Thanks for the feedback on the FAQ and thoughts. Agreed that the Steam API key is sensitive data and thus all keys, user data etc are secured by appropriate encryption. Same goes for cash transactions & wallets that are handled by partners that are compliant with the financial authorities (to prevent eg money laundering). We work with the Steam APIs on a daily basis and yes some part of the documentation could be mor…

We are building Titipku ( https://titipku.com/ ) which is "Instacart" for local markets in Indonesia, where we help households to buy daily groceries from nearby local markets in their residence areas. The Covid 19 has made people unable to buy their daily needs from local markets, meanwhile merchants in local markets are also suffering and need help to sell their goods. We solved this by helping to on board all merc…

Nice to see an Indonesian startup. It's like Jastip but for groceries. Interesting.
