Will the car price starts to increase due to the chip shortage?


Price increases already happened in the US for used cars. This will only continue the premium for used cars.


Why is it not affecting new car pricing as dramatically? And why would that continue? Used car prices cannot surpass new car prices surely, so at some point new car prices will be raised because of the low supply and high demand, or new car orders won't be fulfilled for months later


Used cars have surpassed new car prices in the past. Generally because new cars can't actually be bought at any price. A car today is sometimes worth more than a better car that doesn't exit.


The thing that helped me improve is just to become always curious about the new upcoming tech stacks. That way, you will always get ahead of the pack. Practice and build side projects so that they will drastically build up your understanding.


To dream about the world that they are about to experience, that's truly amazing. Imagine that the newborns are not aware of the dangers, cope with their surroundings, and become familiar with them.


Can you give an example of a business that uses this? How does this set apart significantly from other competitors with similar use cases and functionalities?


We've launched just last week, so there aren't any sizeable businesses who've joined SellApp (yet).

However, the few dozen sellers I did have a chance to talk to, primarily cite three reasons why they switch to us instead of staying at a competitor:

1. Our freemium pricing. When a seller wants to spin up a storefront and sell a digital product, most competitors charge upfront (i.e. Shopify, Sellfy, Podia) whereas we have a completely free plan a seller can make use of immediately.

2. The way payouts work. Alternatives tend to hold/custody funds for a specific timeframe for various reasons. SellApp makes it possible for a seller to directly link their PayPal and Stripe accounts with their storefronts, resulting in them receiving payments instantaneously.

3. The interface/UI. As also mentioned in a few other replies, competitors tend to start off as a digital product storefront, but then completely neglect it in favor of physical products, tipping, email/affiliate marketing, and so on. That, for the average digital goods seller, becomes overwhelming and unnecessary. SellApp's intuitive and minimal design is a 'breathe of fresh air' in that sense.
