Looks nice but to be a Shopify alternative, headless is not the way. Does it come with batteries included so I can plug and play after a quick installation ? Headless makes me think that I have write my own interfaces which then is not really a shopify alternative. As a developer though, I like it.

It is also not a Shopify alternative in that Shopify is a service and not just software.

Its like comparing "raw organic apples" to "Apple cider made with conventionally farmed apples"

The service part is just how it is distributed. I would say it is ok to claim as Open Source Shopify alternative if you can install and get it running in a few minutes and could be used by a non technical ecommerce business owner.
