For me, the curation of the content, and quality of the item thumbnail previews really make this site for me, and I really hope both continue as you expand in content. Especially for the cheaper assets (< $10) I've never felt the envano sites were worth it in terms of how frustrating and time intensive it was to find quality items versus just building it myself. Compare this to CM, where I've already found a few things to buy...

It'll be really interesting to see how the business model is going to work and whether you'll be able to hand curate all new submissions or automate to an effective degree. Apple has been able to do curation but obviously your volumes will be much different, despite similar price points and margins.

A few bug reports --

I wasn't interested in the icon sets - I unchecked the Icons category but many still remained, ex [0]. It looks like you can disable all of the categories and still get 52 results.

Some of the items have contradictory license terms, ex [1]. The license at the bottom of this page seems to contradict the Simple license listed in the about table.

You cannot "Use a purchased icon set as artwork that enhances actual gameplay in your app, such as the birds in Angry Birds" in the simple license seems like it is an unnecessary grey area, and scares me because I don't understand the intent, where the line is drawn, and whether you had a lawyer look over the license.
