Introducing Good Goods!
In a world drowning in disposable products and fake reviews, finding items that actually last has become nearly impossible
Hey I'm Ed, a web designer from the UK. I built Good Goods as I love doing a reddit deep dive before buying anything. Picking a pair of scissors can be a 2-3 day endeavour.
When I need to buy something that matters, I dive deep. Reddit threads, forum posts, long-term user reviews. I'll spend hours tracking down people who've actually used a product for years.
This knowledge exists, it's out there on the internet, just slightly hidden in GQ top 10 whatever listicles, just ads really. There are brilliant communities like r/BuyItForLife full of people sharing genuine long-term experiences. But it's scattered across thousands of posts with no organisation.
So I built GoodGoods.ooo to aggregate this knowledge in one place. It's a directory of products that actually last, curated from real users with real experience.
I built it using open source tools: Webstudio for the frontend, Sanity for content management, and Cloudflare Workers for data processing.
Right now it covers tools, boots, kitchen items because that's where I started, but I'm expanding based on feedback. The goal is simple: save people hours of research by organizing what we already know about quality products.
The site is live. Explore it, rate products you own, and tell me what categories to add next. This is about aggregating collective knowledge to help everyone make better purchasing decisions!
Thanks to Reddit communities, especially r/BuyItForLife, for being the foundation of reliable product knowledge online!
