Hey, #1 on Hacker News! I don't think that's happened since...I launched Gumroad back in 2011:

Thanks HN for being a part of my journey!

Hey Sahil,

Big fan of Gumroad! As a customer, it's one of the neatest checkout flows I've come across, among Stripe.

Do you have any plans to expand into subscription offerings?

Oh that's great! I'm gonna look into integrating Gumroad into my product in that case. One question: Do you support domestic cards from India? Or just credit cards?

Because that's a problem I face with Stripe as well.
