Busy Saturday morning at the shop but now more staff is here and I can get back to work on making it so the web site can take orders for pounds of coffee to ship. Today I finished up the work on looking up shipping rates and generating a final summary. The next step is collecting payment information (or rather, collecting a token that can be used to initiate a charge with a payment processor. I'm trying to minimize the data collection here because you can't lose data you don't collect).

Other features: no Javascript except for a little bit at the very end of the process for integration with the payment processor, only 1 cookie and it's a session cookie so if you ever close your web browser that will go poof and that only gets generated if decide to add an item to your cart or try to look at an empty cart. No tracking bugs scattered around the site. No accounts to create or log into (browser auto form fill features make this less useful).

Also no auto-opt-into my non-existent marketing mailing list.

@neal 💯 I wish every commercial transaction I participated in had these features. Even the IRL ones often have some marketing list nonsense to opt out of these days.

@yomimono I'm bad at marketing, but hoping enough people are sick of companies acting like creepy stalkers that this turns into a benefit. Keeping my expectations low.
