Add Gumroad? It started out as a Show HN weekend project and I release the numbers every month: https://mobile.twitter.com/shl/status/1083805607201669120 Gumroad in December: Volume processed: $5.4M (down 4%) Revenue: $341K (down 3%) Gross profit: $135K (up 9%)

If good design makes one want to lick a site, this is very lickable.

As a developer who really struggles with design, this is the last thing I expected to hear from this. Thanks a lot!

You're being hard on yourself - the site is perfect. Easy to read, clear & concise. Good job.
