Neat and unexpected. Thanks for submitting this to the place where this all began (see: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2406614). This is all super-early of course, but I really do believe there is something neat here.

Gumroad is a huge WIP just like any other startup, so any and all feedback is always appreciated. Thanks!

I just checked your personal site. All I gotta say is you're pretty fucken badass. :)

As seen on HN 8 months ago, although this looks like a nice redesign: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2406614

Feedback: why not have an option to add a 'secret' POST http variable after purchase? it's not the most secure way but it would stop people from sharing download links.

Nice work Sahil - you did it again.

I like simple sales platforms too (www.snowday2011.com). Let's collaborate?

I was amazed that Sahil's name was not mentioned at all in the blogpost.

I'm glad! It was about the product, as it should be! Not about me, any funding, etc. It _should_ be all about the product, that's what will ultimately make or break your company.

And he wasn't grammatically correct!

"The guy who helped bring you Crate, a dead simple file-sharing service, are now testing something called Gumroad, a way to ask folks to pay for downloads."

Some feedback: a way to link to a seller-provided demo/trial from the sales page would be really useful. As a buyer, I appreciate the ability to try before I buy.

You can do this by adding any link you wish to the description field for a link.

Is this available only in the US?

Any chance of adding payment option via Paypal aside from CC?
