Lenerva.com - Ecommerce with Monero Support

Elijah Lopez — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 05:26:53 +0000

Overview of My Submission

I made the first every Javascript-free ecommerce store, with a dark theme by default, credit card processing via Stripe checkouts, and can process Monero (a crypto).
I've also integrated it with Printify AND custom items. This means that I can sell my own software as well as sell shirt designs mad e in printify.

Furthermore, I have made use of multiprocessing and IPC to avoid needing an MQ or a broker. The pros of this are that I need less dependencies, a shorter workflow and I could develop the code on Windows without requiring to use WSL.

The backend is Flask and I extensively used jinja2, html, and CSS to provide a wicked dynamic UX (checkout, snackbar notification, multi-currency prices).

It uses mongoDB clusters to host user data (site admin verification for now), custom products, and order data.

Additional Resources / Info

The background is a gif. I made it in After Effects. It was inspired by the divergence circle from WestWorld, but since I'm not a professional VFX editor, I put my own spin on it.

This is v1 of the site as it meets my base specifications. My next goal is to setup a DigitalOcean droplet and run this code in production to serve https://lenerva.com. I want to create more software in the near-term, and this website marks the first milestone in my next ventures.

I'm un-commentating this part since I was under the impression that the deadline was 2 AM EST.

Submissions are due on January 13th, 2022 @ 11:59 PM PT/2 AM ET on January 14th, 2022/6 AM UTC on January 14th, 2022).
