Happy New Year! Our Christmas sale has now ended, and as we start 2025 I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for the fantastic year we've had together.

Happy New Year! Our Christmas sale has now ended, and as we start 2025 I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for the fantastic year we've had together.
Platform
Another great year of work behind the scenes to improve our platform from the BuiltByBit team, so I wanted to mention a handful of our biggest projects:- Replaced resource bumping with our algorithm, which we've been continually running experiments on to improve discovery and increase creator earnings
- Improved checkout experience by introducing 25+ new payment gateways (including crypto, UPI, CashApp, and Afterpay), allowing buyers to get invoices for B2B purchases, and integrating the checkout process more seamlessly
- Improved moderation by introducing a new DMCA system and bringing the peer review process to all categories
- Grew Roblox categories by opening resource publishing to everyone and acquiring/merging in Nikoverc to BBB
- Ran 4 curated sale events (vs just 1 in 2023)
- Other misc improvements to improve the creator experience. This includes searching products on the creator dashboard, deleting drafts, improving analytics, site speed optimisations, supporting larger file uploads, and heaps more
