The Hidden Cost of an Unmoderated Marketplace
By Rune Works

Fully open marketplaces feel generous until you account for the time buyers waste vetting low-effort listings. That cost is real, it is just paid by customers instead of the platform.
Open Does Not Mean Free of Cost
Moderation moves that cost upstream, where one reviewer can save thousands of buyers the same wasted hour.
Moderation as a Service
Review is not gatekeeping for its own sake; it is a service to everyone downstream. CurateOS treats it that way.
Stay in the loop
New drops, curator picks and product updates — straight to your inbox.
SUPABASE READY BOUNDARY
Connect real auth, upload storage, and approvals when you are ready.
The Framer build defines the public marketplace, CMS model, submission experience, and admin UI. Supabase would power Google/email auth, storage, row-level security, and review actions.
