Hey Joel, I'm having trouble with the product tracker...when I enter my info, it doesn't total anything for me? Any tips on what I may be doing wrong?

Hey KJ, you mean the product research workbook? If that's what you mean then you have to make sure that you don't download it as an excel sheet but rather make a copy of it right on google sheets. Let me know if that works for you :)

Dude. Killer post. Every new Amazon Seller should bookmark and worship this!

I live in India please send me the all details how to sell on Amazon in a easy manner .

Hey Nishant, if you read the entire article and follow along you will know exactly how to sell on Amazon. Everything is listed step by step

Awesome information I am already a member with the start up bros. but I am always looking to brush up on my knowledge. Thanks Will & Joel.

Hey John, thanks for commenting! :) If you need help brushing up some more be sure to leave us a question here!

Hi, thanks for the great post. Really informative. I'm sure I will re-read it several times to take it all in. I've got a couple of question. Regarding patent and copyright issues, I've I'm re-branding white-label products as my own, am I breaching the patent and/or copyrights of the original producer? While I am considering Private Labelling, I'm also considering developing my own product from scratch. I'm concerned that if I reveal my product to the Chinese OEM manufacturer they can simply copy it and sell it themselves/to competitors. I've read I should get a Chinese written NNN Agreement (a bit like a Non-Disclosure here in the US) but I'm not sure how to go about it. Frankly, I'm inclined to get the manufacturers to sign a US style NDA instead as at least I will understand that one! Do you have any thoughts or guidance on this? Many thanks, Owen

Hey Owen, Ask as many questions as you want!! You're not the only one with these questions on your mind. So, if you're selling a white label product then inherently you're not breaking any patent or copyright issues. White labeling or private labeling means that you would be selling a product or service created by someone else but sold by you under your own brand. There is nothing wrong with that all, the original producer wants their product out there and they choose to allow private label so they can expand their market. You would be breaching copyright issues if you sold chargers, for instance, and said "Real Apple charger" because your using the brand credibility of apple to sell your chargers. Even if a product comes from the same supplier as Apple, it's the brand of Apple that pushes units and you can't use that to sell your unbranded product. You need to develop brand confidence with your new brand. Patents usually involve specific mechanisms not the whole product so most white label products from suppliers are completely fine to sell. I've never ran into something with patent issues. There are cheap prototyping companies here in the US that are more than happy to sign non disclosures. Before using overseas suppliers to develop products from scratch I would test the validity of a similar, already produced, product from an overseas supplier with your label on it. And if it does well produce it here in the US in small quantities and introduce it in your product catalogue as an upgrade and see how it sells. If you get sales from your initial offering, then I would look into getting it produced overseas and you can certainly get them to sign an NDA. Starting with your own product from scratch is expensive and time consuming. I would avoid it until you have enough sales to justify the validity of improving a product from scratch yourself.

hey, Thanks for such amazing information and Do I need a tax certificate to keep from paying sales tax on items I purchase for resale?

Hi, We have our own business and product currently in our store front but want to expand to Amazon. We have a seller account up and running but are trying to get more reviews and ratings and make us viewable on Amazon, currently you cannot find us easily. What can we do to up this? You mention brand registry but you need a trademark registration number in order to start a brand registry, and we don't yet have that. (in the process now)

Hey Jen, in the mean time you can run PPC ads to your products and you can optimize your product listings for certain keywords. There are services you can use for that which we trust or you can do it yourself. If you email us bros@startupbros(dot)com we can point you in the right direction :)

Hey Rosie, so we are not tax professionals. But in general you need to always pay sales tax on anything you sell online. It depends on how much you sell and in how many places you sell. I'm not sure what a tax certificate is but in order to pay sales tax you need a sales tax permit. We have an article explaining everything about sales tax. Check it out here: https://startupbros.com/stop-stressing-sales-tax-get-business/

Great article! What would you consider light weight? I was looking at a product that was about 9lbs and 18-24 inches wide. The supplier made it sound like that wasn’t small.

9lbs is going to be heavy to ship, one of my products weights 2lbs and the cost to ship from China can be more than the product costs itself. It's doable, but you will likely have to go with sea shipping to make it cost effective.

You're absolutely right Megan, something that's 9lbs might be more trouble than it's worth.

Thanks Megan! Good info.

