Re:Show HN: I was afraid to launch, so I did. Babolog. by mekarpeles on Thursday April 07, 2011 @03:02AM (#2418533)
That's a great question!

Stephen and I had the opportunity to speak with Sahil of Gumroads last night and told him we were very impressed by his work. However, we've actually been working on babolog for quite a while and even applied to YC to work on this very project. You can check our updates-log on our site to track our development back to Dec 2010.

While Gumroads offers a pretty nice solution to selling links, we believe we do a better job at solving the problem of e-commerce for digital goods.

Our system is a complete e-commerce solution with a built in affiliate program, storefronts, and an integrated marketplace intended for users who wish to establish a store presence.

We have upmost respect for Sahil and his beautiful work, we've just been working on this for a long time and continue to recognise a different market of customers who want a complete solution for conducting online business.

We look forward to releasing a variety of unique features which are mid-development, like our digital request system, in house digital content creation tools, marketplace plugins, live chatting with store owners, and more!
