We have an announcement to make...

After 7 years, we're closing @elevantiq — the agency that funded Vendure's development.

Not because we failed. Because Vendure deserves our complete focus. 🧵

@nextjs is good, but the learning curve is steep, and the DX, unless you memorise the docs, can be rough.

I made an extension in hopes of making it easier by providing you with Intellisense in your NextJS files.

Neat little feature...

Just added a Copy as MD button to the Vendure docs.

[Housein Abo Shaar @sudo_Housein]

A new article explores this idea, offering a practical look at how certain foundational choices make a system truly flexible.

The blog article dives into exactly how Vendure's architecture delivers on this promise of ideal developer experience.

[Housein Abo Shaar @sudo_Housein]

How do good design principles look in practice?

We all have heard about them, but they're often too abstract to actually grasp.

[Housein Abo Shaar @sudo_Housein]

A well-designed platform anticipates this.
Its architecture is built to adapt to evolving needs without requiring a complete overhaul of core functionality.

Which is a fundamental idea in Vendure's design.

[Housein Abo Shaar @sudo_Housein]

This is to give you a roadmap. It helps you learn how to work effectively with Vendure, all the way from "Hello World."

Want to see where all this is happening? You can check out how good the new website looks:

New docs, new dashboard, and a brand new website

We at @vendure_io have been shipping a lot recently, and we have a lot more planned - much more that we are excited to create and share with you.

[Housein Abo Shaar @sudo_Housein]

To ensure Vendure is approachable for everyone, we are focusing on guides. We are producing new how-to content, structuring it into clear series.

[Michael Bromley @michlbrmly]

Last night at @viennajs: give a talk about dotfiles and key bindings and you are guaranteed to get swarmed by devs for the rest of the evening 😂

Great talk by @sudo_Housein

[Housein Abo Shaar @sudo_Housein]

@meeroslav @viennajs Thank you for organizing such a great event and providing us with a platform where everyone can share their ideas!

Looking forward to all your upcoming events :D

[Miroslav Jonas 🦋 @meeroslav]

Our local hero @sudo_Housein will tell us more about improving the development environment at @viennajs

[Housein Abo Shaar @sudo_Housein]

Having wrestled with the fundamentals and the low-level workings of whatever stack I am using, tutorials now give me the architectural - a "cheat-sheet" in a sense.

[Housein Abo Shaar @sudo_Housein]

Tutorials and documentation hit different when you're experienced.

While planning the upcoming React storefronts for @vendure_io , one of the most important question that I have to get right is: "What makes this a foundation that others can or would want to actually build on?"

[Housein Abo Shaar @sudo_Housein]

But here's the thing: I'm not consuming it for the syntax anymore, I know that already, I'm looking at the patterns and at the why behind the decisions. Already understanding the low-level helps me understand the bigger picture.