So If I make one sale on amazon as an individual seller then I just need to pay taxes on that sale at end of the year or do i need to then actually establish my own business to pay the taxes under. I am ready to go get products right now and try to sell but the whole tax section and business name while signing up are a little worrisome. Thanks

So because you have a social security number, you're a sole proprietor Tom. Any money you make on Amazon counts as income to your yearly total from all of your jobs. You can print out a tax form from your Amazon seller account when you have to pay taxes and file that along with the rest of your paperwork. You don't need to have an LLC right away in order to pay taxes. It's income in general created by the sales that you need to pay taxes on and Amazon allows your to run reports for that. When signing up for a seller account you can put a generic name under business name, it doesn't have to be a legal entity.

Hello! So I would be interested in selling not as a sole proprietor, but as a "corporation" for tax purposes....How would I go about doing that? Is that a long legal process? Does amazon have an option to do that?

Hi Joel, Great info! much thanks. I am new and setting up my Amazon sellers account and under tax settings I'm not certain what to choose as my default product tax code? I live in the U.S. Virgin Islands. I will be selling outdoor camping and sporting equipment through FBA. Should I choose A_GEN_TAX Always Taxable or A_GEN_NOTAX Always Nontaxable ? any advise? Thanks, John

Hi Joel It's really a great and informative article.. I have couple of question regarding this.. I am UK resident and i want Amazon.com USA business professional account so what i need put in the tax interview to sell in amazon.com ? secondly I picked 2-3 products from Alibaba and i want to ship in the amazon FBA so how can i ship those product from Alibaba to Amazon FBA store ?

Hey Ashan, thank you for reading the article :) I hope you ask as many questions as you have! Check out this Amazon Tax Information Interview Guide: In the article above we cover the exact things you would need to open an amazon seller account in the US and for the tax interview if you are not a US resident. And if you are signing up as an "Individual" seller for tax purposes. You need: Credit card Local bank in your country Home Address where you receive personal mail Local Phone number When you fill out the tax interview and select individual as your tax payer status. The form that generates for you is a W9-Ben which means you're exempt from paying income tax in the United States because you're living overseas. We cover this in the article as well but if you want to ship directly from China to the US then you need to use a third party inspection company. We recommend fbainspection.com . They can help you ship directly.

Hi there, I'm a little bit confused with what happens after you order the products. So they ship it to my house and I put the UPC codes on each product? Then send it to the inspection and the inspection will send it to FBA? While this is happening, I can list my product on the seller central?

Hey Angelie, so the questions depends on what you want to do. You have it right, there are just some differences depending on the route you want to take. China--->Your House-->You Place UPC codes--->You send to Amazon FBA--->at the same time list your product on seller central. When you create your shipping plan and tell Amazon fba what you're going to be sending in they will give you the address of the warehouse to ship your products to. The other option.. China--->Inspection company--->You send the inspection company your UPC codes--->They prep your products to go into Amazon fba--> You create the shipping plan and send the inspection company the fba address to send your products for you--->Then the inspection prints out your FBA labels and places them on the boxes. So in one option you do most of the supply chain prepping and in the second option the inspection company does most of the physical preparation. There is no need to use the inspection company if you are willing to receive the products yourself. Please let me know if you need anything else answered!

I'm confused on using UPC or Printing Amazon Labels. Do you recommend one over the other? I didn't see anything about printing Amazon labels in the guide. I just received my products. Should I buy UPCs and put them on, or print Amazon labels and send to FBA? Or am I missing something completely? Thanks for all the info!

Hey Ryan, printing labels can get confusing so I wrote another post just focusing on printing the labels. So you need both UPC and Amazon labels but for different things. UPC codes are ONLY used to list your product on the Amazon platform. You don't need to place them on your products at all. Then when you create an Amazon FBA shipping plan in order to send your products to Amazon FBA you will need to print out the FNSKU which is the Amazon labels and place them on each of your products or product packaging. Amazon only cares about their labels when the product is being sent to their warehouses. You only use the UPC codes in order to list your products initially.

Hi Joel, I’m a bit confused w/ the UPC code issue. Let’s say i’ve ordered 100 dog collars from China, all with the same design but 6 different colors, must I obtain & submit 100 UPC codes to FBA? Please advise, Michael

Hey Michael sorry for taking so long to get back to you! We're actually about to publish an entire article about UPC codes that explains this in huge detail! But keeping it simple: If it's the same dog collar, same design, color, and style. Then you can use 1 UPC code to list all 100 of them. Only when there are variations of products do you need different UPC codes for them. 1 UPC code for an unlimited number of the same product. In your situation each color requires a different code, so buy 6 UPC codes.

