A marketplace for github repos: https://gitsell.dev

You can even buy the app itself on it. It’s going to be my starter for all other projects too, so I’m adding all the common CRUD app features. Also it aims to be lowest cost possible, which is free for now. I try not to tie it to specific technologies when possible to make it as easy as possible to switch providers in the future.

Suggestion: have a way to buy as a guest and provide an SSH public key to access the repo.

Thanks for the suggestion. May I ask the intent behind this feature? Is it to preserve privacy or just convenience with your workflow?

I enabled purchases without a GitHub account now where you can log in with just email and download the project after purchase.

I still need to do more reading about how the SSH key approach would work to support it, but hopefully this unblocks you and others.

Thanks for the advice.
