Awhh, thank you! I don't have plans for a course, but feel free to hit me up on Twitter if you need any help or advice, haha. Best way to learn imo is to just start with an idea and tackle one task at a time. Before you know it, you&#x

Thank you! I've used VueJS/NuxtJS/Tailwind for the frontend and a NodeJS/ExpressJS/Postgres backend. I've developed everything custom and didn't rely on a headless commerce solution.

I used to be a gamer, but I have to give credit to my partner for creating the logo, haha Currently, the MRR is in the low three figures. No, I haven't explored that yet. It sounds intriguing, but managing and removing user-submitted c

Absolutely! I'll prioritize working on the shopping cart soon. Thanks for your interest! To stay updated, the best way is to create an account. Once international shipments become available, I'll send an email to everyone since it

Yes! The platform is currently running on a smaller DigitalOcean droplet. I've already upgraded it once and handling some DevOps tasks along the way. The Hackernews traffic is giving the server a serious stress test. As it continues to

Yep, local shipping companies here are great! They offer pickups and deliveries for around a dollar, sometimes even less within the same city. When sellers make a sale on our platform, their item gets picked up from their address and delive

The platform is exclusively for the Indonesian market, allowing transactions within Indonesia only. Though I'm born and raised in the Netherlands, my Indonesian heritage and language skills give me some insight into the market. After d

Thanks! In Indonesia, credit card usage is around 6%, one of the lowest in the region. We prioritize e-wallet payments, with banks as a secondary option. E-wallets have minimal fees compared to credit cards, which are relatively high with o

Thanks a bunch! I'm familiar with and love Depop! And I'm aware of Preloved too. Luckily, we're targeting different countries, so that potential issue you mentioned might not affect us. Love the idea of international shipping

Yes, sorry for that! Unexpectedly made it to the front page of Hackernews, and now my small server is seriously being put through its paces. It's clear I need to upgrade it ASAP.

Thanks! Yup, almost hit 10k sign-ups! Influencers played a big part initially, giving us a boost by mentioning our platform organically. Growth has slowed down lately, but I'm going all-in on SEO. Found a bunch of untapped, high-traffi

You're right about the commas, however, Indonesia uses the Rupiah, which sounds very similar to the Rupee used in India. Just to clarify, 4500000 rupiah is approximately equivalent to 300 USD.

I'm also from Europe, and Vinted is awesome! Totally agree about the mobile aspect. Initially, I focused on making the website mobile-first, but we received numerous requests for a mobile app. Since I'm not well-versed in mobile d

Thank you! All the content is user-submitted, and we rely on Instagram and Twitter for traffic. Some influencers spread the word and it really got things rolling. We're actually competing with Tokopedia and Shopee, but they're not
