How are you guys handling the new (awful) redesign?
I'm so so pissed by the redesign Gumroad made, that I've also started searching for alternatives.
What I like the most at Gumroad in one sentence:
- in provided the holy trio: landing page + email marketing + payment (at a fair price)
with the new redesign, the first two are almost eliminated ... the landing page looks boring, and the emails are AWFUL, I mean horrible ... it might work for them, but this is the first time I'm seeing a company forcing their community to adhere to the same brand guidelines without any design customization
I would happily pay to remove that awful CSS and their logo, just to have a simple gmail-indie-maker-text like design.
I've read many complaints about this, what solutions/alternatives have you guys found?

Yeh I was a bit shocked by the new design 😅
I run an alternative called https://shoprocket.io - it probably doesn't have ALL the features you use with Gumroad just yet as we recently rebuilt from the ground up so still lots to do, but It's free forever to test and I'd love your thoughts on how it compares 🙏
thanks, @ryanbadger for your recommendation
the UI is really nice, the overall experience is seamless ... it's great for e-commerce
as I'm an indie maker, I'm looking for an all-in-one solution, landing page + checkout + email
Got it, we have the "hosted storefront" solution live (demo: https://demo.shoprocket.io/) but we only offer transactional emails right now. We have marketing emails on our roadmap for the near future though 🙏
Would strongly recommend Ryan! 💪
