Investigate moving to different front-end

[Epse]

As it stands, there's quite a bit of JS, and I'm feeling the jQuery spaghetti. Maybe we should use something like Vue

You got my vote. Dispite Im not an expert, Vue is a great choice. Em sáb, 11 de mai de 2019 às 09:01, Stef Pletinck <notifications@github.com> escreveu:

I'm not an expert either, but thanks for weighing in

Have you given Elm a go before? I am no front-end developer but it grabbed my attention unlike javascript.

It is really great for simple, robust front-ends like I think EpPos can be.

On a similar note, I was wondering if you would be interested in checking out https://github.com/mirumee/saleor

It is also a Django backend, with a GraphQL wrapper. Could be interesting to coordinate with it (stock count, etc and other metrics). Imagine a scenario where a small business does both online sales and physical sales. Your POS backend could sync up with it via the graphql layer.

Just some brainstorming.

I plan to look at Elm anyway, so when I make progress I will report here.

Excuse me for the late reply, I replied via email but it got stuck somewhere and returned to me.

I have not, I'm a backend guy who is dazzled with the frontend world. It sounds really nice to me, because it's functional and kinda-sorta compiled.
If you wish to experiment, the 79-better-frontend branch contains some extra api endpoints which might be useful for you.

Cross compatibility with that project sounds interesting, but that would be something for the future, as my first goal is to get this thing as functional as possible for small businesses, cafes and foodtrucks (and get feedback from people who know what they are talking about in that regard).
