Show HN: Open-Source Website Builder for Gumroad Products

Hi! This is a small project I did to try out Rails.

I felt there was no easy way to create one-off websites to promote your products on Gumroad. So created website builder, that syncs product details from your Gumroad account and gives you a customizable sub-domain.

There are definitely some rough edges in the product, more of a POC. Built using React and Ruby on Rails.

I would 100% believe this is a Gumroad product. There's even the Gumroad logo in the header, and you can only login with a Gumroad account, obviously linking to a page at gumroad.com. It even says "powered by Gumroad". Check out 10.2 in the ToS you are bound to: https://gumroad.com/terms

I would strongly suggest making it clear you aren't associated with Gumroad ASAP, because Gumroad is *required* to protect their trademark here. This is the easiest C+D a lawyer at Gumroad will ever have to draft.

I hope using their trademark name in the domain (gumroad.site) isn't attracting trouble. I learned wordpress companies use 'wp-' in domains because wordpress.com is enforcing their trademark.
