   Thanks Rob! I figured it is growing, and should grow quicker if I am working on it fulltime. If I kept at a job, that growth would be slower, a competitor might emerge- who knows. Only thing that is certain is the data- site is cranking so

   Fortunately, that isn't the only revenue source. More information coming in the weeks/months ahead.

   Thanks! I think you just tipped that one into the lead. You mean the more developed one, not the simple version right?

   Very fair comment. I actually agree- working on the backend is one of my priorities. It isn't my strong-suit but, it does need work (as today demonstrates). Thanks again and I hope you give the site/me another shot after this is fully fixed

    They can definitely add items and sell on the site. There are sellers all over the US & Europe, but I'm all in favor of South American makers.

    I actually had this up for a month, and it turned into "well go buy it here (insert link)". I thought it would work out like you are thinking but it turned out a bit different in execution

    Can't agree with this more. There needs to be more indie in tindie. The only problem is time and getting stuff built as fast as possible. But great comment and there definitely be more soul coming to the site.

    Initially, I just threw a post on /r/arduino asking people if they thought it was a good idea, then had a signup form for people to start seeding projects before the site was built. http://www.reddit.com/r/arduino/comments/rxyjb/would_you

    Understandable.. I used it to get something out the door. For launching a v1 and testing a concept, Bootstrap is pretty amazing. But when I redesign it, I'll definitely move away from the Bootstrap defaults. Thanks for the feedback

    Starting to see this myself. I'll look into making some changes once the traffic dies down. Thanks for the feedback- emile
