Hey Gang,

The Propellerpowered shop just passed it's one year mark!

One of the biggest challenges we have had this year has been store traffic. It's tricky being heard in a booming market of electronics shops great and small. We are preparing to change this by moving our storefront to Tindie.com. You'll be able to access all of our materials and support forums through Propellerpowered as always, just the actual store will change to Tindie.com. Don't worry, we'll handle the links! :)

We're preparing to move about 80% of the inventory to the new Tindie storefront. Shipping will continue to happen every single weekday as you've come to expect. Tindie.com is already a very busy place and we expect this will help bring the Propeller to the attention other micro users!

Then there's that 20% we don't want to move... Into the BARGIN BIN!

We've got several new projects in the works for this fall... This change will allow us to get them in front of folks.

    Jeff,
    I had never heard of tindie before. I checked it out and it looks pretty cool.
    I hope you like your new home.

    We've been working with them on a sort of "trial" basis the last six months. I'm very pleased with the synergy.

    Interestingly, many of the Propellerheads I've already mentioned this to have also never heard of Tindie.
    If you browse the site a bit, you'll find a lot of "the other guys" there, but with that, curious traffic, something we need.

    There's a couple features which Tindie is planning to implement to help us in this transition. They have an amazing staff that remind me of the folks at Parallax.

    Our current location on Tindie.com is http://www.tindie.com/propellerpowered -- There isn't much there yet, and certainly there are some transitional features (as mentioned) inactive at this point, but I'm pretty sure we'll like our new digs. :)
