What if products had a Nostr *NPRODUCT* instead of the usual GTIN (UPC/EAN/JAN/ISBN/etc) code?
- Manufacturers would own the digital identity of their products, for free, without be locked in the proprietary GTIN (UPC/EAN/JAN/ISBN/etc) market;
- It would be possible for buyers follow a product they own and be alerted about production problems, updates, news and suggestions;
- Nostr e-commerce/reviews apps would have a better integration for products, with a news live feed from the manufacturers;
- Manufacturers could offer a specialized customer support via DM using the product profile;
- Manufacturers could promote resellers, and possibily onboard them on Nostr;
- Manufacturers or sellers could cryptographically certify the purchase of a product to issue a warranty;
Identity attestation is easy, the nproduct is stamped as qrcode on the product or its packaging.
Let's introduce NIP-88, a PR about products classification:

Comments and feedback are welcome!
A use case Users might be interested in, and thus incentivise adoption is product reviews. Anonymous, Uncensored, reputation based, would yield genuine data, whereas now a platform can censor or a manufacturer can sue for libel.
Reviewers in the nostr ecosystem could earn an income through zaps.
It would also have a way for companies to reply to concerns and pgp sign/verify these replies and updates, embedded in the Nostr based tracking code itself.
