YourNextStore – an open-source Shopify with Stripe as the back end

We’re building Your Next Store, a modern, ultra-fast, open-source commerce in Next.js with Stripe as the backend - no DB required. Selling online is often more complex than it needs to be. Setting up a storefront with great performance can feel daunting and time-consuming. There are many plugins, libraries, etc - the choice can be overwhelming. Plus, in e-commerce, the backend and frontend are often written in different languages (e.g., PHP, Python, or Ruby for the backend). This increases the complexity and makes code management more challenging, especially for teams. After working in…

In plain words

YourNextStore is an open-source e-commerce platform built with Next.js that uses Stripe as its backend, requiring no separate database. Designed for small to medium-sized merchants, it simplifies online store setup by eliminating the complexity of managing separate frontend and backend languages. The platform prioritizes performance and speed, addressing common issues that slow e-commerce sites face, while providing a streamlined alternative to traditional, plugin-heavy commerce solutions.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.

That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
