So, worrying about being able to churn our store fronts seems superfluous to me...

So, I ran across an article this morning that triggered some questions. Someone has come up with a whiz bang way of making great store sights and helping developers churn them out: Mixing It Up: Remix Joins Shopify to Push the Web Forward — Development (2022)[^] My question is sort of surveyish, as I have some history in the area of developing shopping carts (nightmares mostly). Frankly, where I would do store fronts, the entire environment was dominated by Ebay, Amazon, Etsy, etc. We had a number of businesses that wanted their own store front (to avoid the ridiculous fees being charged). It did not matter what incentive you provided customers. No one ever went to the store front. It all came down to saving 0.05 cents on an order off amazon and getting free shipping. Is this just an example of someone trying to solve a problem that has already left the station? 0z10AA hat tip to you :)

This website link was to the biggest pile of buzzwords, catch phrase, acronyms, ads, etc. No constructive information, starting points, etc. No specific examples? HYPE!

I agree. I'm just wondering for "store fronts" what kind of customer they were targeting. The big aggregates have completely dominated the shopping arena. I can see a website for information, etc, but for selling stuff? Anyway, just interested in you web developers out there.
