Hello, it seems the community guidelines link for the contributing.md file is broken. Also is solidus good for a solo developer who wants to build e-commerce stores for small bussiness?

Where did you find the broken link? https://github.com/solidusio/.github/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md Solidus can make sense depending on what your needs and abilities are. Many of the businesses we work with are small to medium sized companies with specialized needs that aren't filled by the bigger, more ready-made e-commerce options like Shopify. There is more maintenance overhead with a self-maintained option like Solidus so it's important to weigh the customizability against that. That being said, in addition to working at a software consultancy, I run a very very tiny business on Solidus and I've been pretty happy doing so.

@Manuel Gonçalves We have been doing a lot of work on the

solidus_starter_frontend

which makes it easier for folks to get up and running fast with a fully functional Solidus store! With some help, I am also in the process of writing an up-to-date blog post to outline how to get from

rails new

to a fully functional production deploy on Heroku with the

solidus_starter_frontend

. This should be a good resource for newer devs to the project. I can keep you posted if you are interested in that! 🙂
