Trade Me Bro is the lightest microsite in the workspace, but it is still a useful part of the archive because it shows a different kind of build: not a ritual site or desktop sim, just a direct storefront mock with category filtering and product cards.
The JavaScript is intentionally small. Filter buttons show and hide products by category, an empty-state
message appears if a filter would leave nothing visible, and each buy button looks up a SKU in a
STRIPE_LINKS map before falling back to an alert-based placeholder.
What Is True About The Current Checkout Flow
The store is Stripe-ready in the simplest possible sense: the code is already structured so each button can redirect to a payment link once those URLs are filled in, but right now the fallback behavior is still the explicit "checkout coming soon" alert.
That makes the site honest as a mock. It is not pretending to have live commerce when it does not, but the implementation path toward real links is already laid out in the code.
Why It Belongs In The Archive
This project is smaller than VCR or Arcade, but it rounds out the workspace. The shared dev log should show the lightweight experiments too, not only the biggest engineering sessions.