Got it - much thanks! Michael

Hi Joel, Awesome post, thanks a lot! Quick question - could you share any more details on the logic behind the "Launch difficulty" column in the product research workbook works? Does the algorithm work when you also do product research in other markets than the US, i.e., amazon.co.uk or amazon.de? Thanks! Jonathan

Hi Joel, Thank you so much for all the information! Quick question- I purchased a product to sell on Amazon through Alibaba. The transaction was very easy. I just finished setting up a selling account with Amazon, but ran into a problem. I tried adding my product to inventory and Amazon is asking for an invoice from my supplier and a letter from the manufacturer giving permission to sell their product. The invoice is no problem but I had no idea I need a letter from the manufacturer! Is there a way around this or do I have product I can't sell on Amazon? Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hi, Amazon Brand Registry now requires an official US Trademark number from USPTO whereas your article doesn't specify that. Is the article outdated? Could you cover this piece by any chance? Thanks.

Hey Kristen! No problem I would love to answer your questions. We can troubleshoot your problem right here. That can happen for a few reasons. If you're listing your product under a different listings ASIN and didn't create your own listing then Amazon might see you as trying to sell someone else's product under their nose. If you didn't do that and created your own listing then there is a chance that your manufacturer also sells on Amazon and has their brand registered. If you're trying to sell under your suppliers brand then Amazon would require the letter from the manufacturer that you're able to sell the product. The other time that this happens is when you are trying to register a brand. If you are a reseller applying for brand ownership, Amazon will ask you to upload an authorization letter from the manufacturer. I'm not sure of your specific situation so let me know what you think and let's keep talking!

I second your question

Hi. I am from India. and being a non american national what are the ways i can start on amazon. I dont have a product right now but i do have an idea what product i want to sell as beginner. but i still dont have a supplier. but i do have some money to start. so please be a friend and guide me.

Wouldn't be better idea if someone choose a supplier located in US and saving the trouble with Chinese? In such case FBAinspection you suggest could be faster and better or not?

FBAinspection has a fantastic infrastructure in place that for them it makes no difference if they work with suppliers from China or the US. They have ships coming from China every month either way so if your products are on there or not :) You should buy products from suppliers that you're comfortable with and the reason why most people get their products from China is because the prices for large orders can be lower. A plus side to ordering from suppliers in China is that they're very flexible in creating unique variations that can make a product specifically yours.

You guys are great! You give so much information without hesitation and I love that. Ok here we go. I developed a product way before I even knew selling on Amazon was a lucrative business. I stated my own brand, posted it Amazon using the free sellers account and only got literally 4 sales but sold many more vending wise. That made me so scared to sell on Amazon but reading and learning more about selling on Amazon made me realize a few things. Ok now here am I am wanting to sell the right way and deciding to stay in my original brand category with the same brand name....is the wise? I had the name trademarked and all but lost motivation in selling. Should I keep the brand name or should I start out fresh. I see so many products I can carry the name over too and I already have experience with Alibaba because that’s where I got my product made in China and used Western Union without a hitct( not advised to do this I hear) my mind is racing and I can see it so clear but this happens to me early on when I need to calm down and get direction. Where should I go from here?

Hello, Thanks a lot for all the information is very useful. I have a question about packaging. Me, beign a small seller I had some problems when tried to packaging by myself, some people complained about that it doesn't look so good, even the product reviews are very good. I have not problem with designing a nice box, we are graphic designers, problem is the cost of it when I tried to buy this kind of customized box. Like I said Im a small seller and need for example around 200 boxes, and quote they made for me (after looking for lot of different webpages, shops etc) is very very expensive. For example Im selling a product: cost: 2€ sell price: 15€ amazon comission: around 5€ + taxes.. and the custom box quote is around: 2/3€ each one. So my question is how can I improve my packaging with this costs? Thank you!

