I made a small supplier database for buyers to share supplier experiences (no sign-up, free, no ads)
Developer built a free, no-sign-up supplier review site to help buyers verify Alibaba vendors and share experiences.
Hi all,
I noticed a lot of useful supplier info gets lost here.
People ask if anyone has worked with a certain supplier, someone answers, maybe shares a good or bad experience, and then a few weeks later it is buried. Same questions come up often.
Trust on Alibaba is also not always very transparent. It is quite difficult to know who you are dealing with, the scale, quality etc. So as a small side project this weekend I coded up a very simple supplier log:
Not vibe coded. No sign-up, no ads, free, no paid listings.
The idea is that buyers can leave a short note about suppliers they actually worked with, good or bad, so the next person has something to search before sending money or ordering samples.
I am trying to keep it factual and simple:
- who you worked with
- what you ordered
- how communication/quality/delivery went
- whether you would work with them again
It is basically empty right now, so I wanted to share it here and see if this is useful to anyone, or if the form is missing something important.
Would be happy to maintain it if there is interest!
