I love when products go deep for their core users. This is one of the best ideas and executions I've seen among any of the companies trying to create marketplaces for digital goods.

This is an incredible idea coming from the Creative Market. Very well done. I wonder how long it takes Envato (Theme Forest, Code Canyon, etc.) to make a version of this for their products/sites.

While I appreciate that you're going for a Photoshop UI theme in the browser panel there (and I think it's very nice in terms of presentation), I think it's a big mistake to use decorative UI elements that don't actually work. It's impossible for a user to look at that panel and tell what is actual UI, and what is merely decoration, which is disorienting and frustrating.

That really depends on what the goal is.

Personally I read what it could do and downloaded.

Are you talking about in the live demo on our site? Or in the installed extension. Because in the context of using the extension in the app, I think it'll make more sense for you.

Exactly, this is such a smart move.

Nice idea and implementation.

Was it difficult building the plugin for photoshop ?

I ask because I have been toying with building a photoshop plugin for handling feedback on designs. i.e. the plugin allows you to upload a design to a website where customers can comment. The plugin would allow you to view the comments from within Photoshop.
