TradeWeave connects Indian artisans to retailers

TradeWeave, a full-stack B2B/B2C fashion marketplace, connects Indian textile artisans directly to retailers and consumers [DevTo]. The site consists of roughly 550 lines of HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, hosted on Netlify’s free tier and served from GitHub Pages [GitHub Repo]. The marketplace offers five product categories with more than 20 items, a hover-to-flip card UI, and a responsive auto-fill grid that adapts from mobile to desktop. A localStorage-backed cart persists across sessions, while a hidden admin dashboard unlocks after five logo clicks. The B2B portal lists four Indian manufacturers with details such as MOQ, lead time, and payment terms. An AI-driven “Try-On” modal lets users upload an image to preview garments [DevTo]. Deeraj built the entire front-end in a single week, using GitHub Copilot for tasks such as generating realistic manufacturer data and fixing 3-D CSS bugs [DevTo]. Copilot produced a conditional CSS background rule in 30 seconds and rewrote the grid from a fixed four-column layout to an auto-fill pattern with a single prompt, cutting iteration time dramatically [DevTo]. Netlify’s free tier handled the live demo without scaling concerns, proving that high-visibility fashion sites do not need expensive cloud infrastructure to launch [GitHub Repo].