Hey Herman! We are updating this post every single month because of how fast things change and all the information is as up to date as possible. You're right about the brand registry, they now require a registered trademark and we just updated that piece. We're working on a new section that will cover the exact steps after you've been approved for your trademark. In the meantime being approved for the registered trademark can take a couple of months so you can sell under a brand in the meantime that isn't registered with Amazon but you won't be protected. It's not something that needs to happen before you start selling. We're going to finish the full update in a couple of days :)

Hey Tom, I just answered Herman! :)

Hey Gaurav, we can absolutely help. Have you started looking for a supplier yet? Make sure you check out Alibaba first, it's the best marketplace to find quality suppliers. Being from India won't change your ability to sell on Amazon :)

Thank you for this! This is the most helpful guide I’ve read to date

Hey Edwin :) Awesome to hear! Please feel free to ask any Amazon questions you have anytime!

What should be the quantity of a samples ordered to test in the market so as to get a safe result?

Nikos, I would recommend anywhere between 10 to 20 sample units but more importantly it's how fast they get sold. If all 20 sell in 6 months then that's not good but if they sell in a month then you're looking at a good product!

Hi Joel, I am hung up on the details about shipping larger orders from China to FBA, specifically Ultimate Consignee, EIN Numbers, and Duty Fees. I ordered a sample size of 10 straight to my home, and did not encounter any issues. My next order will be 140 units. I do not want cartons sent to my home and would prefer to send them directly to Amazon FBA centers. Is this possible? I am not able to create a shipping plan using my manufacturers address in China as the "from" address. What's the work-around? If I have my manufacturer send the items straight to a forwarding service like FBA Inspect, do I need to prepare anything relating to customs? I spoke to a shipping broker who takes care of ISF forms, customs clearance, and destination and warehouse fees. Is this necessary? What can I do for the least amount of money that doesnt violate any import laws or risk hefty fines/ being turned away by FBA?

Thank you for your answer Joel , I am asking because on the chase of a good supplier from alibaba all they want quantities 50-100+

How to calculate the FBA Inspection cost in a normal scenario because it is a bit vague. If I got it correctly, for 100 pieces in their individual small box ,which all are in a larger carton box, I calculate 100+35$+(100x0,45$) ? ? Thank you again

No problem Nikos I'm happy to answer your questions :) Some suppliers only want larger orders but honestly suppliers are a dime a dozen. If you talk to suppliers and ask them for a "test" order then they would be more willing to make their MOQ smaller.

Yes this was the magic word when you say test market suddenly all they want to give you 20-40 items

I'm so glad the suppliers lowered their minimum order quantity! Keep hustling Nikos, let me know if you need anything at all.

hi joel i just want to know. is this amazon business possible to do from muscat, oman. and please let me know. how can i get this answer. thank you

If found an ideal product small with quite profit margin, product research tool finds it good, BUT when it does not have a certification what you should do? Proceed ? Thank you

Thanks you for this. The most complete and detailed guide to start off on Amazon.

Hi I am new to this and I want to start learning about Retail Arbitrage. I live in the UK does all the information corresponds the same way in the UK? Also if you have any tips for anything else please do give me some. Spyros

This is extremely motivating and helpful! I am an American citizen living in China. If I order and inspect my products from Alibaba in China, will they be able to ship them to the fulfillment center in the US? I don't know where to begin with shipping freights from China. I am also unsure how to register for a seller's account when my address and phone number are Chinese but I am only temporarily living here.

When the supplier does not have a quality certification or management certification then you should try and avoid using them. It's easier to find another supplier than it is to deal with defective products being sent to Amazon FBA and dealing with a customer complaint. I would be cautious.

Hey Lash, I'm so glad you're finding this Amazon guide useful! Please let us know if you have any questions at all :)

Retail Abrbitrage is an awesome place to start! All the information is the exact same in the UK. We have plenty of tips in this Amazon article, our retail arbitrage article and we're putting together a huge retail arbitrage post set to be published in the new year! :) If you have any questions at all please ask away.

Suppliers have their own accounts with freight forwarders that you can use. You can order freight services from Alibaba, or you can use third party companies like fbainspection.com to pick up your products, prep them and send them into Amazon FBA. Suppliers won't normally prep your products to be sent into Amazon fulfillment centers while fbainspection would. The only things you need to open an Amazon account: You will need to provide a credit card that can be charged internationally, Visa or Mastercard. You will need a phone number—if you get a Skype US phone number, that will work in your favor. You will need to provide US bank account information. If you're a US citizen you can open a US bank account from anywhere. Banks will have you fill out forms if you tell them that you just want a checking account.

