Customers are building their local stores. πŸš€ It’s so great to watch, listen and learn from them. πŸ‘‚πŸ‘€

We’re moving into a nice flow of daily meet, tweak, fix etc.

Penny seems to be dropping too that this is to RUN a local biz not just sell stuff. #buildinpublic #nearcommerce
We want it to be incredibly easy and intuitive to find and buy/book from any local business. Whether they are coffee shop, plumber, experience or hair stylist.

Both in-store and online.

πŸ”₯ Radial search for @OrdalocaHQ was pretty quick to build. In fact this whole discovery page I think has taken less than 2 days in total, including filtering (scoring via functions).

πŸ”Final step is search box for stores / products...

Just been rapidly building a POS interface based on our store APIs. This is running as a web app but feels pretty responsive.

So local businesses can have a simple POS alongside everything else in ⁦@OrdalocaHQ⁩

😴3 days clearing down 50+ bugs on Ordaloca after just 2 user testing sessions.

It's really pulling together and making it faster and easier each time to get a local business up and running. πŸ”₯

Next user test incoming... 🧨

πŸ”” Today's #shipping update

We are finalising the steps for customers to create "coming soon" pages, whilst they build a store. This tells local customers they are launching, who can then follow for updates + rewards.
