   Cool. We're thinking a monthly subscription. We're still working out final pricing.

   Thanks. That's a nice idea. Long term, we're going to format the text area so people can copy any paste any list format from almost any source - word, excel, csv, tab delimited etc.

   Thanks for the the nice comments and the bug report. The text area is currently very buggy, something I'll be fixing very soon.

   Thanks for the feedback. We'll be having some kind of setup where people can use their own domain for their site for sure.

   Thanks. It's definitely way less effort (and I speak as an Objective C coder) but doesn't have the ease or slickness of taking the photo then starting to sell.

   At first, to overcome the chicken and egg problem, it will be "bring your own traffic". As we grow, there will be global directory with search, with emphasis on your local shops.

   Thanks for the feedback. Excellent points. We're going to be doing plenty of user testing with shop keepers and market stall holders in the coming months.

   Thanks for the nice words. The text entry area is pretty buggy right now. But we do store invalid entries so people can go back and edit them. We'll have warnings showing to users when a line can't be parsed.

   Thanks for all the nice comments! - We've debated the pros and cons of lightboxes for a while now. We don't like them and prefer to see the image without chrome, but our users may feel differently. We'll soon see! - Excellent point. I'm rea

    We switched it from £ to $ just before we posted onto Hacker News. The text area breaks very easily right now, which we'll be fixing in the coming days. Thanks for the catch.

    This might be the case. We're going to do lots of user testing to see what issues typical users have with it. If we detect the user is making a lot of mistakes, we'll fall back to showing them a traditional form with fields.

    Thanks for the nice words and the feedback. We just ran out of time on this. We'll be spending a lot more time on making this text area easier and nicer to use.

    We see ourselves as a good fit for small shops or market traders who find selling online through existing options intimidating or unwieldy. We think there's also a gap in the market for one person companies who want customers to visit them

    Stock photos is a feature that exposes a tension in our product - what's good for sellers isn't always good for buyers. That said, you also make some good points why stock photos are bad for both.

    Nice feedback. Thanks. We're keen to add Stripe, but we're based in the UK and it's not available over here yet. Excellent recommendations of Twilio and MailGun. We'll check them out. We'd allow digital file upload by choosing a file instea

    Indeed it will. And longer term, many other currencies too. :)

    Thanks. I'm really excited about building a native iOS app for our site and it's one of our important milestones.

    Thanks for the catch. I'll check the logs and find out why it's doing this.