Hey Joel! I've just started selling on Amazon, well it's been 3 months and it's going great! I'm from the UK and I've hit £1400 gross in 30 days so not bad... I want to now smash it in 2018 and hopefully earn a full time income! Would love to get your opinion on something - There's this outsource team where they look for Online Arbritage deals for you and send you 10 - 12 deals per day and each deal is thoroughly checked to ensure profit is made! i find this quite bizarre! Here's the review for the product - http://nobsinternetmarketer.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/how-you-can-get-10-12-online-deals.html. Would love to hear your opinion on this! Thanks

You can sell on Amazon from anywhere in the world :) The only things you need to open an Amazon account: You will need to provide a credit card that can be charged internationally, Visa or Mastercard. You will need a phone number—if you get a Skype US phone number, that will work in your favor. You will need to provide US bank account information.

Hi Guys, Thank you for this information. It is really helpful. I live in Australia, my question when you order ur first 15 units of samples from a supplier from China. I will need to get them send to Australia first then I personally send them to the US fulfillment centers? Thank you. Ray

Very helpful guide about selling on Amazon. Thanks for sharing.

Great information. Amazon sellers should be very wary about getting UPC barcodes from anyone but GS1. Although some UPC resellers do have clients selling products on Amazon , Amazon is now validating company prefixes against the GS1 GEPIR database. Some of the resellers have tried to confuse prospective companies by creating their own bogus database. You need to stick with the standards. References aside from GS1 are www.gtin.info and www.gs1-us.info

I have spent nearly 2,000 hours on YouTube and reading books to piece together what I need step by step, this is by FAR the very best information! It is highly organized and very detailed. This post will probably change my life I can’t thank you enough!

Very informative article. Thank you! What about the shipping plans to FBA?

Hey Dina, we published an article about shipping plans :) https://startupbros.com/amazon-fba-guide/ Check it out!

i have a question... can i have my logo on products without having a registered brand? Meaning if i just sell as private label without registering brand in amazon. Is there any problem with that?

Hey Jaime yes you can have a logo on your products without having a registered brand. The purpose of a registered brand is to protect against brand hijackers but in the beginning before you develop brand awareness that's not a problem. You need to start the brand first so you can protect it later. There is no problem with selling under a brand name and with a logo, in fact we recommend it!

Can I include a label on a product that carries my brand name and the URL to my company website. We plan to use the website to build brand communities, but link all sales back to our product listings on Amazon.com.

Hi Joel, I have a question concerning the packaging for order samples. For the test order sample of 10-20 units. What about the packaging? I have seen supplier sending samples in a simple small brown box without anything on it. My main question is what do I do about the packaging for my test order? If the supplier has their own branded packaging. I know that I could put a FNSKU label over their barcode. But what about packaging that is a simple brown box without any labels (product name, product picture and so on) on it. How would I prep this packaging for FBA warehouse? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hey Mark, even better you can include a product insert in your packaging where you can tell your customers to find you on your website. I think a product insert would be better than than a label but of course you can include a product label. Either method would work just fine!

I just paid $500 for a course and you gave it all out here free! The only part I don't agree with is the shipping things to your house part. I like the idea of being able to do this completely hands off (except for the beginning with samples and photos). Do you recommend that just so you can make sure the supplier is providing good products in the beginning?

Great question! Amazon has their packaging requirements listed on their website. Check it out here. When you receive the packages at your home you can place them in plain boxes according to Amazons guidelines that I linked to and then you can print out your FNSKU codes and place them on the boxes so they can be accepted into Amazon warehouses. When you create a shipping plan on seller central you tell amazon that, for example, you're sending a single box with 6 units of your product in that box to be sold separately. You will get 1 FNSKU to place on the box and you send it in, that's it. Depending on the product you have Amazon has specific guidelines for preparing those products which I linked to.

Hey Lauren, that's exactly what we like to hear! We want people to take action and we want our free stuff to be 10000 times better than paid programs. Exactly we don't recommend doing everything manually either but you have to in the beginning for product photos and quality assurance. The last thing you want is to send people products that are awful and makes them leave bad reviews. :)

hi how we can get a complete copy of Product Research Workbook I tried to get one but not all function ( Colum) working will) regards

Hi. My country (Jamaica) is not listed as one of the countries accepted for seller registration so how would this work for people like me?

