Cool idea! One thing you should do is add some feedback when someone tries to reserve a username that is already taken. It currently just refreshes the page. I wasn't sure if it worked for me until I tried something different.

Hey guys- I made Tindie. Thanks for your support. If you have any ideas, feedback or questions, definitely let me know- emile

Have you tried reaching out to the folks at Etsy? I think they would love it if the emerging indie gadgets scene was cultivated more.

I haven't...any Etsy folks out there?

I've talked with Noah Sussman several times about selling indie electronics/hardware projects* on Etsy. He says: "Yes, game on!" (I'm paraphrasing.) He's a cool guy to know, regardless. http://twitter.com/noahsussman

And if you want to go straight to the source, you should ask for a beer/coffee with Chad: http://twitter.com/chaddickerson

* I'm potentially searching for a place to sell my "Robot that plays Angry Birds" (http://bitbeam.org/bitbeam-robots-invade-pycon). I go back and forth on whether I should roll my own store, or use a site like Tindie/Etsy/Kickstarter/Inventables, or all of the above. :-)
