    Decided to build a Gumroad alternative for creators who want to sell digital products but not give up ~14% of their margins. Gumroad's higher pricing is a result of its MoR respons…

    Yeah, you're absolutely right. Even merely listing them on my site is a huge liability. And I'd be in deep trouble if someone uploaded child porn or something.

    Why can't I just build my own onboarding sequence? It's really not that hard. Plus it's free if I DIY, and I have full control over it. Data goes straight to my database instead of…
