And 2 minutes later the "secret" link is shared on Twitter.
- kmfrk 16y agoYeah, I'm not sure I understand that part either. If this really is possible, you'd have to create a user who is somehow whitelisted to get the linked item in question.
- sahillavingia 16y agoI think people who use Gumroad won't really have that as a concern - but if enough people bring it up, I'll see what I can do about it!
- JoachimSchipper 16y agoFor many of the things that people might want to do, a "patronage" model isn't so bad either: the creator demands $1000 for the work behind the link; people can leave an e-mail address and pay anything from $1 to the full remaining price, and will be notified as soon as the work is available.
- cyanbane 16y agoI think this has tons of value, almost like a mini-kickstarter without the need to advertise for a kick for communities of people (forums, etc) who want new features or some kind of quick bit of work done.
- Geee 16y agoDisable direct links and proxy the content, that way you can create unique URIs for every buyer. Then you can do all sorts of things like add a watermark on the content page containing the credit card number of the buyer or just add expiration time to the links. That'll limit sharing somewhat, although I don't think it's a huge problem.
- PStamatiou 16y agohave the asset be hosted on S3 with a signed url that expires quickly
- aw3c2 16y agoThen you would need to do that for every customer individually as I understand the system.
