Floyd's E-Commerce: from Squarespace to Solidus
In 2014, Floyd was lesser known as The Floyd Leg. Our website was on Squarespace for both its e-commerce solution and web hosting. A large part of our current success was realized by choosing to invest in a custom web application that’s built with Solidus. With our website no longer abstracted by a WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get") editor, we partnered with Nebulab to handle full-stack web development. Solidus (Spree, at the time, before it was acquired, forked, and renamed) was recommended to power the e-commerce part of our application. The decision to go custom came after a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2015 for the Floyd Legs—a set of four steel table legs that fastened onto any flat surface to quickly put a table together. We proved a market need for adaptable and sustainable furniture design. The co-founders, Kyle Hoff and Alex O’Dell, knew there were more product offerings on the roadmap as they championed Floyd to be the furniture solution for all apartment essentials. Fast forward to 2019, Floyd is seeking to be the furniture solution for the entire home worldwide.

ROR ecommerce tutorial?
I'd say Solidus and Spree are you best options rather than trying to roll out you own ecommerce solution.

Completely agree. Alternatively, I would look for an open source project like solidus https://github.com/solidusio/solidus

Ask HN: Options to build a little online store
Hey there! I'm about to set up a small eshop (expected around 50 orders/month) for a relative (an artist). I've contemplated what's available, and I'm not very happy with what I found.
- There's Woocommerce, which I've installed and tried doing basic setup, and it's too deeply bloated in the Wordpress ecosystem. My first impression from Prestashop was that it's going to be quite a similar PHP mess
- I don't want to get vendor locked-in with things like Shopify. They also don't seem to offer much design customizability (I'm a web dev and there's quite a unique design concept for the site from the artist)
- Searching GitHub for ecommerce, Solidus[1] looked quite promising, however, it also slightly overshoots the border of 'too complex' for me, and their docs on integrating a custom payments provider (a strict requirement - not US based) aren't really great
[1]: https://github.com/solidusio/solidus
So my question is: are there any borderline-pet projects I've missed?
I've been doing web dev for over 2 years now, so I'm also thinking about building my own almost-serverless solution. Is that plausible in reasonable time (wouldn't want to give this more than 2 weeks), or are there too many holes to fall into even though the sensitive part of payments is handled by a simple integration?
One more bit of info, together with building this, their whole web is going to be transferred to a new CMS, likely the Netlify headless CMS (IMO a very cool concept - no backend, frontend uses GitHub http API to directly commit any saved changes). Therefore ideally I'd love to integrate the products inventory into this CMS, which saves data into markdown + front matter, and then can be built into HTML or any JSON to be fetched by frontend - that's why I said almost-serverless.

Discord to Start Showing Ads for Gamers to Boost Revenue
> Tell me another platform that is free, has realtime chat, voice and video, has stable service, allows sharing images and other media, with good ownership management... and is open source.
Mattermost: https://mattermost.com/
Rocket.Chat: https://www.rocket.chat/
Nextcloud Talk: https://nextcloud.com/talk/
Self hosting and some assembly required. I've run all of them on cheap VPSes to explore a Slack/Discord replacement, neither was mindblowing but all of them seemed okay (Nextcloud's offering was rather barebones, though).
Audio and video support varies because getting those right is challenging, at best you'd just integrate with something like Jitsi, that one's actually pretty good for meetings and such: https://jitsi.org/ and has a cloud version too: https://meet.jit.si/ (yet people still go for Zoom and it's odd UI/UX choices)
I actually rather liked forums back in the day, but I guess nobody will be setting up that many phpBB instances in the current year, though projects like Discourse also seem promising: https://www.discourse.org/
I don't think many people at all will be leaving Discord, due to how entrenched the platform is (network effect): if you want people to help you with what you're working on, you go where they are, not vice versa.

My views on NeoHaskell
I disagree. Lots of communities, e.g. Julia or Stan, use https://www.discourse.org. Discourse is GPL2 and emulates old Internet forums.

Is BuddyPress still a viable option to create a community-based website? Or should I be looking at other options?
Why isn't Discourse being listed here for forum software? It's open source and designed for modern communities. https://www.discourse.org/

Don't Use Discord as a Forum
Discourse is open source: https://github.com/discourse/discourse
You could hook it up to a mail provider and can host it yourself for less if you wanted.

Why does the mastodon.social's privacy policy template link to Discourse's GitHub?
I was reading mastodon.social's privacy policy, and noticed that the link at the bottom to Discourse's privacy policy links to Discourse's Github. I'm surprised because I thought it would be the privacy policy on discourse.org.

Think Twice Before You Use Discord for Your Community
Yep. Any platform run by someone else can kick you off for any reason, and time.
You should consider looking into running discourse, which is a modernized forum software: https://github.com/discourse/discourse
Nice examples of what it looks like:
https://discourse.nixos.org/
https://forum.level1techs.com/
As a bonus, the content and community will be accessible to search engines, so it’s easy to find answers to problems that gave been already been addressed.
In general, consider combining the two, where discourse is the anchor of the community that can’t be yanked out from under you, while discord is the one that sells the data from your players in exchange for free voice and text chat.
It’s also possible to enable logging in with discord credentials https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-discord-login-for-dis...
As well as pushing content from discord to discourse so it’s not hidden and losable: https://blog.discourse.org/2021/05/discord-and-discourse-bet...
