Hey team! Playing with Solidus to migrate my father’s site away from Magento, since it’s too overkill for his needs (and my familiarity with RoR > PHP). I tried this about 2 years ago at Rails 5.2.3 & Solidus 2.8.3 and got pretty far, but then got busy and put it aside. A few high-level questions here: 1. I managed to upgrade this to Rails 6 & Solidus 3.1, and it appears to work fine but I’m wondering: since I used a custom frontend with BS4, is there anything I should be seriously concerned about in terms of breaking changes that make frontends incompatible? 2. I was also trying to see what the new starter frontend looks like. Is it meant to be the same as what’s on demo.solidus.io? It looks similar but slightly worse when deployed locally. It doesn’t look like rails is injecting default assets that are interfering afaik, so what’s to blame for the different? I attached a picture below

I might be wrong but the demo.solidus.io one could be run with https://github.com/nebulab/solidus_starter_frontend

@Daniel Yep, that’s what I tried deploying locally but get the result on the left in my image. It’s close but definitely is missing some stuff that makes it look overall worse 😞

Ah I see. On a second glance, it looks like the markup is the same and there are just a few CSS customizations.
I guess they just slightly modified the appearance for demo purposes. I wouldn't sweat it 👍

Daniel is right. The demo has some different css and markup for demo purposes
if you want to take a look the demo repository is public here: https://github.com/solidusio/solidus-demo/
actually, we have another PR ready for extra adjustments
