This is nice. Curious, have you checked SEO which is crucial for many e-commerce sites given the JavaScript dependency? https://moz.com/blog/javascript-seo

Right now we are working on the SEO support with angular universal more updates soon.

Search floats oddly on page. Would not expect the top nav to be a category picker. Sorting doesn't seem to work. My whole screen flashes when I move from "Save" to price. I don't really care for the spinning triangle on every page view.

Thanks for the feedback, we'll be working on the mobile version soon!

Why would you use both redux and angular ?

Why not? Redux is a very good, framework-agnostic state management solution. There is no reason you can't use it with Angular.

Edit: Contrary to what the readme says, it looks like the project actually uses ngrx, not Redux (unless I'm missing something).

I like also how the README disagrees with itself several times on what tech it's using :D

> Angular(4.2) E-Commerce front-end framework for spreecommerce

> built with ️ using Angular2, Redux

> built with ️ using Angular 5, Redux/ngrx-store 4

> Current version of Angular is latest release 4.0.0.

I don't mean to sandbag the project at all, it looks good (I haven't really dug into it yet)! But would be nice if the README could decide on what it actually is. :)

Yes, I agree over time the README needs some maintenance I'll update it! Thanks for pointing it out.

I think @tomseldon summarised the explanation to your concern.

Redux is a paradigm for handling data flow / application state in an application, whilst Angular is the framework running the application.

They're not mutually exclusive :)

Without using something like Redux, you can get by just fine for small apps (and arguably it could be more of a hindrance and over-complication than a help), but for anything more serious it can help a lot.

Thanks for the explanation!

Mobile support?

Very soon, by mid of December, we should have it ready.
