Looks sweet! Is there a plan to start an instance with a "single button click"? Let's say I'm selling flowers and want to have online shop - where do I go as a first step?
Couple UX feedbacks for Shop:
  • After clicking "Add to Cart" there should be some visual confirmation (e.g. "Toast" on the bottom right that says "XYZ added to Cart")
  • In the cart, the fonts and spacing are too big - When I'm on 13" Macbook Pro I have to scroll a lot, ideally you would fit everything into a single page without need to scroll (try optimizing for 1440px x 800px (the height is reduced because of Chrome tabs, and MacOS menus...))
  • In Order Review: Pretty good, a bit too much padding in the box. What about changing this to two-column view with having the cart on the right? (shops sometimes do that and it has the benefit that you can see both the items and then all order details without scrolling too much)
  • When I confirm Order Review, then it goes to "Thank you for ordering stuff 🎉!" ... but I haven't paid yet. This is falsely making me feel like I'm done and can close the tab.
  • When clicking on "Lightning Invoice" button it takes a while for it to load. Also why do I even need to click on the button, just show me the invoice QR (and COPY button) and option to switch to onchain instead. That would save me 1-2 steps. (Essentially the goal is to make the flow the least user actions/steps while not being too confusing)
  • change "provided by YieldMonitor.io" to "price provided by YieldMonitor.io" (otherwise it sounds like the LN invoices are from that service)
Feedback on Blog
  • I tried unlocking the article, but it only shows "Start over" and it doesn't show me the full article?
Are you planning to start a company around this?

No immediate plans for a direct single button click deployment, it’s mostly focus on a distributed way to encourage self hosting and to not become a vendor lock-in. But at most it’s a 5 step process to have a continuous publishing setup and move between hosting.
The closest you can get in the process to a single click is to use a GitHub account and click the template button, an alternative is to use the template with Nuxt studio . https://github.com/cypher-space/Template
Regarding the feedback ( much thanks )
  • User feed with notifications bubbles is on the feature list
  • Cart flow most definitely needs UX update and flow restructure We currently use a older modified payment widget, next integration would be to try and setup the flow with bitcoin connect This should make the checkout process smoother and more 21st century vibes.
  • you are right some parts of the current order process need to be updated and the thank you for ordering needs to have a non clickable validation. Orders are a client side flow currently and this might feel a little counter intuitive at first but a person can send unlimited orders. It’s up to the vender to only send the ones that have a verified received payment with the same order ID. Integrations for payment validation are also still in the works and would remedy some of that flow and are now definitely priority 🙏
  • The yield monitor api will soon stop working but we have a solution in the works to swap it with something more decentralised fit
  • The paywall unlock currently has a bug and loose ends ( bug is reported 🫶)
No real plans to start a company around cypher would love to keep it in the open source and free space, founding & funding is to much time away from building 🚀
Much ❤️ for the detailed feedback
