CLUSTER MARKETPLACE-ARTISANS-CONNECTING · 39 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2011-11-16
Artisan marketplace platforms
This cluster comprises marketplaces connecting artisans and handmade-goods sellers with buyers, often incorporating authenticity checks, escrow, or service booking. The dated pre-index history shows two entries in April 2025 and single entries in July 2025, November 2025, and March 2026, a pattern of sporadic additions rather than a sustained build. Traction leaders by activity signal are virasat-hastkala, kaarigar-sathi, and shop-fix-shine, each at 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
