Ask HN: Storefront software features to make your life easier
1 points by greaterscope 6423 days ago
I run Greaterscope, LLC, a (currently) one-man company that's developing storefront software with developers in mind. In other words, we're focused on several PITA features that are important to growing online stores ... multi-lingual support, handling complex product attributes and pricing, multiple storefronts, customizability.

It's aimed at developers in an attempt to feed the need for rich yet customizable software. I want to give developers a better starting place when they need to create something custom for clients. Hopefully my efforts will be appreciated.

I don't have a demo yet (aiming for end of year) but I'm impatient so I wanted to solicit for feedback early to make sure I have the full range of needs in mind as I continue to build this thing out.

If you have feature ideas or issues with tools you currently use that should be addressed, please let me know via UserVoice:

Technically: it's written in object-oriented PHP5, MVC (database abstraction, a templating system, ORM), and supports databased sessions.

Look for a demo some time in December. I'll definitely announce it here once it's up. The first version should be ready in the first quarter of 2009.
