Hi HackerNews!My name is Kayleigh and I am the founder of NextBest, making it easy to see what people recommend online starting with skincare based on reddit.After working in big tech (Snap, Tiktok) the past five years, I founded NextBest because every time I want to buy something I search "best [x] reddit".While I am starting with skincare based on reddit, I do want to expand it to more sources and verticals.Would love any feedback you guys have!
