I made a cross platform desktop app for people who upload their photos and videos to microstock agencies called Xpiks (https://xpiksapp.com). Initially I was selling one-off forever licenses but last year started moving them to subscription. So far progress is steady and I keep working on it. The app is made in C++/Qt and I’m looking for people who might be interested to join. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

You can use Xpiks to do that, both uploading from your own computer or from "Xpiks Cloud" (you upload once and we upload to many). I'm a microstock contributor myself and Xpiks was created specifically for other microstock contributors (it's not just an FTP uploader). Source: over 1 year ago

I'm sorry you read that. Xpiks is a microstock contributor's workhorse: both metadata and upload. Check out yourself: https://xpiksapp.com/ (you can see tutorials section to get a grasp of the features). Source: about 2 years ago

Honestly if you just wanna get up and running quickly with the least hassle, go for Shopify. But if you actually want to build something, run it yourself and have no fees, you should check out my project vendure. It is built on Node with TypeScript and handles all the hard stuff for you. Combine it with our Remix storefront starter and you're most of the way there. Source: over 1 year ago

If OTS does not fit the bill, try one of the many open-source e-commerce frameworks that already solved all the hard parts for you, and allow you to just build out the custom parts specific to your requirements. Some suggestions: Vendure (my project), Saleor, Medusa, Sylius. Source: almost 2 years ago

Another option is to take a framework that handles 80% of the stuff you need (customer/order/inventory managament, payments, shipping etc) but that gives you the flexibility to create whatever custom flows you need. Shameless plug: I work on just such a framework (vendure.io) and it might be worth checking out. Source: about 2 years ago

I'm happy to arrange a chat. Email me at [contact at vendure.io] and let's set something up. Source: over 2 years ago

I learned a lot from contributing to the https://vendure.io/ project and use the patterns in my everyday programming. It's NodeJS based, so it shouldn't be too complicated if you're using React! Source: over 2 years ago
