Need a few FFLs to kick the tires

Hi everyone, I'm an FFL who built a new software platform for FFLs. Basically, "by an FFL, for FFLs". If you like what you have, you can probably skip reading the rest.

Three main ideas:

  • Compliance is built in from the start
  • One product = one search result
  • Designed around the things existing systems tend to make painful

I'm looking for a few early testers who want to help shape it before launch.

What you give:

  • Your time
  • Your suggestions
  • Your frustrations
  • Honest feedback on what actually matters to dealers

What you get:

  • A voice in the features (you might finally get what you need)
  • A new dealer website/storefront (replace what you have - it doesn't work well anyway)
  • Recognition as a foundational member (this won't be bigger than Amazon but, still...)
  • Early access to something built around real FFL workflows (how exciting)

If this sounds useful, interesting, or fun, please DM me.

You can also just send me your top 10 gripes without participating. I'll try to make sure they are addressed either way.

The goal is simple: build something better with input from the people who actually have to use it.

I need 5 brave FFL souls

Dear FFL friends,

I'm an FFL, a software architect with 30+ years of experience, and I've been selling online for about 10 years.

I built a new FFL marketplace because, well, let's just say the existing options leave some room for spiritual growth.

It has:

  1. Better compliance controls for state restrictions, CA roster issues, mag limits, NYC ZIP codes, Chicago-area restrictions, and more. The goal is 99.5%+ compliance coverage, with the platform doing the homework and the dealer still getting the final sanity check. Because compliance sucks.
  2. One product page per item, instead of hundreds of duplicate search results for the same thing. GunBroker is giving me a headache.
  3. Modern design that feels like it was built this century.
  4. Useful dealer storefronts, not just a logo slapped on a generic page. Yes, I tried GearFire.
  5. Real FFL input before launch, not guesses from a conference room.

It's almost ready, but I'm looking for 5 beta testers willing to give honest feedback and help shape it.

In return, these brave souls will be recognized as foundational dealers and get a full-featured storefront for $99/month for life.

If you're an FFL and this sounds interesting, please reach out directly. Or comment with what you hate most about the current platforms. Or just give this your thumbs up.

P.S. You know that Gary Oldman "EVERYONE!" meme from "Leon: The Professional"? That's basically me answering "what features are going in this thing?" Except the word is "EVERYTHING!"
