Introducing PremiumJS - Paid JavaScript Packages

Hey Indie Hackers,

I'm working on a product that allows you to publish and sell JavaScript packages using the npm cli.

Check it out here: https://premiumjs.com/

If it's something you're interested in, please sign up for the beta email list so I can gauge interest. I'd love for some indie hackers to be the first to sell packages on PremiumJS.

For some background on this discussion, see here: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/monetized-javascript-packages-249c411643.

Lastly, if you're still reading, I'd love to hear your comments, thoughts, and feedback in the comments below!

Happy hacking!

    Hello mate, I guess you're building a similar product to PrivJs (https://privjs.com). To be honest, I don't like the fact that you kinda copied my idea and are being a direct competitor to me as I am just a small Indie maker, but maybe you've put in a lot of efforts on the product too. Let me know if I could help you out in any way. Good luck.

      Hey @prasanna, thanks for being honest :)

      to be honest in return, I only learned about your product privjs.com today and started following you. I think we just had similar ideas independently but you had yours a few months before me.

      I’d love to connect and talk more, whats a good platform to reach out to you?

        Hey @jones_spencera, sorry I kinda got scared of early competition. I figured out that both of us had independent ideas. Please feel free to reach out to me on twitter @prasannamestha (https://twitter.com/prasannamestha)

          All good :) I have the same reaction. Will hit you up on Twitter (have to reactivate my account first tho. Lol)

    I think this is a great idea!! There are so many developers out there who are making great libraries with no way to get paid for their hard work. Unfortunately, I have no libraries. However, I feel like I’m one of the few devs who don’t mind paying for a good library.

      @shanefromfargo, curious—do you mind sharing which libraries you've purchased?

      Thanks @shanefromfargo! Appreciate the reply.
