My pet peeve: people calling it "Bahasa". It's called Indonesian. Or "Bahasa Indonesia". Bahasa just means "language". Do you also ask people if they speak "langue" if you want to know if they speak French?
Indonesians themselves call it "bahasa". I guess the user you responded to is either Indonesian, or has been there.
Looks good, how did you get your initial content on there? Did you reach out to some influencers or used your own local network? Are you also tapping into other Indonesian sites like tokopedia or the gojek/grab economy? Edit: It looks as if you are getting data from instagram. Is that correct?
Thank you! All the content is user-submitted, and we rely on Instagram and Twitter for traffic. Some influencers spread the word and it really got things rolling. We're actually competing with Tokopedia and Shopee, but they're not exclusively for second-hand clothing, although it's allowed there. We reached out to some sellers and found the turnover rate to be high, but it requires a lot of effort. For pickup and del…
wow this is great job! Congrats. Curious if you can share your tech stack for this? Did you use any headless commerce to speed up development?
Thank you! I've used VueJS/NuxtJS/Tailwind for the frontend and a NodeJS/ExpressJS/Postgres backend. I've developed everything custom and didn't rely on a headless commerce solution.

it's amazing you built a complex marketplace/commerce site all from scratch. big kudos! if you ever do a paid course on your development, I am more than happy to pay!
Best way to learn imo is to just start with an idea and tackle one task at a time. Before you know it, you'll have a fully functional and impressive creation on your hands
How do you automate sorting clothes? I assume you're getting huge piles of random stuff.
I've added categories, subcategories, brands, colors, and sizes for users to customize their listings. Thankfully, most users are putting in a lot of effort, so moderation isn't a big issue in this area.
I set up a Telegram bot to notify me whenever a new listing is added, which helps me stay on top of things quickly. :)

If you did have to sort clothes from bags though you would probably just do it manually to start with, and if you had to scale up you would probably empty the bags onto a belt conveyor and then have people manually pick and sort into different containers, then put those containers through inspection phases or different disposition routes (ie only a small portion will contain clothing worthy of sale on an apparel site, some will be stained and need to go through a different sales channel, there will be bags of junk or bedsheets that need to be sent for shredding to become industrial rags etc)
I'm curious: Why Indonesia? Is there a specific reason for sourcing from this country over others?
Literally tons of used clothing gets sent here. Indonesia is not very green but technology like this can help address that
