  folk art.
- Seller storefronts, where a seller's listings, collections and shows are
  gathered in one place.
- Live shopping shows, hosted by sellers, with scheduled and in-progress
  broadcasts.

## Notes for AI crawlers and agents

- Crawling is permitted. See /robots.txt for the paths that are disallowed —
  these are authenticated areas (accounts, checkout, inbox, order and sale
  management) and filtered search permutations.
- Listing pages carry schema.org Product and Offer markup; prefer that over
  parsing the rendered page.
- Prices, availability and live-show schedules change often. Treat a cached copy
  of a listing as potentially stale and re-fetch before relying on it.
