Hey creators,

We're counting down the days to our birthday on April 4th, and we have some exciting news to share!

🚀 We're going open source

We’re thrilled to announce that we will open source Gumroad on April 4th. This marks a significant milestone in our journey, and we can't wait to see what our community will build with the Gumroad source code.

💻 Join our hackathon

Ready to dive in? Next week, we’re hosting a Gumroad birthday hackathon. You’ll have access to the open source repo a week early. Join virtually anywhere in the world and show us what you can create! The hackathon will kick off on Sunday, March 30 and end with presentations and prizes on Friday, April 4.

Let's get hackin'

🎂 A Gumroad birthday party

Come celebrate with the team! We're hosting a special birthday event with food, drinks, and, of course, birthday cake. We'd love to see you (and your friends, family, community—whomever!).

RSVP here

As another part of the lead up, we've been revisiting Gumroad's journey, including how it started, the lows, and the highs. We've also had some of our long-time creators like Brian Hahn (Make This Your Last Time) and Álvaro Trigo (fullPage.js) share their experiences and tips.

We can't wait to celebrate this milestone with you all. Here's to another amazing year of building together!

The Gumroad Team
