Hello Product Hunters and Makers!
Tony, CEO of Cosmic here. It's bear season in crypto land, so it may be a good time to reconnect with an old friend... Web2! Now that centralizing your data in a database and paying in fiat is cool again, I bring you this digital art marketplace template (uNFT, get it? 😉). Use it to start your own community marketplace around buying and selling digital art using tried and true Web2 technology.
What is the uNFT Marketplace?
The uNFT marketplace (built by @nairagezhoyan 🙌) is a marketplace template that you can download for free and get your own digital storefront up and running in minutes. It's powered by:
- Next.js: React framework for building powerful, scalable websites. (https://nextjs.org)
- Cosmic: Content management system for modern websites and apps. (https://www.cosmicjs.com)
- Stripe: Payments processor for online stores. (https://www.stripe.com)
Why did we build this?
We built this digital art marketplace template to show you how to use the best Web2 technologies to power new creative products and services. It demonstrates that these tools (Next.js, Cosmic, and Stripe) can be used to power an exciting, creative community, and you don't need a blockchain with a proprietary token to build it.

2. Download the code and configure your API keys for Cosmic and Stripe (https://github.com/cosmicjs/unft...)
