News¶
Scipress now supports sellers outside the U.S. 🎉
A guy in India approached me about using Scipress to sell content. At the time, Scipress was only set up to support U.S. based sellers. His request motivated me to open the platform up to sellers in other countries. However, in a cruel twist of fate, it turns out that Stripe does not support India sellers for US based platforms. 🤷♂️ Regardless, Scipress is now accessible to sellers in most countries.
Scipress also got its first YouTube video tutorial + review thanks to Mona Alfonso 🙌
A few users (rightfully) complained that they lost unsaved changes to a post by navigating to a different page. Scipress now auto-saves a copy of your post every five seconds so that this doesn't happen. However, the auto-saved version is not "backed up" like a normal save, so don't rely on it!
