I was more referencing the typical approach that people took of supporting the top N most popular sites and increasing N as they got bigger.

It's a solid approach for hitting the majority of the market, and works fine for alerting, but this leaves a pretty big gap in the market for people who are interested in comparison shopping for more boutique items, e.g. designer male fashion get sold by piles of different boutiques, each with their own sales, etc, but the items are exactly the same, and I would really like to know when something I am interested in goes on sale at one of the 50 different stores that have this item, and I would like to know this only when they go on sale in my size, and whether it's actually cheap after currency conversion and shipping. A person can dream, right?

Shit, I would love it if there was a platform that could guess my size across various items in different brands.

I've thought of this space a bit since I buy a decent amount of clothes, but I've never gone ahead and tried to execute.
