What did you like about it?

EDIT: If it's on Github doesn't that make it OS?

E-commerce platform suggestions? (beehaw.org)

Can anyone recommend an e-commerce platform that they like, somewhere I can sell both physical and virtual goods, isn't too expensive, allows some degree of design customization, isn't too hard to use, and (gasp) is even open source? The last part is probably asking too much.

I currently sell ebooks on Gumroad, which has actually been pretty good, but they lack customization options and the ability (as far as I can tell) to do something like a blog (although they do have a mailing list which is something I definitely need!).

There is an old Wordpress.ORG site I have that was made by someone else who is no longer able to update it, and is something of a black box to a clueless oldster like myself. I've heard enough negative things about Wordpress that led me first to Ghost.org, which, as far as I can tell, is really just for blogs and nothing else, and then Webflow, which may have too many deisgn option (as well as fuzzy pricing), and finally back to WordPress.COM which was very pushy about me upgrading (and then upgrading again) before I could even try out their Woo Commerce plugin (also their site just plain doesn't work; if I watch their tutorials and then try to follow them, I'll end up on screens that have buttons and drop down menus that appear in the videos but not on the site itself!).

So anyway, I'm in search of recommendations. I need something that can sell physical and virtual items, has a blog, a mailing list, monthly billing, at least some ability to customize, and, if at all possible, is open source. Would be much obliged for any suggestions.

EDIT: Anyone tried Thirty Bees?

For those who don't use Google services, but still need voice navigation, just wanted to mention RH Voice, which is available on F-Droid. Has worked well for me so far when using Organic Maps.

Hi @stewie410@programming.dev & @leetnewb@beehaw.org, thanks for taking the time to write such detailed responses (and stewie410, you did not in any way come across as condescending, so no worries there). As I try to wrap my head around this, could you explain the difference between the "rclone rc" and "rclone rcd" commands? I've read through the documentation, but am still left scratching my head.

EDIT: Good grief, but this is complicated! 😵‍💫 At this point I may just have to wait for the Linux client . . .

All three of those links are very outdated - I do not recommend trying to use any of them.

Yeah, they did look a bit suspect. Bookmarks deleted!

Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do exactly?

Thanks, I was hoping someone would ask, although I have been trying to "RTFM" and figure it out on my own 🙂. I've already installed the lastest .deb—basically I would like to use RClone to continuously sync the home folder on my laptop to Proton Drive (after having RClone autostart) in more or less the same way that I use Syncthing to sync a few important folders from my laptop to my phone. The setup with RClone I envision would be a one-way sync from my laptop to Proton Drive. In the absence of a Proton Drive client for Linux, can RClone be set up to do any of these things? And does RClone/PD support versioning?

Yeah, I know, "RTFM." I did, but am still kind of confused. A "remote" presumably means a remote folder/share/whatever in the cloud, in this case on Proton Drive, yes? If I want to set Rclone to automaticlly sync, say, my home folder to Proton Drive, Rclone has to run as a service on startup for this to work. They say

Start as a service: To always run rclone in background, relevant for mount commands etc, you can use systemd to set up rclone as a system or user service. Running as a system service ensures that it is run at startup even if the user it is running as has no active session. Running rclone as a user service ensures that it only starts after the configured user has logged into the system.

But I don't know how to do that . . . I've found a few, I guess, "scripts" for this online but each one is a bit different. Unfortunately, just because I'm a Linux person doesn't mean that I know what I'm doing . . .

EDIT: After some further research, I found a couple scripts, but since each one is a bit different, I'm not sure which one to choose or how to write one that best suits my needs . . . would be kind of nice if Rclone would include this somewhere in their documentation; so far I haven't found anything.

EDIT EDIT: I would say that this is fairly complicated for the average user, but my research continues . . .

EDIT EDIT EDIT: Can anyone attest to this, this, or this?

Rclone seems like a good bet; however I'm a bit confused as to how to get started. Would one of you kind souls be good enough to guide me through some of the process? I've installed the latest .deb, and if I want to (eventually) sync my home folder to Proton Drive, then rclone needs to run at startup in the background, yes? What is the command for this? It's not just rclone, it has to be rclone rc or rcd . . . ? Or pehaps I need to set up Proton Drive to receive my files first?
