This is a great idea. I could see becoming a customer of yours if you added: - payment in USD - Ability to provide a post-receive hook to run validation / tests / benchmarks, and see results with the notification of submission. I appreciate that doing this in secure fashion is a nontrivial effort.

Thanks! Webhooks to implement that kind of post-receive functionality are on the TODO list. If you like, get in touch at [email protected] and I'll let you know once they're done.

> payment in USD

Honest question: why? Can't your card / bank / PayPal do the conversion for you? (I say this as a Canadian who often pays USD with my Canadian card / bank account).

The bigger issue for me is pricing in USD, and less about the currency in which payment is collected. I'm in the UK, and while I can generally work out a rough exchange rate for GBP to USD and EUR in my head, I've no idea what the current AUD rate is. Making me check is a small but real barrier.
