Really appreciate the kind words! Right now, I'm searching for and adding the domains manually. My biggest goal with the site is to offer domains that actually look and sound good. Something a startup would genuinely want to use.
1) The frameless prints have no backing (just a sheet).
2) I've definitely looked into it, not 100% happy with the options right now but open to it in the future.
3) I hadn't planned on it but a bunch of people on reddit requested it and why not! If you'd like custom prints, feel free to email me anytime: [email protected] and I'll get back to you with a quote!
Over the past few months I've been obsessed with making my place look better and after reading a bunch of advice on r/malelivingspace they convinced me to buy an area rug (best purchase of my life) and to get some art on my walls.
I looked all over the place and most of the prints I found online were $60+ a pop and that was kind of…too much? So I decided to make Bachelor Apt.
Some quick info:
- All prints come in 4 sizes: 8”x10” ($12.95) / 12”x16” ($20.95) / 18”x24” ($25.95) / 24"x36" ($32.95)
- Museum quality. Printed on thick, durable, acid-free, matte archival paper.
- International shipping
- Prints are sourced from some great photographers and organizations (including NASA!). They’re all public domain, which helps keep the price down!
- You can add a frame to any print (they can get a little pricey; working on that!)
I’m working on adding more prints to the site as I write this (some illustrated ones, too!).
Hey! Just a copy & paste from a comment I wrote earlier:
We really like uShip! But we're different. While uShip has the functionality to offer local moves, their primary focus is on larger long-haul moves. Movers generally use their service to fill empty space on their trucks so they can get the most for their time/fuel costs.
Our main focus is on local moves. We've tried using uShip for in-city moves in a few cities and getting bids for these on their site is pretty hit and miss since most of their drivers prefer a longer haul.

Hey! moveline.com looks pretty cool. We're less focused on long-haul moves, although our site can easily accommodate them (we have a few long-haul gigs posted up right now) and more focused on short, "I need this desk moved across town" gigs.
Hey, thanks so much for your feedback! We're working on adding a way for users to browse existing gigs right now!
We chose to go with "gig" for two reasons:
- It's a less formal way to say "job" which could be misleading for drivers looking for work, since most of these moves will be one-off things.
- We looked at the popular sections on craigslist where drivers post their services or users post looking for drivers and those sections are Services & Gigs; so we went with gigs for familiarity.
Definitely agree! We're working on adding user generated reviews right now and would love to eventually verify drivers with their license/insurance info. Appreciate your input!
For the time being we're thinking of ourselves as just a platform for drivers to meet users and don't plan directly hiring drivers. Kind of like a moving dating website. We would like to eventually verify the drivers insurance/licensing and award them badges on the site so users know who they're hiring, though!
We currently have both! We have people using the site in Vancouver and Victoria right now and both licensed movers and guys with trucks are bidding on gigs. We're working on adding a badge system and reviews so users can quickly see how they're dealing with before accepting a bid.
Edit: right now we're focusing on local moves within cities but there's we have no problem with the site being used for long-haul moves.
See you in your inbox tomorrow :)
