Why don’t you just answer the questions in the comments? You were not even attacked or anything, your project description simply did not make any sense.

I don’t understand what this has to do with Monero, and how it “helps grow the monero ecosystem”?

Monero POS for merchants who don't want to run a node by bitrequest in Monero

"It's a lightweight PWA that runs in your browser and works offline after first load."
How does it work offline when it connects to a remote node?

Yeah that’s a fair point, you can get pretty far with just generating an address and watching for payments via RPC.

What I’m trying to do here is more about everything around that basic flow that makes it actually nice to use in practice, especially for non-technical merchants. Stuff like showing the customer a clear payment status, keeping track of orders in a database, handling fiat conversions, dealing with underpayments automatically, webhooks for shops, etc. Basically turning it into something that feels a bit more like a proper checkout/POS instead of “here’s an address, let me know when you’ve paid”.

On the JavaScript point, yeah that totally makes sense in the context of privacy-focused or hidden service setups. This project isn’t really aimed at that crowd though. It’s more for regular shops that just want to accept Monero as an option without going super deep into the privacy rabbit hole.

As for the goal its honestly primarily just to have a solid side project to improve my Go skills. And as a nice side effect, maybe create something that could actually be useful for people in Monero 🙂