I have a print marketing company we do Business cards, flyers, tshirts, pens, mugs, folders, anything as far as printing how can i get set up to sell these services on Amazon?

Hi I have a question regarding selling on amazon, i have a print marketing business (we don business cards tshirts flyers anything as far as printing) how do i get started to sell? and what are the requirements for that?

Hi! Kadar from India. It seems too much hidden costs to ship a good product from china. you speaks about lots of third parties. If we pay everyone like inspection,shipping than there is pretty sure we will not comes up with any good margin. Thank you for your effort to bring everything in to this single article.

I spend one week to read this article and enjoyed alot.. it's one of the high quality comprehensive guideline for biggener.. you covered beautifully every steps in this guide.. GOD blessed you!!!

Hey Joel, I don't live in the U.S.A. So, I have to manage sending the products from the Chinese supplier to Amazon warehouses. Questions: 1) How do the products reach Amazon FBA? You said: ***Suppliers from China do not ship products to Amazon FBA for you!*** 2) The supplier says that the units are in poly bags one by one and 100 of them in carton. Do I have to consider anything else except the NFSKU number in order the carton to be accepted by Amazon? Thank you in advance.

Thank you so much for this article. I live in Florida but I have a student visa, I’m not resident yet. Do I have to be resident to get that taxpayer? Ultimately I could borrow my brother’s SSN but I need to know if I can do this by myself. Please help!!!

Go to IRS.gov and attempt to get an EIN - then set up an LLC with the EIN on SunBiz.org. I am not 100% sure if you'll be able to, but that's how I would personally try!

Thanks for putting in the time, glad it was worth it :)

Thanks for reading!

I've been studying startupbros.com material obsessively the last couple of weeks. I have a solid understanding of most of what you have taught. Can I get an honest answer though, is it still a good time to get into the amazon FBA game? I'm looking to quit the corporate job and build a LONG TERM online business. Is Amazon FBA long term or do you think this will become even more heavily saturated in the coming near future to the point that making a great living will no longer be feasible for most people aside from the absolutel top performers? Thanks, Aaron

Do you know if anyone has written an in-depth article like this about using Amazon and doing the merchant fulfillment instead of FBA? My product isn't compatible with the FBA model because it's gourmet chocolates. I need to know the pros and cons related to the UPC / Bar code route versus trade marking. I've read so much contradictory information on the internet regarding the UPC / Amazon issue that I'm seriously confused.

The above guide how to sell on amazon for any beginner is very well explained and the step is also easy .I work as a consultant in Evantage store which provide Amazon Account setup , SEO Managment Visit

Awesome Amazon article! Thank you for sharing. selling on Amazon is hard but I'm glad you guys wrote this!

I have been asked to pay for shipping of the samples, and they have mentioned that I can pay them directly through PayPal. Isn’t there a way to pay for samples through Alibaba.com, or is it ok to send a payment through PayPal for the shipping?

Hey Phillip, what you're thinking about is Trade Assurance which is a way that people can pay for things on Alibaba. However we always recommend PayPal to pay for samples :) PayPal is secure and your money is always protected if for some reason your samples never get to your house.

Glad you enjoyed it! Let us know if you need anything at all!

Hey Darleen, I hope you can email us [redacted] and we would love to talk further and see if we can help!

Hi, thanks for your article its seems great. I am still very new but really motivated to sell on amazon and defiantly will be using your guide! Quick question on "Alibaba Supplier Negotiation Template" - How can I introduce myself as a company to supplier if I even don't have a website. Won't it be the first thing they will ask for? Will appreciate your response. Kristina

Hello, thank you very much for such good help you provide on this website. The information that you share helped me a lot, but I need some help with posting my item!, When I add "color-white,black"on variation section this message would appear--(Your variation child ASINs have been created. To complete your listings, find the variation child listings in your inventory and select ‘Edit’ to add an image for each variation child. Please note that each variation child listing requires an image to be active on the Amazon website.) The problem is i don't know, don't understand what that means! Please help if you can. Thanks Alexey,

Hey guys, great stuff! I have recently written about it as well, dropping the link here in case you find it valuable for updates: You were a major inspiration for it so I made sure to mention your article as a valuable resource :)
