Donations are not the main CTA. If you want to support the initiative you can donate. We don't need money to build the MVPs for people but if we get donations we might convince other devs to join (they would get paid).

If you don't want competition then you have to pay for the execution

I didn't do a benchmark. Phalcon is probably faster than Django (by a few miliseconds) but it is a compiled extension and also doesn't have all the functionality that Django has.

Django compared to Laravel (which is now probably the most popular PHP framework) is orders of magnitude faster. This is what I meant with Django being faster that PHP (this statement compares a framework with a programming language - not fair)

I bookmarked it. Are you using bootstrap / foundation?

Same thing happened to us. We moved a lot of cron logic to nodejs and we were able to increase speed and reduce hardware costs.

I've started an online store (https://adorely.ro) with a friend of mine using dropshippers (so we don't buy stock and manage the delivery) and we're getting our most valuable traffic from price comparison sites. While there is a limit of how many visitors you can get, the conversion rate is amazing (in some cases is more than 10%) and the cost is extremely low. Adwords is not a good idea if you don't have a good lifetime value. Also we tried to increase our Facebook fanbase but the conversion rate is pretty low (still bigger than adwords).

To be honest I don't really trust Oracle software. They are usually very expensive and they kinda lock you in their products.

In the case of Commerce Cloud I don't see any pricing information, so I can only presume it's going to cost a lot.

Also a few days ago Oracle bought NetSuite for $9.3 billion. One of their product is SuiteCommerce (http://www.netsuite.com/portal/products/netsuite/suitecommer...)

I was thinking about bootstrapping business and target the small - medium businesses. If I want to tackle the enterprise business it might take 2 years for an MVP, but an alternative for a WooCommerce store shouldn't take that long.

I know about moltin.com.

They basically offer you a backend and a set of APIs to create your store. It's a great tool to use if you want to be in control of your store behaviour. On the other hand it requires you to have some technical knowledge.

I like the idea of seeing the latest news on my lockscreen. I hope you won't start inserting ads! :)

I'm used to unlock my phone with pin code. I see it only supports patterns.

Also custom feeds would be a great addition.

Good luck!
