| 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. I'm hoping to give developers a better starting place when they need to create something custom for clients. It won't be free, but will be open source. Hopefully my efforts will be appreciated. I don't have a demo yet (hopefully by January) 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: http://greaterscope.uservoice.com Technology-wise it's written in object-oriented PHP5, MVC (database abstraction, templating system, ORM), supports databased sessions, and is not limited to MySQL. I have also considered creating ports to other languages (Python, Ruby). 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. My company website is http://greaterscope.com Update: We're also looking for beta testers. I think I failed to mention that. |
