Show HN: YourNextStore – an open-source Shopify with Stripe as the back end (Score: 153+ in 8 hours)

Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6ejJc
We’re building Your Next Store, a modern, ultra-fast, open-source commerce in Next.js with Stripe as the backend - no DB required.
Selling online is often more complex than it needs to be. Setting up a storefront with great performance can feel daunting and time-consuming. There are many plugins, libraries, etc - the choice can be overwhelming.
Plus, in e-commerce, the backend and frontend are often written in different languages (e.g., PHP, Python, or Ruby for the backend). This increases the complexity and makes code management more challenging, especially for teams.
After working in e-commerce for several years, Michał and I set out to build the fastest and most compelling storefront for small to medium-sized merchants. Fast e-commerce sites are crucial because slow pages hurt sales [1]. Unfortunately, performance issues are still very common. The beauty of Your Next Store is its simplicity. No additional tools and no databases - just Next.js and Stripe.
On the technical side, we use App Router, React Server Component, Partial Pre-Rendering, Optimistic Updates, and Streaming with Suspense to make the store faster and leaner so it feels almost like a static website.
In summary:
Modern & Popular Stack: Built with Next.js, React.js, and TypeScript, making development faster and hiring easier compared to platforms that use less common frameworks like Shopify’s Liquid.
No Database Needed: Stripe handles the backend, reducing the need for complex infrastructure and simplifying the setup process.
Open Source: Free and open (AGPL), with the option for a commercial license if needed.
This is just the beginning. We want to make YNS even better and easier to use and eventually provide a good, open-source alternative to Shopify.

Show HN: I mapped HN's favorite books with GPT-4o (❄️ Score: 153+ in 2 days)
Link: https://readhacker.news/s/6eaYy
Comments: https://readhacker.news/c/6eaYy
Hey HN! I love finding new books to read on here. I wanted to gather the most mentioned books and recreate the serendipity of physical browsing. I scraped 20k comments from HN threads related to reading, extracted the references and opinions using GPT-4o mini, and visualised their embeddings as a map.
- OpenAI's embeddings were processed using UMAP and HDBSCAN. A direct 2D projection from the text embeddings didn't yield visually interesting results. Instead, HDBSCAN is first applied on a high-dimensional projection. Those clusters tend to correspond to different genres. The genre memberships are then embedded using a second round of UMAP (using Hellinger distance) which results in pleasingly dense structures.
- The books' descriptions are based on extractions from the comments and GPT's general knowledge. Quality levels vary, and it leads to some oddly specific points, but I haven't found any yet that are straight up wrong.
- There are multiple books with the same title. Currently, only the most popular one of those makes it onto the map.
- It's surprisingly hard to get high quality book cover images. I tried Google Books and a bunch of open APIs, but they all had their issues. In the end, I got the covers from GoodReads through a hacked together process that combines their autocomplete search with GPT for data linkage. Does anyone know of a reliable source?
