Building an ecommerce platform, initially targeted at a niche. I aim to then use foundation from the niche platform to spin off a general platform (if that doesn't take, it'll be fine if the niche is successful regardless) that will link up with the initial niche. The niche will act as a feeder for the general platform. I haven't built anything in the ecommerce space in about 16 years, so it's a fun return home. One of the first things I ever built of consequence, not quite two decades ago, was a competitor to eBay. Very boring initial stack. Ubuntu, Nginx, Redis, MySQL, PHP, Go, JavaScript. No frameworks (I almost never use frameworks for anything; I've built up my own stock and reuse it and evolve it year after year). Various caching with Nginx and Redis. It won't need anything else for a while. Solo built over about seven months roughly. Going to attempt to self-fund indefinitely, not interested in sharing ownership with investors (specifically it's just so much easier to not deal with investors if you don't have to; I don't have to worry about generating a return for them, or getting them an exit).
