Our current front-end experience is a server-side rendered Next.js React site built with Typescript, GraphQL, Styled Components, and React 16. We use Shopify to manage our shopping cart and checkout process and have the mandate to grow on top of and beyond it as we need to. Our backend services are a mix of Typescript on Node and Ruby on Rails. You can of course help contribute to some of them as you need to. While our base stack is evolving there is still plenty of room for it to grow. Want to introduce react-spring for better animations? Let’s debate. Want to implement a PWA architecture to help us cache data client-side? Let’s explore. Want to re-write our site’s build process in Haskell? No, we have limits.
