My goal was to make e-commerce development fun and align it with the modern agentic development era. It’s open source and easy to get started with for new projects.

Payload CMS was one of the main influences at the conceptual level for having the backend and frontend running in the same framework, SvelteKit in this case.

What it has:
- fullstack monolith-first, but API-ready
- good set of defaults
- modern typescript-stack
- easy-to-understand codebase to extend

What it’s not:
- "composable commerce"
- headless-first
- SaaS
- config-heavy legacy
