Building an E-commerce App on a Private VPS Server

At a glance

The community members discuss the possibility of creating an e-commerce app and deploying it on a private VPS server, using a builder for the front-end and WooCommerce or Saleor for the backend. One community member suggests that while it's possible to get close, there are essential features missing to make it fully integrated, and provides a link to a related discussion. Another community member asks about editing the project in VS Code, and a third shares a GitHub repository for the "webstudio" project. The discussion then focuses on the readability of the code generated by the builder, with community members noting that disabling "atomic CSS" can make the class names more human-readable.

You could probably get close but there are essential features missing right now to make it fully integrated. Here's a convo about ecommerce (shopify, but the same solution should apply to other platforms) https://discord.com/channels/955905230107738152/1257790225875210324
can edit the project in vs code?
you can, but the code only partially human-readable, and if you decide to export to vanilla, you lose out on functionality.
basically if you override or set up a property, it creates a automatically-generated class that is attached to a html element. That automatically-generated class is what I mean is not humanly readable.

I haven't tried out to see what happens if you tokenize absolutely everything inside a project, but I'd assume that would get rid of the auto-generated classes. Still, it's quite a lot of work, that I feel doesn't add that much value
Oh you're talking about your individual project not webstudio as a whole.

@Sorin If you disable atomic css, you get human readable class names
holy crap. ok. now that's new.
thanks a lot for the tip !
