# SimpleShop Roadmap
|
|
|
|
This document tracks future improvements, features, and known gaps.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Wins (Low Effort)
|
|
|
|
### CSS Cache Warming on Startup
|
|
**Status:** Not implemented
|
|
**Effort:** Small
|
|
|
|
Currently the CSS cache (ETS) is created on startup but not pre-warmed. The first request after server restart generates CSS on-demand.
|
|
|
|
**Implementation:**
|
|
Add cache warming to `lib/simpleshop_theme/application.ex`:
|
|
```elixir
|
|
# After supervisor starts
|
|
Task.start(fn ->
|
|
settings = SimpleshopTheme.Settings.get_theme_settings()
|
|
css = SimpleshopTheme.Theme.CSSGenerator.generate(settings)
|
|
SimpleshopTheme.Theme.CSSCache.put(css)
|
|
end)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Navigation Links Between Admin and Shop
|
|
**Status:** Not implemented
|
|
**Effort:** Small
|
|
|
|
No links exist to navigate between the theme editor (`/admin/theme`) and the public shop (`/`).
|
|
|
|
**Implementation:**
|
|
- Add "View Shop" button in theme editor header
|
|
- Add "Edit Theme" link in shop header (when authenticated)
|
|
|
|
### Collection Slug Routes
|
|
**Status:** Partial
|
|
**Effort:** Small
|
|
|
|
Currently we have `/products` but the original plan included `/collections/:slug` for filtered views by category.
|
|
|
|
### Enhanced Contact Page
|
|
**Status:** Not implemented
|
|
**Effort:** Small
|
|
|
|
The current contact page has subtle footer social icons that are easy to miss. Improvements:
|
|
|
|
1. **Newsletter signup card** - Prominent card encouraging newsletter subscription as the best way to stay updated (already in footer, but deserves dedicated placement)
|
|
|
|
2. **Social media links card** - Full-width card listing social platforms with icons and text labels:
|
|
```
|
|
[Instagram icon] Instagram
|
|
[Patreon icon] Patreon
|
|
[TikTok icon] TikTok
|
|
[Facebook icon] Facebook
|
|
[Pinterest icon] Pinterest
|
|
```
|
|
This makes social links more discoverable than the current small footer icons.
|
|
|
|
**Implementation:**
|
|
- Add `newsletter_card/1` component to ShopComponents
|
|
- Add `social_links_card/1` component with configurable platforms
|
|
- Update contact page template to include both cards
|
|
- Consider making platforms configurable via theme settings
|
|

|
## Medium Features
|
|
|
|
### Page Builder (Database-Driven Pages)
|
|
**Status:** Planned (see `docs/plans/page-builder.md`)
|
|
**Effort:** Large
|
|
|
|
Allow shop owners to build custom pages by combining pre-built sections:
|
|
- Hero, Featured Products, Testimonials, Newsletter, etc.
|
|
- Drag-and-drop section ordering
|
|
- Per-section configuration
|
|
- Database-backed page storage
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Future Features (Large Scope)
|
|
|
|
### Products Context
|
|
Real product management instead of preview data:
|
|
- Product CRUD
|
|
- Variant support (size, colour)
|
|
- Inventory tracking
|
|
- Image galleries
|
|
|
|
### Orders & Cart Functionality
|
|
Currently cart is display-only with mock data:
|
|
- Session-based cart persistence
|
|
- Add to cart functionality
|
|
- Checkout flow
|
|
- Order creation and history
|
|
|
|
### Multi-Admin Support
|
|
Currently single-user authentication:
|
|
- Multiple admin users
|
|
- Role-based permissions
|
|
- Audit logging
|
|
|
|
### Custom Domains
|
|
Allow shops to use their own domain:
|
|
- Domain verification
|
|
- SSL certificate provisioning
|
|
- DNS configuration guidance
|
|
|
|
### Theme Export/Import
|
|
Backup and restore theme settings:
|
|
- JSON export of all settings
|
|
- Import with validation
|
|
- Preset sharing between shops
|
|
|
|
### Advanced Theme Features
|
|
- Custom CSS injection
|
|
- Custom JavaScript snippets
|
|
- Code-level overrides for developers
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Technical Debt
|
|
|
|
### Test Coverage
|
|
Phase 9 testing is basic. Areas needing better coverage:
|
|
- Shop LiveView integration tests
|
|
- CSS cache invalidation flow
|
|
- Theme application across all pages
|
|
- Responsive behaviour
|
|
- Accessibility validation
|
|
|
|
### Error Handling
|
|
- Better error states for missing products
|
|
- Graceful degradation when theme settings are invalid
|
|
- Network error handling in LiveView
|
|
|
|
### Rename Project to SimpleShop
|
|
**Status:** Not implemented
|
|
**Effort:** Medium
|
|
|
|
The project is currently named `simpleshop_theme` (reflecting its origins as a theme system), but it's now a full e-commerce storefront. Rename to `simple_shop` or `simpleshop` to reflect this.
|
|
|
|
**Files to update:**
|
|
- `mix.exs` - app name
|
|
- `lib/simpleshop_theme/` → `lib/simple_shop/`
|
|
- `lib/simpleshop_theme_web/` → `lib/simple_shop_web/`
|
|
- All module names (`SimpleshopTheme` → `SimpleShop`)
|
|
- `config/*.exs` - endpoint and repo references
|
|
- `test/` directories
|
|
- Database file name
|
|
