And then the other thing we're doing that I've seen no other microsite platform do is we'll be monetizing our marketplace.

So we have a creator marketplace where single link users can create plugins soon and they can currently create themes, they can publish them and they'll be able to sell those to other users who can buy them little micro transactions, et cetera.

And we'll be taking a 25% fee of those transactions.

Yeah, that'd be an interesting discussion.

Yeah, so it's super interesting because originally when we thought about this, we came into this with a mission to make the world open source.

We are truly in this belief that pushing your code publicly and creating this transparent relationship with your consumers would be able to help you actually charge more, offer a better product.

And so we looked at all the industries out there and we were like, what is one industry that is just exploding and is in desperate need of an open source alternative?

And when I say a desperate need, a lot of microsite users, they don't necessarily just want to go up and they sign up, right?

Some people want it to be super simple and then some people want to be super complex.

So that sort of modification need was what I saw as a need for open source.

So that drew us into the industry.

We were like, okay, the industry is exploding and people are ready to contribute.

I think that's the biggest thing.

And we wanted to create an open source alternative in that space.

So I dropped out of college a few years ago.

And since then, I've been working 20 hours a week, part time outside of this as a developer.

And that allows me to make enough money to write just get by and still work 40 hours a week on this.

So it's kind of a 60 hour a week grind on top of all the training and all that.

But it has allowed me to make just enough money while also putting my heart and soul into this.

And I've been working remote for years.
