Gated is a developer-first platform to monetize and track code. It turns GitHub repos into revenue with direct-to-seller payouts. Creators can share interactive preview trees so buyers explore directory structures safely before purchasing. Beyond code paywalls, Gated includes smart URL masking with real-time click telemetry and instant note sharing. It provides an all-in-one workspace to protect intellectual property and monetize projects in minutes.
Inspiration and Problem:
Building templates and code tools takes tons of effort, but monetizing them is painful. Uploading .zip files manually is tedious, and buyers hesitate to purchase code without seeing the file structure first.
How it Evolved:
I wanted a native GitHub solution. Gated evolved from a simple paywall script into a complete workspace: direct GitHub repo monetization with direct seller payouts, interactive file preview trees so buyers can inspect code structures safely, and smart URL masking with click telemetry.
