This is a full-stack e-commerce app for a client of mine powered by @nextjs and @shadcn . I don't think I've ever built something of this size so quickly. 📸 Screenshots & explanation below

@pranjalsoni_ @vercel Vercel is super generous with how they handled billing, at least for me. There's times where my $20 plan is overdue and I get an email every time they try to bill my card and it fails. My websites have never went down and I've had it since Jan 2021

@TheAnkurTyagi @Rishav93010 I think their point is that India is still far less developed than China yet India has overtaken them in the population race. That’s not me saying India will always be like that. I think India’s growth will continue to accelerate and eventually surpass China’s.

@sshmaxime @nextjs @shadcn The short answer is I haven't. Some people just let the table be horizontally scrollable. Tbh I haven't made any of the admin dashboard mobile responsive because it will only be used by people sitting at desks on PCs. Obviously different story for the consumer-facing site

Our first phase of discounts is going to be category-based. We have way too many products to add discounts to each one and so it makes sense to do it by category. Especially when we want to have the flexibility to make discounts unique to different customers I'm only working on
