Has there been a proposal to add a "Product" type to "Object" before?

I’m wondering about this question because I’d like to have a “Product” type for my object in shops.

in shops, an item represents a listing for sales, so naturally, this object isn’t of type “Note” or “Article” (although Article “might” be close enough i could use for implementation).

If i make item to be of type “Note”, it’s going to show up on mastodon or other microblog platform. i feel like it’s going to pollute the social platform, also users might want to have more control on what they prefer to render depends on the user’s primary intent.

Not that I am particularly aware of. But there are 2 online marketplaces fedi apps to take inspiration from and keep in mind to perhaps interoperate with..

I use duck typing so I will be able to see your postings even if you choose the Product type (as long as attributedTo and content / name are present).
