Autumn — Swipe to shop across +5,000 online stores
Sick of going to hundreds of different sites to shop for clothes, home, and gifts? Autumn helps you browse thousands of online stores through swiping—it's like Tinder for shopping.
As you swipe, the app recommends new items and stores based on your taste.

Congratulations on the app. I'll be honest, this is something I've been thinking about for a while. As we move more towards a marketplace experience I feel like the online shopping experience has become too cluttered and messy, instead of being tailored and curated.
Amazon has a lot of "crap" products, and the local competitors in my country are following suit. So it's sifting through a lot of garbage instead of looking at a handful of cool products.
I tried out the app with wall art and it was interesting to see how quickly it changed and started giving me suggestions I liked. Might have to buy something now!
I feel like the challenge will be to not fall down the aliexpress/wish path of products.
Good luck!

@vladyslav_c we've very aware of the quality, the focus now is on finding "branded" retailers and well reviewed items...moving forward, relying on users to "hunt" the best of DTC brands/stores...Instagram has so much suction for retailers like this, but ultimately they tax on traffic, which makes business not sustainable or scalable for a lot of brands. We're hoping this will replace what department stores (destination shopping as opposed to social) used to be, not that many are going to go out of business.
Love the UX! Seems super smooth and fun to use + nice curation of quality products. Excited to see where this goes!
Thanks for the hunt @kevin!
Hey everyone, it's John from Taste (Yes! The movie recommendation app)...Justin and I spent our entire COVID time developing this shopping version of the Taste app—it was a beast to figure out how to fetch millions of products into the DB and keep them organized...much much harder than movies & tv shows I'll tell ya!
Give it a spin, but it's the same idea: swipe & rate the things you like and we match you with more items that you'll like. The algorithm is still based on collaborative filtering, which correlates likeminded users. So obviously, the more users/swipes we get, the better everyone's rex will be.
Hopefully this makes online shopping a little more fun and cuts down the hustle of have to go from store to store to look for things.
Hey! This is super cool! I'm curious as to where you find the information about these items on your app? Moreover, do you plan on adding in-app checkout to make it easier to buy items?
Hi John and Justin! I’m Chris Moody and I made Style Shuffle, which is similar but smaller scale app at stitch fix. See: https://qz.com/quartzy/1603872/h... I’d love to chat and see what y’all are doing with the data!
Congrats guys! I've been a Taste user since the beginning and have loved the functionality - I'm psyched you guys got the shopping app out! I'm downloading it now - I'll will try it out and let you know my thoughts soon! Good luck!
Congratulations on your launch! Great job guys, awesome branding! How do you select the shops featured in your app?
@jasmine_cole ahh understood. Yes, it’s all kinds of stores for clothing, accessories, home decor, furniture, and kids... here’s a select list of stores: https://www.shop-autumn.com/stor...
@jasmine_cole @john_juan_lin Cool, Thanks John, That's exactly what I was looking for! Great you considered that users can add shops as well!
@julien_favre1 Thanks Julien, we're working on the gift ideas section and that should expand 10x over the next week or so
