DevTemple: a marketplace for developers and designers to sell code, templates & assets

We built DevTemple (devtem.org) — a live digital marketplace where developers and designers sell code templates, UI kits, graphics, and other digital assets, with instant downloads for buyers.

Why We built it

I make and sell digital products myself, and kept hitting the same frustrations on other platforms — fees that don't make sense for smaller creators, no real visibility into earnings, and buyers having to trust a screenshot instead of actually seeing the thing work before paying.

DevTemple is my answer to that: a place built specifically for code/design assets, where sellers get a proper profile, real-time earnings and referral tracking, and buyers can preview a template live in the browser before they buy — not just look at static images.

How it works

  • Sellers create an account, and upload their products (templates, kits, graphics, snippets, etc.)
  • Buyers browse, preview live where available, and check out securely via Paystack
  • Live Preview runs the actual HTML/CSS/JS in-browser so buyers know exactly what they're getting
  • Referral program lets anyone earn commission (7%, or 10% for Pro members) by sharing links
  • Seller dashboard tracks earnings, subscribers, and withdrawals in one place — payouts go straight to your bank

Not trying to replace any other platform — it's its own thing, built around instant-download digital assets for the developer/designer crowd.

Will it help?

That's what I'm putting out there to find out. If you build things — templates, kits, snippets, assets — and want a place to sell them where buyers can actually try before they buy, I think it's worth checking out. And if you're buying, the live preview alone should save you from a few bad surprises.

Would genuinely appreciate people trying it out — as a seller or buyer — and telling me what's missing.
