It's been a long time since I've heard about OpenBazaar. I've thought it was a goner by now. Glad to know development is still on-going. What I didn't like about OpenBazaar was the terrible user experience. Particularly on mobile devices. This limits the decentralized marketplace's ability to reach widespread adoption worldwide.

With regulatory pressure increasing each day, I wonder if OpenBazaar will survive? Would you imagine someone selling illegal stuff on the platform? Developers might be held accountable for this. Particl marketplace is also on the same boat. The future is widely unpredictable, so we can only hope for the best.

I wouldn't say the development is on-going when date of first commit on Mar 27 2023 and date of latest commit on Apr 20 2023. And yes, older OpenBazaar had poor UI/UX with technical limitation seller need to be online in order potential buyer find their product/service listring..

It's something we'll need to think if OpenBazaar 3.0 launched and manage to gain popularity.
