After quietly working on this for a while, I think it's finally time for a proper introduction.
Meet Blink.ng
A simple platform for shortening, tracking, securing, and organizing links.
#BuildInPublic
It's not as simple as you're making it
As someone who has had the opportunity to work in a setting where the codebase is over 20 years old and currently serves hundreds of thousands of users, coupled with working with middle management where the average age is 55
Crazy my broda
I just had a realisation.
Those awful bank apps that don't work are actually built by principal and senior engineers, 15+ years of experience, top of their career, blablabla.
What the fuck?!

Hi, I'm Adeshola. I'm currently building Blink.ng with @kingojem , a platform for shortening, tracking, and organizing links all in one place.
Been building in public and shipping new features every week.
Looking forward to following what you're building Ugo.
❤️
Brilliant tool!
I've added it to a curated page of Temu & Shein shopping resources so more people can find it:
blink.ng/fashion
90k bookmarks! Thank you @TechnicalBben 👏👏.
To help you easily get the keyword search combination, I created a tap-to-copy search word tool. Open on your phone, tap a combo, paste in Temu. You can add to home screen so it lives like an app.

Love this Adenike
I've included it in a collection of fashion shopping resources here for others:

Thanks for putting this together!
Replying to @TechnicalBben
@TechnicalBben guide on direct shopping was elite, but let’s be honest. it was mostly for the guys.
Shopping on Temu as a woman who loves a high-end, luxury aesthetic is an entirely different sport. If you don't know what you’re typing into that search bar, you will end up with a box full of shiny, plastic-feeling polyester that looks nothing like the pictures.
I shop on Temu all the time, so let me save the day for the girls.
If you want your clothes to look expensive on a budget, stop searching for generic words and start using these exact quality keywords instead:
1. Office Trousers & Blazers
Avoid: Generic "office pants" (they will be thin and feel like plastic).
Search for: "High-waist terylene trousers", "viscose blend blazer", or "heavy drape wide-leg pants".
Terylene is the secret material that makes trousers fall heavily and look expensive all day.
2. Knitwear & Tight Tops
Avoid: Basic spandex or thin nylon.
Search for: "Ribbed modal top", "viscose-knit bodysuit", or "heavyweight cotton-elastane".
Modal is a game-changer. It feels like butter on your skin, doesn't fade easily, and hugs your body beautifully.
3. Silk & Satin (Dresses & Shirts)
Avoid: 100% polyester satin (it reflects light too brightly and feels hot).
Search for: "Mulberry silk blend shirt", "heavyweight satin slip dress", or "acetate satin".
Acetate and heavyweight satin have a soft, expensive glow that looks exactly like real silk.
4. Jewelry (The Non-Tarnish Secret)
Avoid: "Alloy" or "fashion jewelry" (it will turn green before the package even arrives in Nigeria).
Search for: "18K PVD gold plated stainless steel", "925 sterling silver geometric earrings", or "waterproof titanium steel". PVD plating is vacuum-sealed, meaning you can literally sweat and bathe in it without it fading.
5. Bags & Leather Items
Avoid: "PU leather" unless you check the details (it peels very fast).
Search for: "Split leather tote bag", "suede leather shoulder bag", or "microfiber leather". Microfiber leather is a high-grade material that actually feels like real leather and doesn't crack.
6. The Sizing Trap (Shoes & Clothes)
The Shoe Rule: Temu sizes can be confusing because they mix China, UK, and US metrics. If you are buying heels or slides and see words like "elastic," "stretch knit," or "elastic strap" in the description, go one size smaller.
Stretch materials loosen up quickly, and sizing down keeps them from slipping off your feet.
Measure, Don't Guess: Stop assuming your normal size will fit perfectly. Get a measuring tape, measure your foot length in centimeters, and match it directly to their specific centimeter size chart. It’s the only way to avoid buying shoes that look like canoes.
The Clothes Rule: If you’re buying items that need a tight fit (like trousers or corsets), look for words like "elastane" or "spandex." If it has 0% stretch, buy a size bigger. If it’s a "viscose-knit" or "modal blend," stay true to your size because the fabric naturally stretches.
My Personal Rules to Separate the Gems from the Junk:
Sort by "Most Orders" first: Let other people be the guinea pigs. Only look for items that thousands of people have already bought.
The Nigerian Review Rule: Scroll down and look for reviews from Nigerians. We do not hide our feelings. If the material is rubbish, a Nigerian buyer will say it plainly in the comments.
Check the Customer Photos: If there are no real pictures in the review section showing the actual fabric under normal lighting, do not add it to your cart.
Ignore the word "Luxury" in titles: The title is just a trick to get you to click. Scroll straight down to the "Specification" tab and read the actual fabric breakdown. Percentages don't lie.
You don't need a million bucks to look put together; you just need to know how to read the description tag.

Once you learn how to shop directly from China, E.g Temù or shien your wardrobe changes completely. Call me cheap I don't care I ain't rich, I don't do fraud.😭
It's knowing what to search for.
Here's my style after making plenty of mistakes.
1. T-shirts:
Skip 100% polyester unless you're buying gym wear.
Instead, search:
• 100% Cotton
• Combed Cotton
• Heavyweight Cotton
• 240-300 GSM Cotton
• Premium Cotton
• Mercerized Cotton
The heavier the GSM, the thicker and more premium the shirt usually feels.
2. Jeans:
Denim Jeans
Temu is surprisingly good for denim if you know what to search.
Search:
• Denim Jeans
• Cotton Denim
• Raw Denim
• Selvedge Denim (if available)
• 98% Cotton + 2% Elastane
• 99% Cotton
Avoid jeans with high polyester content. The more cotton, the better they'll age and feel.
3. Body-hug clothing:
Search:
• Ribbed Knit
• Modal
• Viscose Blend
• Cotton-Spandex Blend
They hold their shape much better than cheap polyester.
4. Hoodies
Search:
• 400 GSM
• French Terry
• Cotton Fleece
• Heavyweight Hoodie
5. Chains
Search:
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Titanium Steel
• PVD Gold Plated
• Vacuum Plated
These are far more resistant to fading than ordinary fashion jewelry.
6. Earrings
Search:
• 925 Sterling Silver
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Hypoallergenic
• Moissanite (if you're buying stones)
7. Scarves
Search:
• Mulberry Silk
• Silk Blend
• Cashmere Blend
• Wool Blend
• Viscose
Avoid the shiny, thin polyester scarves if you're after a premium look.
8. Loafers
Search:
• Genuine Leather
• Cow Leather
• Full Grain Leather (rare but worth looking for)
• Rubber Outsole
9. Sneakers
Search:
• Rubber Outsole
• EVA Midsole
• Breathable Mesh
• Leather Upper
• Stitched Sole
Pictures lie a lot
The description usually tells the truth.
Here's how I shop:
1. Read the material composition before anything else.
2. Sort by Most Orders or Best Selling, not cheapest.
3. Only buy products with lots of reviews or pictures or even better when a Nigerian has purchased it before they always tell the truth.
4. Read the 1-star reviews first. They'll tell you what the seller won't.
5. Look at customer photos, not the product photos.
6. Check the weight of the product. Better quality clothing is often heavier.
7. Read the size chart. Don't assume your Nigerian size matches.
8. If the title has words like "luxury," "premium," or "designer" but the material is 100% polyester, not everything but still move on.
Your best friend isn't the product picture.
It's the material, the reviews, and the customer photos.
That's how you separate the gems from the junk.
I hope this help.
Things are to expensive for a country this poor.
