June has been a game changer for Tindie. Not only were we invited to participate in the White House’s first ever Maker Faire, we also turned 2!

This month, we launched one of our most exciting features to date: Markets. With Tindie Markets, we’ve given full control of categories to you, the community. From now on, you will be able to create any category you want, and add any product to that category.
45 markets were founded, including /m/sparkcore/, /m/HomeAutomation/, and /m/drones/. So far after only one week of being live, we are seeing 100 new market memberships per day.
You can explore our new marketplace here.
