Shopframe
This is a very early stage v.01 of what I’m hoping to make into a decent barebones framework for a webshop. I’m planning to build out the basic functionality in such a way that a coder with fairly basic ruby/rails/css/html skills can get a shop up and running pretty quickly and can spend their time getting it to look and feel the way they want it to, instead of coding the shopping cart and inventory management system. I’m not trying to compete with turnkey solutions like spree, but just provide a bit of a platform for people to be creative with their stores.
fair warning, I’m pretty new to web app programming, so a lot of things will take time, might not be secure, and may not adhere to “best practise”. Any helpful comments about security or refactoring will be appreciated, though.
First I was tackling the basic layout, as that was what seemed easier after a bit of a break from writing code, but now I really need to get my chops back in the backend space, so on with the Ruby!
Things I need to do at the beginning:
- Product listings (basic, more tags and things will come later)
- Users
- Shopping cart
- Payment system (anyone know a good gem for this?)
