PremiumJS - Developer Focused Landing Page
If you're just here for the landing page... https://premiumjs.com
A bit more about the idea: This product is focused on enabling JS developers to publish and monetize code they produce.
Developers are already producing paid tools, templates, UI Kits, boilerplates, etc—but there's not a good way to distribute these. Some folks are rolling their own distribution and others are hacking around with other tools and manually emailing API keys.
PremiumJS aims to solve that problem. It provides a way to integrate easily with existing toolchains (i.e., npm or yarn CLI) for both makers and purchasers.

Would love to hear your thoughts or ideas for improving the landing page!
I think because the idea is both great and new (?), the main anxiety is this:
"If I put my package on this platform and this platform fails to gain momentum, will I need to tell my buyers in 6 months to change the package id so it points to a new private npm registry I'll have to piece together myself?"
I think I'd offer some kind of guarantee about that... like that you'll provide redirects for the next 18 months if the platform needs to shut down. I'd be upfront about that whole aspect, the risk, the fact that it's small and still a nascent idea, who you are as the guy behind it...
That's my take.
I'm going to make another update to cover some of the other bits you mentioned...
Hey @pascallaliberte, thanks for the reply! I updated the FAQs with this:
I think it works, great stuff
