Have done a lot of scraping in my life, and I'm super excited about what Hugues and Max have built. I tested a super early version and was surprised how well it worked.

Coming from a former communist country, I don't understand why smart, capable people want to give away their money to a corrupt, incompetent state to manage it for them. The US is fundamentally different than Nordic countries, where so

We simulate what a shopper would do. We first go through your affiliate link (which drops a cookie) and then go on the retailer website to place the order. All the commissioning, connecting/talking to retailers, receiving the money, is
