Nice! Our team was discussing the available options in this space the other day. New Relic Browser came up as well as SpeedCurve. We're looking for something we can track custom metrics with, so this looks appealing.

Nope. Definitely not. It's actually even larger than that. Just got overlooked in shipping as quickly as possible.

Thanks for the feedback. You make some great points. I'll respond to each.

1. I originally wanted to include the book REMOTE, but figured it'd be better to give customers a choice of books. Then I just opted for the gift card instead for simplicity.

2. I like that idea. I didn't include shipping originally because I have no idea what it will actually cost, and was hoping to offset that risk initially. Totally agree going forward.

3. Just picked a specific niche that I knew it would appeal to in the beginning.

4. Good idea.

I originally had that on the pricing page. $5 per box - ship us whatever you want and we'll box it up and send it out. So yes, it's totally doable.

OP here. I remember the first time I visited the Mothership as a remote employee. I was grabbing t-shirts and stickers by the handful. I’ve been wanting to build something for remote teams for quite a while, and this seemed like simple place to start. It’s definitely rough around the edges, but I wanted to get it out there. It took two weeks to build in my spare time. Happy to answer any questions.
