I'm not entirely sure if this post is allowed, so feel free to remove if not.<p>Hello! I have recently created a digital product platform that is based on Git. So think Envato, but friendlier to devs and much more technical and deep support of all things Git.<p>I very recently published a test product and went through a first public release. Things are looking pretty good!<p>Now I would like to talk to more potential authors who may want to collaborate or offer an existing digital product up on the platform I've created.<p>I'm a full stack engineer that can assist there, or with UX, design, or marketing. (I'm also the sole creator of this product: design, ux, backend, etc, so I can collaborate in many roles)<p>The platform is https://git.cash - you can read a bit about it on the homepage and the about page.<p>Anyway, thanks for looking! And if anyone has suggestions on where to find authors, if not here, I'd be much appreciative.<p>Cheers.
Show HN is what you'd normally use. <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html</a><p>Your homepage doesn't really tell me what this is, apart from it uses Git somehow. You told us ^^there, but not on the homepage.<p>Is it a RAD tool? A new alternative to something like meteor? What's it got to do with Sketch plugins?
I'm not sure who your target end-user is, but I think the focus on "git" both in your branding and explanation leads people to focus on that aspect rather than the (great) idea of having easy-to-use revision management for digital assets. How that's implemented (in this case, git) is irrelevant to a marketing manager or a creative who is supplying the content.<p>If developers are a large part of who you see as your end user, then sure, keep as is. But if they're not, I'd consider re-evaluating the use of git as your main selling point and highlight the "history tracking" aspect of the product.
Have you thought about cutting your fee to 7% plus 3% to paypal or stripe and letting the author set a commission for affiliates. So if I offer 25% an affiliate would get 15%.
I'm a "product marketer", and this was difficult for me to understand. I don't know what this is for (after reading your opening comment), and I can't figure out what should I be doing. If you receive similar feedback from other marketers, maybe consider making it easier to understand?
Please just let me scroll down to some content first without choosing one of the 'im a' s.<p>Edit: To ask,<p>What prevents me from distributing products by allowing others to use my paid copy's machine as a remote? Am i missing something?
And what would be really cool is to allow people to sell the resale rights. So, if I buy the rights I could make all future profits of the eBook, template, photo etc.
This violates the Git trademark, which the team announced they would begin enforcing this year due to a proliferation of products and services naming themselves after Git. If you're going to move forward with this, you need to apply for permission to use the Git mark.
so can I fork your product and sell it and split the fees?<p>or if I check in a rewrite of a paragraph and you approve the check in do I get a cut your future sales?
