open source web components, microservices, and infrastructure
hello, my name is chase. metalshop is my dream project to perfect the art of building modern high-end cross-domain microservice-oriented isomorphic web applications. metalshop is a library, and this repository contains everything: frontend, backend, even continuous deployment. features like auth, users, profiles, paywalls and premium subscriptions, community features like forums and questions boards — you get it

start making apps with plug-and-play html components
metalshop is an easy-to-use extensible web-app starter kit, enabling webdevs from junior to expert to get started quickly and easily by plunking down html web components onto any webpage. there's a focus on developer experience, leveraging latest technologies, and exploring best practices. it's easy for juniors to use, but you can take the training wheels off: this is real heavy-duty app developer stuff

looking for collaborators
of course, i'm building my own apps with metalshop. and you should too! join me and we can collaborate together on new features so everybody can benefit. what features would interest you for your own app ideas? we currently need help designing new features, building new web components, and writing business logic for the microservices, kubernetes, and more
    📌 post a github issue if you have any questions
