#22The site seems to be having some loading issues right now. Lots of images failing to load.

#23Nice site. The hard part is growing the user base. Have you started and how is it going?
Thanks! Yup, almost hit 10k sign-ups!
Influencers played a big part initially, giving us a boost by mentioning our platform organically.
Growth has slowed down lately, but I'm going all-in on SEO. Found a bunch of untapped, high-traffic keywords with little competition. Fingers crossed for some serious results!

Yes, sorry for that!
Unexpectedly made it to the front page of Hackernews, and now my small server is seriously being put through its paces. It's clear I need to upgrade it ASAP.

It's cool that you're doing SEO and SEM in Bahasa. On your own or with a team?

#26This is awesome, well done! I use Depop and Vinted here in the UK. We also have one called Preloved, which could be problematic. I also know some vintage clothes sellers and a lot of stock comes from Indonesia. I'm always on the lookout for specific colours and styles of vintage items. Could you open up your site Internationally somehow? I can already search using English terms. Currency conversion would be relativel…
Thanks a bunch!
I'm familiar with and love Depop! And I'm aware of Preloved too. Luckily, we're targeting different countries, so that potential issue you mentioned might not affect us.
Love the idea of international shipping! The shipping API we partnered with supports it, so it's definitely on our radar for the future. However, our current Indonesian payment provider has limitations. Credit card payments are disabled due to low usage, and the fees are quite high. Maybe we can consider implementing a minimum spending requirement for international orders?
On another note, I'll be kicking off the dev of the mobile app soon, so it might be a while before we can accept international orders.

#27I'm curious: Why Indonesia?
Is there a specific reason for sourcing from this country over others?

Doing it on my own.
I'm running the platform, along with my girlfriend.
She handles design and social media marketing, while I take care of development and SEO.
Team effort! :)

#29Great site! Had a brief look and the clothes look great.
Looks like CC isn't accepted, but bank transfer is. Curious why that is?
