cktsai··on DIY Coin Checkout – template for product launch
That's a great point. Pre-order merchants regularly run over their initial production timelines. A pre-order platform like Celery https://www.trycelery.com/ solves this problem by allowing the merchant to accept a credit card without charging it until the product is ready to ship

cktsai··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2014)
Celery (YC'12): San Francisco, CA trycelery.com

Celery is building the next-generation of e-commerce. Today's modern merchants build their e-commerce business by starting with pre-orders. Our pre-order platform is used by hardware startups (Pebble, Lockitron) and innovative brands. We're well-funded by YC, SV Angel, Max Levchin and other top investors and offer competitive salary plus generous equity. Celery is based in the SOMA district of San Francisco.

We're looking for full stack developers and growth engineers. Our codebase is micro-service oriented with a separate API server, dashboard app, and shop app. On the backend (API) we use node with express and backbone. On the frontend we use backbone and a custom knockoutjs inspired model-view binding system. We use MongoDB and PostgreSQL databases.

We value engineers who can work at all levels of our stack, but have a particular passion for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, a deep awareness of cross-browser compatibility issues, and a good sense of design and UX.

Please include one or more of the following (resume, github, side projects, linkedin, stack overflow profile) to dev-jobs@trycelery.com

Bonus if you include a link to your favorite crowdfunded project (Kickstarter, Indiegogo or other) and explain why
