I always wished there was a bandcamp like service for things other than music. Unfortunately they still take fees etc, but still quite an excellent user experience for owning and buying music.

Indeed. Bandcamp also has "Bandcamp Fridays" where every dollar goes straight to the artists you buy from (after payment processor fees, that is).

I'm pretty sure that's itch.io, which looks like a game site but it was originally (and still is) just a way for you to sell zip files.

Thanks for the heads up! I always thought it was some startup site lol!

itch.io is kindof nuts - IIRC the creator is also responsible for lapis and moonscript, basically building a whole lua-based stack just for itch.
