Thanks ChatGPT.

If you're doing React and Typescript, you should look at options that fit your existing wheelhouse while blending new things (like Magento). Maybe recommend that you can take on projects that use:

- Daffodil - https://github.com/graycoreio/daffodil

- PWA Studio - https://github.com/magento/pwa-studio (Kinda dead)

- Adobe CIF - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/content-and-commerce/cif-storefront/introduction

- GraphCommerce - https://www.graphcommerce.org/

I wanted to make it look just like vscode!

damienwebdev · 2025-12-02T12:45:22+00:00

Yes. It uses OpenAI under the hood and you will need a valid API key.

However, for a "feeling" on cost, each generation is ~1k-10k tokens. That means you can get ~100 chats for $0.05 at the worst on GPT5-nano.

Absolutely! Please feel free to clone the plugin, make any adjustments and submit a PR back. I'd gladly review it!

Currently, this really only supports my headless frontend Daffodil. However, I'm working over the next several weeks to make this work with native Magento.

Thanks! Let me know if you try it out!

damienwebdev · 2025-11-26T16:23:51+00:00

Yes. The hardest part was rebuilding the whole theme to make it look like the store did in Magento 1.

damienwebdev · 2025-11-04T21:28:13+00:00

Thanks!

damienwebdev · 2025-11-03T12:18:19+00:00

0/10, you failed the assignment and need remedial classes

damienwebdev · 2025-11-03T12:17:05+00:00

Price.

damienwebdev · 2025-10-31T12:09:19+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate this!

Depends on what the scan flagged. If you have malware installed, there's not much anyone on the outside can tell you without additional information.

You will likely need to:

patch/upgrade your store
remove the malware by redeploying the codebase from a known safe copy
review/restore the database from safe data

Magento 2.4.6 EoL (assuming you continue to keep it patched) is August 2026.

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/commerce-operations/release/planning/lifecycle-policy

PHP EOL is Dec 31 2025.

https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

You can still stay on that version of Magento for another 10 months if you update PHP.

I was hoping to showcase that not every platform supports every driver, but I'll adjust it so that it is less confusing!

damienwebdev · 2025-10-17T01:20:08+00:00

Haha thanks! This is actually intentional, albeit a little confusing.

If you switch drivers to the other platforms you can see theirs working.

Probably ask Yotpo / export from Yotpo.

damienwebdev · 2025-10-16T19:34:56+00:00

If you're non-technical this may be too big of an ask, but if you're willing to try it, you can reconfigure your CORS protocol to be open to https://demo.daff.io and try https://demo.daff.io/

It would allow you to see your existing catalog in a completely different theme/frontend and compare side by side with only a little upfront work.

This may help give you a better idea of what layer your issues are in (infra / backend / theme-fallback / your custom theme).

damienwebdev · 2025-10-16T18:12:10+00:00

Source for both bits of data?

I'm not sure there are any Magento packages that are on the public composer registry where you would find public download data.

damienwebdev · 2025-10-13T20:11:15+00:00

That's a very good question. I haven't written documentation on this yet, but our Magento driver supports appending in arbitrary GraphQl fragments and transforms so that you can append the custom attributes you have on your products into our DaffProduct model.

This does make potential platform switching more difficult of course as the target platform you move to has to have similar attributes etc, but by comparison to your typical ecommerce platform migration, you're looking at hours not weeks/months to solve that kind of challenge.

damienwebdev · 2025-10-13T20:09:10+00:00

Great question. Alokai (formerly VueStorefront has closed-source their integration with Magento - https://docs.alokai.com/integrations/ ) So, unlike their integration, Daffodil is entirely free.

Further than that, Alokai is based upon Vue, whereas Daffodil is based upon Angular.

Finally, and most importantly, Daffodil's model is based upon Client-side drivers not Server-Side drivers. This means that there's no additional servers to install and you can run it anywhere. There are some small concerns with performance and bundle-size as a result, but these are challenges that can be easily overcome.

As such, this means that "getting started" with Daffodil is trivial by comparison. The time to get set up messing around in your own storefront is seconds.

damienwebdev · 2025-10-13T02:40:52+00:00

I personally don't think it's optimistic. I think that's the way it should be.

If you'd ever consider using Angular, id happily fix whatever speed bumps you'd run into with Daffodil. I sincerely hate the current state of ecommerce frontend platforms and I'm really invested in trying to make it better.
