Shopstr Markets

In late 2021, I got sent to Mumbai with a one-way ticket to figure out how to set up a subsidiary in India It was really hard. It took six months. It's why we started @CommendaHQ Today we operate entities across 100+ countries for Remote, Exa AI, Razorpay, Wetstone, and Assembled and 500+ more customers

Major green flags in a founder: 1/ crazy grit, won’t give up 2/ started building before pitching investors 3/ constantly moving, constantly generating new information 4/ very technical 5/ not addicted to founder cosplay 6/ goes out and talks to users 7/ finds creative, experimental marketing channels 8/ genuinely cares about what they’re building 9/ never blames others or external factors 10/ tinkered with projects obsessively at a young age 11/ constantly comes up with interesting ideas 12/ knows their metrics cold 13/ doesn’t chase hype, chases truth 14/ excellent storyteller. Can sell the vision to hires, investors, and customers 15/ can clearly explain what they are building in one sentence 16/ can’t stop talking to customers If you hit a good chunk of these, tell me what you are building

Shopstr wouldn't exist of it we hadn't discovered @Replit when we were building the first version back in 2022-2023. Our founder got his start hacking apps on Replit in his free-time after attending one of the hackathons in your SF office, building a Lightning wallet in a few hours. That initial idea evolved into a decentralized marketplace that was first launched also at one of your hackathons in the a16z offices. Even then there wasn't a software suite that was as efficient and simple at executing from idea to deployment. We've since progressed towards focusing on Bitcoin-first commerce to support local artisans and farmers through @milkmarketmedia, along with our own CPG brand, all powered by and run on Replit. We can't express enough how impactful your journey has been to ours. Happy birthday!! 🎂

Replit, turned 10 🎂 To celebrate we’re making it totally free for 24 hours starting at 5am PT. But our work—to make coding accessible for all—goes back to 2011. Watch the highlights from the journey: It’s been an honor to help millions learn & ship. Here is to the next 10!

Excited to share that I’ve been selected for Summer of Bitcoin 2026 I’ll be contributing to @shopstrmarkets this summer, working on improving the mobile-first buyer experience and Bitcoin UX. Grateful for the opportunity 🙌

accepted into @summerofbitcoin '26 apparently “obsessing over tests and CI pipelines” is now a legitimate summer activity. joining @shopstrmarkets to work on hardening and enforcing test coverage across critical paths. huge thanks to the mentors and everyone involved ❤️

Rating our food system:

We'll meet creators of: 👉#Mostro - p2p bitcoin trades over Nostr 👉#DNNetwork - a Bitcoin-anchored naming system for nostr and the web 👉welliv, creator of plugins to @BtcpayServer to @shopstrmarkets and @telegram Then chat about anything. Come, present, watch, gossip.

@BtcpayServer @shopstrmarkets, BTCPay plugin is live, ending the trade-off between self-hosting and global reach. Stop burning money on ads for a lonely standalone site, just broadcast your inventory directly to the Nostr network. plugin-builder.btcpayserver.org/public/plugins…
