Many of us look up online product reviews but don't actually read them — we just want to know what's good. So here's a site that does away with the reviews altogether: Just the good stuff.
Hi, friends!
Last year we released the Habit Stick, so we wanted to do something fun this year as well. A few thoughts behind this one:
1) Most people don't read online reviews in full. We're usually just interested in the bottom line — is it good, or not?
2) Some online reviews are affected by commissions/affiliate deals. I wanted something nice and clean that doesn't have any of that.
3) We don't always need "the best". We may think we do, but honestly, simply having something "good" is almost always enough. Besides, who's to say what's "the best" for me?
4) There are many good things in life we can enjoy without having to buy. We can't own a sunset — but it's still good and worth appreciating. Same for marsupials (marsupials rock).
And with that, I give you TryWhatsGood.com. :) Thank you for reading, and enjoy! If you have additions to the list, email contact@zsa.io with suggestions. Doesn't have to be a commercial product!

@zsa@erez_zukerman What a refreshing and interesting idea! Will look into it more. Congratulations on the launch and Happy New Year!
@stelian_dobrescu1 Great feedback, thanks Steph! Most categories have more than one option (obviously there is more than one good marsupial out there!). So when you click again, you'll get a different "good thing" (for a given category). That said, if you have suggestions for good stuff, please do let me know! Our email is contact [at] zsa.io.

Honestly, I think you should be going in the complete opposite direction.
What frustrates me most about contemporary media is that it polarizes responses. It sounds like TWG goes a step further, taking the Good/Bad vote system from Reddit/Neflix/etc and reduces it to Goodest. Regardless of the whimsical fonts and images the system is covered with, it doesn't give me any info to make an informed decision - it's just "DO THIS". And that kinda sucks. And is a little dystopian. If TWG operated at a larger scale, all it would tell me is that some company paid-to-win and got a bunch of people to upvote and get their product on The Goodest List.
Face the problem rather than just ignoring it. Instead of doing away with the so-called useless reviews, craft a new context that actually encourages useful info. Because I care about what people have to say, just not necessarily the way amazon encourages people to say it. And I want to get random suggestions from strangers and friends, not from an AI algorithm. Like, if a suggestion is purely generated digitally, that stuff rarely sticks around 'cause who really cares? It's the rando album suggestions from Uncle Joe that I end up enjoying, 'cause there's a relationship there - that's the meaningful stuff.
Nice idea. I am having a bit of trouble choosing the products though, when I click on one the prompt shows a different one, and it also needs an extra click to select. Scrolling through is also a bit imprecise. The recommended products seem pretty solid though!
@naveed_rehman Email contact@zsa.io -- there are no fees or anything, but we won't include every product obviously. "Good" is inherently quite subjective. :)
