What they are

Flux

Flux is a family of text-to-image models from Black Forest Labs, the team behind Stable Diffusion. It generates high-resolution, photorealistic and stylized images from text prompts, with strong prompt adherence and fine detail. Creators, designers, and developers use it via API or third-party platforms. Flux produces genuinely impressive output, but there is no native consumer app, so getting started requires some technical setup or a compatible host.

Gumroad

Gumroad is a storefront platform where creators sell digital goods like ebooks, courses, music, templates, and software directly to buyers. It handles payments, file delivery, and basic licensing with minimal setup. Indie creators and solopreneurs favor it for its low friction, though Gumroad takes a 10% $0.50 fee on every sale with 30% fee on discover marketplace sales, which adds up quickly at higher revenue volumes.
