Author here. We chose to offer a dual commercial license for this case, which is not GPL and carries none of the obligations regarding sharing source code. Of course the tradeoff is that it is not free (as in beer), but if your startup is g

Thanks for sharing this. I'm in quite a similar situation with my own OSS project - it is about 5 years old now, and was started to scratch my own itch. It has naturally gained significant traction - fortune 500s building on it, startu

Hi HN! I'm the maintainer of Vendure. Today we released our major new version, which is a huge upgrade. I work on Vendure full time. I've been building it for about 5 years now, and last year I got a co-founder, started a company,

I'm the co-founder of a headless commerce backend framework (Vendure) and I've known of the Vue Storefront project for quite a while now. Headless commerce (i.e. API-driven, decoupled front-end) is maximally flexible but comes wit

Small note on the part about the price range UI controls: the author criticizes Amazon for using min, max number inputs rather than a slider control. 2 arguments against a slider: 1. Potentially it is much harder to make an accessible slide

Hi James, congratulations on the launch! The website looks great, your pitch is compelling and the vision is very similar to what I've been doing with vendure.io, which takes the same approach but towards ecommerce rather than CMS. Nam

I'd like to +1 for Northflank. I've been using it for a few months for smaller projects and experiments, and the dashboard and overall experience has been great. Free tier is good enough to run small apps, and pricing is very comp

Not my project, though I'm a user of it and a big fan, is Typesense ( https://github.com/typesense/typesense ), an extremely fast and lightweight search engine. Per Github it's 90% C++ and 8% C.

Hi! Great work so far. Does the team have a vision for a way to standardize the front-end part of shopify apps? That seems to be the really tricky part of a appstore-based platform going headless.

Simple - the load on their origin servers is cut down significantly. And GraphCDN made it easy and painless to set up. I don't know of any other options that can do schema-aware caching in this way that is as user-friendly as Stellate.

I work on a GraphQL-based e-commerce framework and several of my users have had good experiences integrating GraphCDN/Stellate into their projects. Recently I started working with it too and so far the product has been great to work wi

The thing that rarely gets discussed re Bolt and Fast is what most merchants think about the idea of one click checkout from product detail pages. IMO there are misaligned incentives in many, many cases in that this flow would tend to reduc

As a teenager in the UK I bought an issue of a PC magazine that had a cover CD (remember?) with Borland C++ Builder. That's what got me started with programming. A while later the same mag gave away a copy of Delphi. That really opened

My initial answer is "hell no" but on second thought I maybe need more context. As others asked, how much do I expect it to generate? How much do I have to play with? Am I a BigCo with an end of year departmental budget to burn? E

(author here) That's a nice twist on the idea! You got me wondering whether a lottery win would change my plans. I love working on Vendure, I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to do so full time.

Thanks for the kind words, and good to hear you have open-sourced the admin panel app - I feel that is really key for allowing devs to quickly get a feel for using the system. And yes, I'd be really interested to chat! You can email me

There is a compelling argument for headless e-commerce, which is the _freedom to build and rebuild your storefront using the technologies that you want_. With non-headless (traditional) platforms, you are limited to using the templating fea

I work in e-commerce and this kind of thing is totally standard. You get salespeople trying to sell you this and much worse regularly. I was once pitched the exact dark pattern as in the OP - covert email collection. I was gobsmacked. I wro
