For a long time now, I've had an idea for a virtual indie convention - an attractive site to easily search through various media and genres of indie creators and buy from them directly, to lessen the dependence on big corporations for entertainment and publicity.
Now, with the pandemic, small businesses are shutting their doors - perhaps forever. Conventions and other places for indie creators to gain visibility are shut down. These smaller creatives have run close to the budget for years now and they don't have much to fall back on.
I can't sit on this idea any longer. It is quite literally now or never. I'm going for it.

More is coming.
Take care, everybody.
May God bless you and give you strength and peace.

The way I want to do it, yes it would need a huge team and a lot of money. The way I'm going to do it will be functional and pretty and one guy says it's feasible and he'll do it, but I'm not going to ask him to do it for free so I'm gathering funds now.
The main idea is searchability, and the big trick to pull off is minimizing what I have to host on my own platform. That will mean there's no way to monetize it so I'll be running it on faith and a tip jar.
I've had the name in mind for a long time! :) I was glad to see it was still available when I bought the domain.
You can have a booth too! I should be able to link directly to your Redbubble store when it's built.
