Show HN: Beander, a platform for micro-roasters (opens in new tab)

I am a micro roaster myself an I will say that there is a huge need for me to find quality coffee in quantities that are manageable for my equally "micro" side business. I think that the homepage does not do a great job of describing the service or who it is for. I could see some simple images and text or a video replacing the actual product on the homepage. Details about each of the beans is also lacking. Do you guys have coffee experts on the team? The "About Us" page is very ambiguous..looks like a bunch of tech guys. I am excited to see where this goes!

Not much of a platform if all it does is trying to sell beans. There's barely any info about the beans or discussion around them..

Barely a MVP.

I had a similar idea a year or so ago that I never worked on. It was more focused on helping micro roasters sell their roasted beans in a subscription service than helping micro roasters get beans to roast, though. I never really validated the idea with micro-roasters so maybe what you're trying to do is better.

Is Beander managing the warehouse that "can repackage coffee into smaller bags, bundle orders – even from multiple importers with holdings in the warehouse – and handle shipping details"? If not, how did Beander convince the importers to do so if it wasn't advantageous for them to do it beforehand?

What does "per bag" even mean? There's no weight (or mass) listed. If you're thinking that "bag" means "regular 1lb (or insert metric equiv. here) bag" and the first thing you see is $110/bag, it's quite the shock.
