Luke, maaaaaaate! Yeah nah yeah, these are bloody tops mate! Better than finding one last can of VB at the bottom of the ice in the esky when you thought they were all gone. Goodonya.
Luke presented Straya Stickers at a Product Hunt event in Sydney.
Prior to that he presented Refinery.io at Product Hunt Sydney too, but wanted a break from SaaS! So he decided to do something fun and humours, where customers would just 'get it'.
Luke is a great presenter, and has a great sense of humour, and did sport a man-bun at one point; so this was a natural extension of that talent.
I've asked Luke for some info about the story behind Straya Stickers. Straya here is a local urban pronunciation of Australia.
The product has gained some good traction in the local startup community in Australia, when Luke decided to spin off some merchandise. It shows that there is more to an 'idea' than just software.
Anyway, enjoy the product, and here's an extract from Luke's description (writing in the third person) of the product (feel free to put some of the unusual surrounding words below into Google for translation ;)
Enter Luke:

Story
After 4 failed attempts at getting the sticker pack past the App Store, we finally have a bloody ripper product. Some massaging of the word list and heavy handed explaining (including submitting screenshots of urban dictionary & removal of a few borderline phrases such as ‘cunce’ & ‘fark awf’) and Straya Stickers was approved.
Straight outta Sydney, local Motion Graphic Designer & Entrepreneur Luke Simshauser, created Straya Stickers on a whim and LOL. After a few other startups failing and still and still kicking along in the background, he decided to go smaller scale and ridiculous. With a Sharpie in hand, a few rough-as-guts sketches & p*ss pooor illustrations were mashed & mangled into something resembling a decent App.
It’s the perfect storm of Aussie humorous iconography...
