Your “factory” seems to have not gotten the memo that you are openship and not openfront?

Also I have zero clue what I’m looking at here? What is this?

Openship is an order management system. I built that first when I used Shopify. Then it was easy to build my own which became Openfront. Think of Openship as a the glue between Openfronts so businesses can buy from other businesses.

Happy to answer more questions. We’re making open source alternatives to Shopify, Toast, GlossGenius, MindBody, Booksy, Cloudbeds, Dutchie, etc.

Another AI fever dream.

Eh ok, already have people using these in production. I’m having an AI agent run a full e-commerce business using Openfront and Openship.

Fever dreams can feel very real

What are you even implying here? I use it in production for my e-commerce businesses and it was easy to move off Shopify once you have an OMS.

LLMs are solving millennium problems, but can’t make CRUD SaaS alternatives? Listen to yourself man. Claude and ChatGPT used their own AI to build trillion dollar companies. But it making a e-commerce SaaS is a bridge too far huh?

Not implying anything else than what I've said. Good if it works for you, nothing against using AI
