Sook - Your Local and Small Batch Shopping Assistant

"Sook" is a smart shopping assistant as a browser extension. It not only allows users to effortlessly search and buy products from local and small batch brands but also nudges users with similar options when they browse items on large retail platforms. As a user, you can conveniently save products you like by setting up a profile, with the assurance that 'Sook' respects your privacy and won't track or sell your data.

Installs without authorization across google accounts. Doesn't uninstall across your chrome platform. Trash app.

Several flaws: 1) it works off of your location, so since I use a VPN it thinks I'm half way across the country from where I actually am (should give us the option of manually entering location). 2) Doesn't seem to be a search function, so all I can do is browse. 3) Doesn't allow me to click on a store's name and then have it give me the physical address so I can go there in the physical world and buy the item (or just shop for similar items they might not have listed). So yeah, this is nothing like "Amazon for local businesses".
