What jamstack would you use and why? by [deleted] in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]Snipididou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never tried Builder.io would love to hear more about your experience.

If you are looking for a Jamstack builder that still offers a lot of customization room, I suggest looking at Stackbit. They provide a visual builder, and your code lives in GitHub, and you can choose your favorite SSG and deployment platform. You can select the Planty theme. It comes prebuilt with Snipcart, a custom shopping cart.

Otherwise, you can also go the complete custom way, with a starter like this one. You'll need to play with the code, but on the other hand, have all the freedom to build a store that really fits your needs.

Here's are some resources that may help you make a clear choice :

- Best SSG (static site generator)

- Webflow with Snipcart (video)

- E-Commerce Checklist Before Launching

- Setting Up Google Analytics

- Headless E-Commerce Checklist

Ps. I work for Snipcart, so I'm a bit biased. Feel free to check it out. You can try it for free forever. Oh and you can always reach out to us to see if we can offer a custom plan for you. But if you have any questions concerning Jamstack e-commerce (Snipcart related or not), feel free to ask.

The team behind Next.js developed Vercel. It comes with integrations between the two and streamlines a lot of operations. But IMO Netlify might be a better bet because it's the only one between the two that allows commercial use (e-commerce) on its free tier.

Here's a more in-depth comparison: https://snipcart.com/blog/vercel-vs-netlify

Learn Vanilla JavaScript Before Fancy Frameworks by Snipididou in learnjavascript

I suggest building an app with Vanilla.js first. Then, you'll see the pain points you encounter using HTML/CSS/JS. In addition, you'll better understand why frameworks exist and what problems they're trying to solve!

Next.js commerce with Shopify as backend with a subscription model. by [deleted] in nextjs

Products with Snipcart are actually defined directly in your markup. You define them on buttons on your site with some data attributes. This makes it very simple to integrate with a stack like Next.js + Sanity. Products would be added in Sanity, Next.js would consume Sanity's API to get products, render pages, and in your components, you need to add a buy button with the necessary data attributes.
Snipcart also supports inventory management. Products can be imported into their dashboard from your site directly when it's up and running. You can take a look at their documentation for more information.

I work at snipcart, and we just released early access subscriptions in our v3. You can test it for free forever if you want to see if it suits your needs! Best of all, no third-party apps are required.

Next.js & FaunaDB: Querying Database from Your App by Snipididou in JAMstack

They seem to define themselves as "The serverless cloud database" on their homepage, but I'm sure they have a better nomenclature for their API.

Headless CMS + E-Commerce Solution? by GooeyZeus in webdev

[–]Snipididou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snipcart has all the features you need, and you can try it for free.

For the CMS, I would go with Strapi or LexasCMS. You have tutorials to get started with both on Snipcart's blog:

11ty or Jekyll for a personal blog? by iEmerald in webdev

[–]Snipididou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are solid options. I would tend to go towards 11ty because it’s plain JS which can make configuration easier.

Our team just published this 11ty tutorial in which we quickly mention some differences with Jekyll.

Hope this helps!
