@adam_pritchard1 Hey, great question! That's actually one of the first revenue strategies we intend to pursue. (and a common request from our growing user base!) I'd expect a purchase option for prints later this year. That said, one of the reasons it didn't make it into our launch feature set is that we felt there was such a larger opportunity we were hoping to capture: creating a user experience of "collaborative curation" that was independently compelling enough to keep people coming back to art, even when they didn't have walls to fill at home. Like many people, I once had the relationship with art where I'd think about it pretty much only if (a) I moved into a new apartment, or (b) I saw an ad about a big upcoming MoMA exhibit. And once I finished decorating or the art show left town, I forgot about art until the next time. But that changed when I moved to San Francisco because an artist friend would invite me to gallery shows every few weeks. The first several trips left me uninspired, but after repeated exposure I grew first a familiarity, then an appreciation and understanding, and eventually an enthusiasm and love for art. I discovered amazing stories and beautiful work that spoke to me in ways deeper than I could've imagined, especially as someone who always felt that "art" was a little foreign/inaccessible. And we feel it really comes down to an accessibility problem. Only 24% of American adults went to an art museum in the years before COVID. Now that number may be less than 8%. And that's due to any number of social, economic, or geographic barriers. It can feel daunting to jump into art, and even if the interest and means are there, sometimes it takes just a little too much time or effort to seek out art - let alone knowing where to start. We hope that Choice is quick, easy, and fun enough to introduce art into the fringes of our users' daily lives. They'll see a lot of art, with no wrong answers about their preferences and no one looking over their shoulder wondering if they're liking the "right" stuff. And over time we're sure they'll start to see things they recognize and styles that they're drawn to. Which at the end of the day, will help you know exactly the pieces that will fit your space and aesthetic. :) Thanks so much for the question, Adam, and hope you end up checking us out (and eventually buying a print or two!)

@marcin_skrzynski Hey, thanks for your feedback! We're just getting started and felt that the simplest way to authenticate your account was by receiving a code via SMS. No need to remember passwords or be dependent upon third-party auth. But I totally get where you're coming from. If it's helpful to know, we won't use your number for anything other than sending you a code to login!
