More and more closed and centralized social and e-commerce platforms are getting their open-source alternatives, and now a group of developers has taken on Shopify by creating Medusa.
According to CEO and co-founder Sebastian Rindom, Medusa is a headless commerce platform, whose source code is open and available under the permissive MIT license, to be audited and/or modified.
The platform is modular, made up of what Rindom calls building blocks that allow users full freedom in customizing their setup. Medusa’s “headless” nature means it is managing, storing, and delivering content separated from the front-end (“head”) user experience such as a device, an app, or a website.
