@verkalets Hi Ivan, thank you very much for the compliment and we also share your concern.
We certainly have thought about the idea of Instagram adding a similar feature as it would be silly not to do so. However we believe that the only way they would be able to do so is if they do something similar to the FB Marketplace. However if I can refer you to the response I gave to @bentossell it outlines our views on the issues that surround models similar to the FB Marketplace.
An alternative scenario is if Instagram were to implement a system similar to our own. The more we think about this scenario the more we think Instagram won't do this. It would require such a substantial shift in their business model, apps and website that we feel confident enough to pursue our idea.
All the best,
Josh
Hello Hunters, my name is Josh and I am the Co-Founder of Mula. I am pleased to say this is my first product I have created that has made it onto Product Hunt - I couldn't be more excited!
Mula is an Instagram styled marketplace that makes buying and selling your own products incredibly simple. We’ve integrated social features into our marketplace that allows users to like, follow, comment and message interesting users, influencers and brands.
We decided to create Mula as we found current mobile shopping experiences frustrating and clunky. Our drive to use the latest technology such as Apple Pay and our obsession with UX has lead to the creation of a product that we think is truly unique.
I’ll be here to answer any questions that you may have so please do ask away!
