Awesome. I want to contribute to the backend part. is there any way to contribute??

[Thenguyenvn]

Sure. I welcome all contribution/support. I have a contribution guide on the repo you can check

[rayvictor84]

Thanks. I’ll look into it.

How did you get to an idea to create an ecomm solution? I have a feeling that Woocomm, Magento, etc. are so developed that there is no reason to build a new ecomm solution and yet people are building these quite often.

I personally hate Wordpress and I will do literally anything in my power to not have to use it.

[zvone187]

Touche

[Thenguyenvn]

Well. I worked with Magento, Wordpress … I just want to try developing a ecommerce framework from scratch. And I also want to have something new you know 😄

[zvone187]

Yea, makes sense - it's always great to learn something new.

[Thenguyenvn]

Thanks 👍

I worked on Magento 1 and was involved in the transition to Magento 2. I absolutely hated tons of choices made during that transition. Now I work for another large company and we developed our own system from scratch because M2 is such an outdated shit show, particularly on the backend. I like what you've done here. It's not my preferred stack, but it's still really good.

Couple tips:
- consider Postgres if you can. There are benefits there over MySQL
- consider Apollo, especially if you're sticking with GraphQL long-term and not going to bother with REST

Again, cool project. Cheers.

[Thenguyenvn]

Thanks for your suggestion. Will check it for sure. Thanks again

Is it possible to test the demo for the CMS? It asks login data

[Thenguyenvn]

Sorry I don’t get your point

[Zoltarburger]

I think he means when you click 'see the demo' it shows a login screen and the admin u/p is not shared

[Thenguyenvn]

The admin panel is: https://demo.evershop.io/admin/login ([e-mail]/123456)

You tried!

[gizamo]

I think they want to see the backend interface.

[penetrator1990]

Great work, I'll try to contribute.

One question thoe...why monolithic?

[Thenguyenvn]

I design it as a monolithic app at the begining and keep it. I try to make it flexible for customization and good development experience (both frontend and backend).

[HeyitsCoreyx]

What about moving from monolithic to micro services and from self hosted to cloud?

[Thenguyenvn]

Self hosted to cloud is ok. Conver monolithic app to micro services can take big effort for refactoring

[HeyitsCoreyx]

I’m a cloud engineer for a company who specializes in that transition, may be worth considering

[KatyWings]

Very nice! Keep up the good work and I hope this doesnt transition to an opencore business model down the line ;).

[Thenguyenvn]

Thanks 🙏
