We've got an online shop with 5M daily requests. We figured out it was better to build the tech in-house to control the entire UX– custom shop, checkout flow, exchanges, labels, inventory speed and rotation.
Next step was moving all the fulfillment, purchasing and BOM parts over to a proper ERP system, like Odoo. Apart from one developer time, it costs us under $100 to run (the CDN costs the most).
Now we're pulling everything together under one UX. Sure, it's not for everyone, but it was fun to build and it's been a game-changer for us.
This is quite interesting. We are following a similar path in my company.
Moved from a proprietary CMS to a headless one (strapi) to extend it as desires and control the UI/UX completely and also moving to Odoo as an ERP. Any advices on this?
What do you mean by pulling everything together under one UX?
Thanks in advance!
Looks great! Working on something similar, but couldn't go through the nuances of managing every gnarly inputs. What do you think of a PR for <section> stacking any children as equal width columns.
Not long ago, Microsoft acquired Lobe.ai by Apple designer Mike Matas and others. Really well thought out app. Effectively dead now.
Is anyone building a GUI based service for training domain specific models? Such as image creation (or correction) based on a trained style, image recognition for security, sales data classification and forecasting.
I've come across a few, but they are so neutered that they are effectively worthless. The latest round of commercial AI offerings are hobbled to an extreme extent.
The language on the website seems to be targeted to an audience with knowledge of a subset of languages. Instead it would help if it talked about the problem it seems to solve for a regular "general purpose" programmer.
Doesn't help that the author comes off as super defensive.
I've been building prototypes with this. It is everything good web design should be– UI with good contrast, legible type and accessibility patterns.
My only gripe is perhaps if their teams made example pages from their own use cases– sub-nav from the components page, charts/references from their Covid dashboards.
Some departments open source all their work, if you're interested in browsing real apps built to GDS standards. I previously contracted at the Office of National Statistics, and it was the case there that everything was built in the open on github. For instance this django app runs all online surveys for the ONS, including the national census! https://github.com/ONSdigital/eq-survey-runner
