"Hello! I'm Collis, in 2006 I cofounded Envato, the company behind ThemeForest, CodeCanyon, and Tuts+."

Never heard of any of them. Or Envato. What are they?

I noticed that Envato hosted an Elixir meetup. Have you guys been using it in production? If so how has it worked for you guys?

basically a marketplace for developers to sell products. I think they started with themeforest which basically website templates/wordpress themes, now they have tons of other sites which include things like sound effects, stock video, etc.

Whoops, viewing from a mobile app so didn't realize it was a link to the AMA. Ignore me :)

The President of the United States chooses to use Reddit for their IAMA post. This guy wants us to use his Wordpress website? No thanks. Seems like a scam to collect data on us and that's No Bueno.
