Can I pass also an image url in the single text area for each item?

Thanks Federico, that's an interesting idea - we'll have a think about it. We're keen to keep a good balance between adding options to the text area and keeping it lightweight. Your input is much appreciated.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> minimalism > bare-minimum Hum, I don't think adding a Change your background function should be included in a minimal site.

well you've caught us on that point! but a little frivolity is ok too, right? "A little madness now and then, is relished by the wisest men" - Mr Willy Wonka.

I did not say I did not like the fact that one could change the background (in fact I like it because it doesn't go in the way), I just noted that the use of "minimalist" repeated twice in parent (now GGP) was not proper.

I don't know what your pricing model will be, but might I suggest a way for users to create a one-off online store.

I have a lot of books I'd want to sell to my friends/networks, because they'll pay me more than Amazon or EBay. While a monthly subscription wouldn't be feasible for a user like me, I'd gladly fork over $10-20 to set up a one-time-use online store.

I really, really like it. Excellent work.

Thanks. Mostly I take photos with my phone, and those are synchronized with the cloud, so my images are already in the internet and I would not have to download and re-upload those again.

Thanks Jason, that's an interesting idea. We've talked about payment models that charge incrementally for actual usage, like Tarsnap does - which would be a good fit for alot of different use cases. I think the issue though is that a flat rate per month is much more easy for people to understand.
