I built an app that lets creatives sell their digital and physical goods
https://www.makepostsell.com/ https://www.makepostsell.com/
It's open source and public domain, uses stripe for holding card information
- raytopia 2y agoInteresting platform because it's open source does thay mean one could easily move off the platform for any reason. I also see that you don't handle sales tax which is a bummer and is one of the reasons people use a lot of centralized platforms but I get why you don't because it's a nightmare.
- foxhop 2y agoThanks, the process to move off the platform is a process that needs to be built and documented, the data lives in a shared digital ocean bucket, the database uses uuids and we could try dumping only the relevant data out of the shared database. it was built as a multi tenet platform. Future work is supporting api/secret keys to bring your own s3 bucket/digital ocean spaces, while keeping the database shared. otherwise it costs roughly $11/mo to host a copy of the platform ($6 for a virtual server and $5 for the digital ocean space) As for taxes, this will be something that will need to be tackled at some point but so far I've been kicking the can down the road hoping I could find a partner to help figure that out in a clever way that is proper.
