I read the whole site but I have no idea what this is supposed to be used for. Could you give some example use cases?



Definitely! You're right, the homepage doesn't explain as well as it should.

All use cases boil down to two scenarios:

1. Creators want to sell a digital thing, but don't want to give up 30% to 50% in fees. Digital things could be: ebooks, a font, PSD templates, WordPress plugins, etc.

2. Creators want to take advantage of Git integration (fantastic for selling software, ebooks, etc)


Write that on your page ... on the top so that on the first impression the user knows what's the purpose of the site.


What do you mean by #2? They distribute the product as a git repo and users have to pull on it?
