I worked for an ecom company (in finance) and we were looking at replatforming. I wondered two things: how hard is it to write an ecom store, and could it be much more performant.
I suppose main problem with going too brutal would be that many people would find it hard to trust.
- totetsu 3y agoI find it hard to trust a site that sells cat by the pint.
- gidorah 3y agoYou might be able to tell that I wrote a script to generate products. Product name * Unit of measure
- mhd 3y agoTo each their own. I've been looking for a good source for bonsai kittens for over 20 years now!
- talideon 3y agoIndeed! They should be sold by the litre, what with cats being liquids...
- hgsgm 3y agoPint is liquid measure.
- cnity 3y agoI really like interfaces like this honestly. If it included the product images and clicking the image opened the full image in a new tab (the normal browser way by linking to the image source) it would be perfect.
- gidorah 3y agoYeah, that would be nice. Images wasnct something I did. I think a search function would have been good too.

- cnity 3y agoYes. In this design, color could actually _mean_ something. Interesting how color grabs your attention in a helpful way when it isn't all over the place.

- sphars 3y agoSmall nitpick on your site. I added an item to my basket, and the value that appears next to the basket link is (0) instead of (1): https://i.imgur.com/AB8Xjqb.png https://i.imgur.com/AB8Xjqb.png
- wpm 3y agoNow now, nothing says a shopping cart has to show the length of the array, and not the value of the last index. I jest of course.
- gidorah 3y agoYeah, the thing is I'm an accountant not a professional coder. I couldn't work it out. It did bother me, but not enough to sort properly as this was abit of fun.
- wpm 3y agoThis is very funny but also the more I mess about with it, the more I like it. As absurd as finding a glass of ice water in the middle of the Sahara: nonetheless refreshing.
- GoblinSlayer 3y agoThat's much better than local online store SPA I used that leaked memory many megabytes per second, so I periodically reset the SPA so that the browser can free the leaked memory.
