Hey DEV community! 👋

I've been working on Getly — a digital marketplace where creators can sell templates, fonts,
graphics, code, music, courses, 3D assets, and pretty much any digital product you can think of.

## Why I built it

Every existing marketplace either takes too much commission (30-50%) or limits you to one niche. I wanted to build
something that:

Gives creators up to 90% revenue share
Covers 678 categories — from game assets to fonts to courses
Supports crypto payments (USDT/USDC) alongside traditional Stripe
Has AI-powered search so buyers actually find what they need

## Key features for sellers

Bundles & coupons — package products, run sales
Built-in affiliate program — let others promote your products
Analytics dashboard — see what's working
Multi-license tiers — personal, commercial, extended
Instant payouts — 1st and 15th of every month (fiat or crypto)

## Key features for buyers

AI semantic search — describe what you need, find it
Product comparisons — side-by-side feature comparison
Pro subscription — unlimited downloads for a flat fee
Wishlists & collections — organize and save for later

## What's next

I'm actively looking for early creators to join. Right now new sellers get 90% revenue share for the first 3 months
(vs the standard 80%).

If you create digital products — templates, UI kits, code snippets, fonts, icons, courses — I'd love for you to check it

Happy to answer any questions in the comments!
