Looking Back: What We've Learned Building SalesGit Since Launch

Since launch, the single clearest lesson has been this: sellers don't actually want more features. They want fewer blockers between having something to sell and getting paid for it. Every genuinely useful addition since then has come from watching where real sellers got stuck.

What surprised us

How often the agent and affiliate models got used by people who'd never describe themselves as "entrepreneurs" — a student reselling a supplier's products between classes, someone promoting a friend's course to their own audience for a commission. The platform ended up serving more kinds of sellers than the original plan accounted for.

What we got wrong at first

Early templates assumed too much about what a "typical" store looked like. Watching sellers with genuinely different catalogs — a handful of handmade pieces versus a five-hundred-item electronics shop — made it clear one template was never going to be enough. That's part of why distinct, purpose-built templates exist now instead of one generic layout.

What's next

More of the same instinct: watch where sellers get stuck, and remove it. Not because a feature looked impressive on a roadmap, but because it closed a real gap between a seller having something to sell and a stranger paying them for it.
