Add Gumroad? It started out as a Show HN weekend project and I release the numbers every month:

This is a bit off topic of the main post but do you plan to add Twitter login to the Android app? I can't use it to access the books I've purchased because I logged in to the website with my Twitter account when I made the purchases but can't do so on my phone.

Yes, we're working on updating the iOS app as we speak and will move onto the Android app after that. First half of this year.

Been following Gumroad for a while! Would love to add it but I don't recall seeing anything like interviews or "making of" posts anywhere – I tried to add a little more than revenue numbers here.

Fair enough. I'm happy to, but I haven't been asked! I'm on a bunch of podcasts but they're less structured and often not transcribed.

The monthly numbers tweet often turns into a psuedo-AMA of sorts. It's a distributed interview :)

But if anyone, from Indie Hackers or otherwise, is reading...

You can apply for an interview on Indie Hackers: https://www.indiehackers.com/contribute#submit.

As far as I understand creativetim.com uses gumroad for payment processing. Creative team has self-reported their revenue to about 1M per year. So kind of 20% from a single customer

That's a very interesting insight. I'd love some verification, but with the openness of all these numbers, it seems very plausible. If 20% is truly from a single customer, that seems very fragile, no?

Per month vs per year.
