I’m building an open-source Shopify for every vertical. I’ve built one for e-commerce and restaurants (gym and grocery is in the works). If you want, you can help me build one of them?

I'm very interested in your open-source Shopify project for e-commerce.

Do you consider Event-Source Commerce as part of this project?

Examples of Commerce events:

Catalog events - Product created, price changed

Inventory events - Quantith change

Order events - order created, cancelled

Routing events - order received, routing decision made

Shipment events - shipment created, tracking assigned

Customer events - Customer registered, address changed

Supplier events - Feed arrived

Taxonomy Events - Category created

did you try medusa? what were the shortcomings that made you build this

		Medusa is what our schema is based on but we have diverted a bit since then. The main difference is that Openfront is a Next.js application with the graphQL API, storefront, and dashboard built-in. Because of this, it’s one click deploy on Railway and Vercel whereas Medusa uses express and requires running multiple applications. Because it’s all bundled in 1 Next app, it’s very easy for businesses to pick up and adapt to their business. In fact, this is how we are building the different openfronts. Like when we added payment providers like Stripe and PayPal to e-commerce, we told AI to look at how we did that and add it to restaurants, etc. Down the line, we want to allow users to create custom Openfronts by remixing existing ones. Like if you’re a restaurant and want to sell merch, you can bring in those features from e-commerce to the restaurant software.
