Open Market has grown up. It started as somewhere to list your old stuff. It's now a marketplace where you can run a real shop too on your own AT Protocol account. No fees, no lock-in. Here's what's new 🧵 1/8

Sell what you actually sell. Physical things. Commissions. And now software, ebooks, presets, fonts, anything you deliver by download. Each kind asks for different things, so a font never gets asked for its shipping weight. 2/8

Prices that tell the truth. Sales with a start and end date. Subscriptions, so "$69" can say "$69 a year". Tax included, or not. A price you can't compare isn't really a price. 3/8

One product, many options. Sizes, colors, plans, tiers. Each option is its own listing, but buyers see one product with a chooser and not four near-identical cards in a row. 4/8

And no more fake free. "$0, make me an offer" is the worst habit on Facebook Marketplace. It takes the top of every cheapest-first sort from someone being honest. There's now a real way to say "I don't know what it's worth". So $0 means free. 5/8

Your shop, your rules. A proper shop page: name, policies, handling time, where you ship. Plus vacation mode! Going away for two weeks no longer means editing forty listings one at a time, then undoing it all when you get back. 6/8

Today is a great time to check Open Market, either to set up your shop or to see what some friends here are already selling. And please, help us make it better, Open Market is open source and right now a grown up boy, or girl? We will never know! Visit: openmkt.app Follow us here for more! :) 8/8
