I built a digital goods marketplace (templates, fonts, 3D, code, etc.) with two features I couldn't find elsewhere:

  1. Crypto payouts: Sellers can receive USDT/USDC on Ethereum, Tron, BSC, Polygon, or Solana. Payouts go out on the 1st and 15th 
  of each month via NOWPayments Mass Payouts API.                                                                                
                                                                                                                                  
  2. 90% revenue share for the first 3 months (80% after). Compare: Envato 45-62.5%, Gumroad ~87%, Creative Market 60%.           
                                                                                                                                  
  Tech stack: Next.js 16 (App Router), PostgreSQL (Neon serverless), Drizzle ORM, Stripe + NOWPayments, NextAuth v5, OpenAI       
  embeddings for search, Google Veo for AI video generation.                                                                      
                                                                                                                                  
  Some interesting engineering decisions:
  - No interactive transactions (Neon HTTP driver limitation) — everything uses idempotency keys instead                          
  - 32 cron jobs on Vercel edge for background processing                                               
  - AI semantic search using text-embedding-3-small (1536 dims) with cosine similarity                                            
  - AutoPilot bot: 13 modules that auto-generate blog/social content, discover creators for outreach, and scan for pirated        
  products (DMCA)                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                  
  678 categories, multi-language (EN/RU), 117 database tables. All custom-built, no SaaS dependencies.                            
                                                                                                                                  
  Source: closed source for now, but the entire API is documented and we offer developer API keys with webhooks.                  
                                                                                                                                  
  Would appreciate feedback, especially on the crypto payout flow and the AutoPilot concept.
