Hi everyone - I've been off the grid today, so just catching up with this.
What a nice surprise to find a small side proj on PH's front page ;)
@hernas@danielkegel re only three posters? Yeah, I know -- we started with three because
a) it's a side project - our daytimes are spent busily making http://www.yunojuno.com for a client
b) this are a physical products, so we have up-front costs. Also, small print runs of posters (eg printing just 5, or even printing one on demand) are unsustainably expensive per item - leaving no or even negative profit at that volume - so we had to pick a few designs to test the water and get 50+ of each printed up as a toe in the water. Holding stock, damage, returns, etc - it's all a new experience for me compared to building SaaS products
c) I wanted to be sure that every poster we make is 100% 'legit' in terms of usage of the quote. Even the dealings with the Python Software Foundation (which is v friendly and generally awesome) took a fair amount of back-and-forth to ensure everyone was happy, so batting out dozens of poster designs featuring quotes from various sources (all still in copyright or referencing trademarks) on Day 0 wasn't really gonna happen.
So, yeah, MVP out the door - see what the water is like, then add more designs. That's the plan.
