made for "normal" customers who don't know where to get their pair of sneakers. Sneakerheads like you who search for limited editions 1. know where to get them 2. uses ebay, klekt.in, womft.co, forums, facebook, etc. and buy them from reseller.

You already made a launch no? the traction had not be good ? I see on https://www.similarweb.com/websi... that 93% of your traffic comes directly, how do you get your users?

@aklionet Yes we already launched our search engine some in 2015. But it wasn't good enough to go ahead. So we planned our relaunch the last half year.

@athadi i like the idea, maybe we can help you financially, are the shop fair for paying the commission or not really ?

I like the idea and the execution a lot. Obviously there a a lot sneaker images on the site. How do you handle the licensing for them? Do you just take the images from the shops? Did you get permission to do so as part of being an affiliate?
