Is there a webplatform for searching the items of local shops? (fedia.io)

Lets say I'm in a city and want to buy a specific item or a specific category of items.
It would be nice if there is a website which lists all the items (or at least their more granular categories) of all the local shops in my area.

To be clear, I don't mean an onlineshop; I still want to go there physically. Just something like of a catalogue for all shops in a specific area.

Interesting. As shown in a comment below, it will be difficult for existing shop operators to integrate such a system.

But if your project gets track I see nothing preventing me to create adapters so my service can consume the stream (well, if I really am going to build it).

At least in the cannabis industry here, they have a piece of software that they use to submit their inventories to the state. My current plan is to look into incorporating my system into that so I get accurate reports that are required by law to be done anyway.

I’d love to discuss further the pitfalls of my idea and any special considerations I might need to make.
