Exciting Progress: Developing an Open Source Marketplace with Essential Dashboard Features

I am thrilled to share the latest developments on my journey to create a versatile online platform. Initially envisioned as a simple blog-based store for selling artwork, my project has evolved into a full-fledged marketplace.

Leveraging my preferred tools—Astro as the foundation—I began constructing a headless CMS to manage content efficiently. Over the past week, I dedicated time to refining the platform’s core functionalities. The dashboard now supports user authentication, allowing users to log in securely. Additionally, creating and editing sites and content has become seamless, paving the way for easier management and customization.

This project is built using a robust combination of modern technologies, including Strapi for content management, Mantine for UI components, and Tailwind CSS for styling. These tools work together to deliver a flexible, scalable, and user-friendly marketplace solution.

Stay tuned for further updates as I continue to develop and enhance this open source platform. My goal is to provide a powerful, customizable marketplace that can be adapted for various creative ventures.
