Holy crap! This is insanely awesome. I just tried out one of the courses and it's way easier to use this.

Out of the box - A/B testing, digital products delivery, course creation, upsells (including post-purchase), order bumps, subscription billing, paid blogging/ memberships, and more.

Our weakness right now against Shopify is we have less features on the physical product side - like 3PL integrations, but we're building those out as we see more people need them.

Hey guys! I'm one of the co-founders of Hyax along with Jack Paxton. I'm on the product side, so please let me know if you've got any questions about Hyax. Happy to answer them!

We call ourselves Shopify for digital creators. So we give you the ability to sell digital products / courses / memberships along with your regular eCommerce products.

To that end, we've built a pretty robust system for developing your courses & memberships and building out your ecommerce storefront.

This idea came to us when we realized that the space for ecommerce had several holes. Generally people use multiple plugins to solve these holes, but plugins are highly irregular and have security flaws.

We give you the ability to run marketing funnels along with your store, post-purchase upsells, order bumps. You can also sell subscriptions and set-up payment plans.

We also prioritize a beautiful looking UX and the ability to really customize your store.

Also A/B testing out of the box as well.

In essence, I built out the store that I wish I had as a marketer / entrepreneur.

Happy to take any questions =)

Why do you think you got accepted into YC? I'd love to check out your application.

Courtland, this is absolutely fantastic. Congrats man!

I'm wondering how this works out for you as an entrepreneur. Obviously now you're working for a larger corporation, but does your long-term vision align? For example, is your deal structured in a way that growing indie hackers also personally grows your income? Or is it now just a strict employee-employer relationship with a bonus (acquisition offer) upfront?

For other companies looking to get into YC, what do you think were the main factors that helped you get into the accelerator?

You're so right. FB & Google doesn't work at all. Stop advertising on those sites, you're making my CPC go up.

Why don't Romanians just get remote jobs?

I'm pretty sure Angry Birds took a long time to make.

This is an awesome looking site, but I doubt those apps were that simple to create. I could be wrong. I kind of meant like a "flashlight" app or something similar like that.
