hi kristen. I am writing something that just relies upon the database rather than the whole application spree and ruby stack requirement. I anticipate a way to have a the most basic features available for low cost both hosting, setup, and updating / management scenarios. My work has kept me in the anglar4 /ionic3 app development world, I imagine having a free plugin to existing OFN sites, so they can export parts of the data they manage into ‘payloads’ which run quickly and inexpensively within the app.
For a better user experience. I also envision a desktop app (via electron) that talks to remote micro services which act as intermediaries between existing or future OFN (spree commerce) postgres databases people have.
