First rough prerelease of @conjured_ink 's eshop software is up on codeberg: https://codeberg.org/conjured/silverfish/releases/tag/v0.0.1

It's so tiny. That's the whole binary. There's no external dependencies. There's only a single binary in it, and it has both the database and the job queue software embedded right in it.

For folks familiar with hosting mastodon: Imagine if that was literally your hosting experience, and the entire thing barely used 80mb to serve thousands of requests per second on a single-core vm. No need to set up and manage mysql, or sidekiq. You just run the executable.

Silverfish (what we're calling this tiny thing) is still in very early stages and only really has a CMS with custom theming support so far, but new features are rapidly being added, and the guts of the thing are really featureful, with light/dark theme support, i18n, and a literal 1kb JS bundle where the entire admin interface works with JS completely disabled and is still super snappy.

I'm very excited
