e-commerce on Cloudron

@LoudLemur I would say Wordpress has come a long way in the last 2 years and you can likely do more with Woocommerce than any other FOSS platform.

Try the kadencewp.com theme and Woocommerce, and stick to well reviewed Gutenburg block add-ons, that are much lighter and more standardised than the old classic free-for-all ways of making frontend add-ons.

Use the Asset Cleanup plugin for overall speed efficiency.

DM me for Qs on other useful add-ons for your use-case, and happy to share my experience.

Odoo is a very capable platform, and nice in many ways, but if you were building a business that many livelihoods depended on, with Odoo, I think you'd want their SaaS version for support and independence of needing developer maintenance, to focus on the business sales, marketing and operations needs.

If you want the freedoms of FOSS, I don't think Wordpress & Woocommerce can be beaten for accessibility to customise and develop.

@girish Have we lost the DM chat feature on the forum? Or am I being blind?

[humptydumpty]

@marcusquinn it went away a month or so ago.

@marcusquinn we have disabled it, as we got too many direct messages for support and it's the wrong tool as a support channel. So better to have it disabled than giving the wrong impression that we are reachable there. Sadly we can't disable it for our staff accounts only.

@nebulon Shame, was kinda useful. Understandable, though, you can't be everywhere at all times.

@nebulon would be useful to make an announcement where the preferred place for community DMs are, even if not for staff/support.

@robi Only way I can think right now would be to swap follows on Social Media and DM there.

Maybe there should be an "official" cloudron humhub ?

Fill your profile with a list or a LinkTr.ee that has them all.

[marcusquinn]

@timconsidine Dunno about that - too many platforms with overlap could dilute the value of content here.
