Hello everyone, long time lurker and first time poster ...

I hate to be the guy that posts asking for something without having given anything yet -_- ... All I can say about that is that I appreciate this forum and I take it seriously. I want to become more active in the community and actually give some value back to it.

(1) i'm not selling anything
(2) i'm not trying to advertise
(3) sorry if i'm breaking any rules, it's not on purpose
(4) I'm truly just looking for earnest and honest feedback

I am currently trying to build a tool that aims to make the process of finding products / suppliers through alibaba much easier and faster.

The idea came about because after having used JungleScout for a while, I thought that it would be nice to have something like it but for alibaba.

So following the steps of idea / product validation, I created a site to try to gather emails and see if there is enough interest to start building it

http://www.baballon.com

So what i'm asking for is your general impression of the site and idea
is this a problem worth solving ? or am I imagining that there is a problem to begin with?
If any of you are buying product through alibaba, is there anything you guys would like from a tool like this?

Thanks
