Cool stuff! I've been using Paddle but I'll check out Polar! Just recently learned about the concept of Merchant of Record - it's great!

@birk Fantastic video presentation! The open-source approach is such a win for developers. How can developers contribute to the platform, and are there plans for community-driven enhancements?
Birk Jernström
@taras_tymoshchuk Thank you - really appreciate that! Yes, we definitely welcome contributors. Will invest a lot more in the coming months in better documentation and onboarding for contributors so that's a great first place to start: Try & give us feedback/issues along the way + help document.
