Hey guys- I made Tindie. Thanks for your support. If you have any ideas, feedback or questions, definitely let me know- emile



Have you tried reaching out to the folks at Etsy? I think they would love it if the emerging indie gadgets scene was cultivated more.


I haven't...any Etsy folks out there?


I've talked with Noah Sussman several times about selling indie electronics/hardware projects* on Etsy. He says: "Yes, game on!" (I'm paraphrasing.) He's a cool guy to know, regardless. http://twitter.com/noahsussman

And if you want to go straight to the source, you should ask for a beer/coffee with Chad: http://twitter.com/chaddickerson

* I'm potentially searching for a place to sell my "Robot that plays Angry Birds" (http://bitbeam.org/bitbeam-robots-invade-pycon). I go back and forth on whether I should roll my own store, or use a site like Tindie/Etsy/Kickstarter/Inventables, or all of the above. :-)


I love it. Been looking for someone who could build some custom electronics for me for a long time!
