Supamarket

Why are you participating for Based India?

I was looking to sell one of my digital product "How to post Banger on Reddit". I listed on the web2 platforms but I didn't saw any way to sell it to the web3 frens and get paid in crypto. Plus I like like basename so I wanted to showcase my product on my basename and Frame would be a good way to do so.

Therefore to solve my own problem I created a platform to sell digital products within 1 click as a Frame. To build this product I needed some motivation and momentum (I am a master procrastinator) therefore I joined this hackathon.

What challenges are you focusing on?

"Its easier to build then Sell"

I'm addressing the critical selling and exploration issue faced by small-time creators and builders across India

Creators face Challenge to sell out their product. There is a whole graveyard of products which never see a ray of Sunlight. Plus Creators gets paid a lot less When Adding their product to a marketplace like Gumroad.

These Are the challenges I am focusing on

How does your submission address this challenge?

Its more likely to sell products on social media. Therefore Creating something that will pop in your audience feed is more important.

On Supamarket, creator will list their Products and share the Link to it on warpcast and other Frame Supported farcaster clients. It will pop up as a Frame which a user can buy directly from the frame (thanks to transactional frames) itself. And will receive the digital product as a Direct Cast.

This is boost creators product impression and Farcaster being a protocol more clients will show the product. And more chances of Creator selling their product to its audience.

Also creator can pin its product Frame on basenames and promote the product.

Overall its an attempt to increase the onchain economy.

Challenges we ran into

I am new to Frames development. but its a cool feature. Therefore I was not familiar with the related libraries to build frames. Tried multiple libraries including framesjs, frog but at last I started to understand the Onchainkit from coinbase and built frame using that.

Another Challenge I ran into was I wanted to secure the users Product Files. Read a lot about it and found out about Cloudflare r2 Presigned URL. So which is basically when the user uploads their files/vides/pdfs to sell they will be stored in the Cloudflare r2 private bucket. no one can access it and can only be unlocked with the Presigned Url when a user buys it.

So yeah these were the 2 challenges I face During the hackathon.
