Ask HN: Why there is no open source Shopify alternative?

1 pointeconcon2 comments

There are few solutions but nothing like Shopify exists.

While we've wordpress which is very flexible and superior to most commercial blogging solutions

So on wordpress install woocommerce. Or if not wp then drupal commerce. Or Magento. Oscommerce. Etc. Etc.

Are any of these following the modern standards of web development (like what you would get with a framework like Laravel), or are they still just a pile of random PHP files?
