For those who don't know what we are, CreativeMarket is an online marketplace for digital design assets. Think Etsy, but instead of vintage skirts and hand-sewn bags we have fonts and icons. (disclosure: I'm a developer here)

I've been a long time customer of Envato's marketplaces and this is the first I've seen of CreativeMarket. How would you compare yourselves to them? Browsing through your collection, I'm impressed with the level of quality.

It seems like CreativeMarket is focusing a lot on the creators of their content, much like how Etsy showcases their craftsmen with special blogs and features.

I've also been using Envato's resources for the past few years but I use it much more like I would Ebay or Amazon, searching for the right items to purchase and compare and not really noticing the people behind the work.

This is probably more for a hobby than a business, but I'd love it if you extended the site to cover musical 'goods.' Like people could submit riffs, melodies, drum loops, sound effects, to be bought for a small fee.
