Today I'm launching an early access enrollment to a project I've been working on for the last 90 days, but really mapping out its internal workings for the last two years. It's been a long journey. It's a long story but it's finally starting to come to fruition and I wanted to share it as a win because my life story over the last three years has been tumultuous, to say the least. SWIM (Seamless Web Infrastructure for Merchants), is my earnest effort to want to really help merchants e-commerce from a place of dignity , because in today's market it feels like we're just all renting our space wherever we are. We've moved so far against what the internet was promising: to be more independent, less controlled, less monitored. That's what I'm looking for: merchant sovereignty. Join me on my mission to help merchants become sovereign. If you yourself sell online, we're starting with digital products. Hopefully in the next 60 days I'm not going to wait for it to be perfect. I'm not going to let fear overtake me or the false sense of security from the false sense of perfection. I don't even have my promotional video ready yet. It doesn't matter. I'm still going to roll with it. This is an ongoing process and it's part of what building in public really means. And I like this community and feel like this is the right place to just let it breathe. I've been trying to do this the right way - building while also organically marketing on Instagram, spending time on product market fit and really finding those users who are having these pain points, and there are a lot of them! But also building a company and taking seriously the structure and organization required in order for a company to scale, after all this is the new frontier for the solo dev entrepreneur. Anyway I've ranted enough. The link's below. Check it out. It does link to our documentation, which is still in the works. That's what I really loved about this project: it was born more from the documentation before any code was laid down. Even so changes still had to be made throughout the process and they still do and it's a lot of fun. My focus again isn't becoming the next billionaire, although I don't doubt becoming one, but rather helping the merchant really succeed in such a large market that I see becoming more fraudulent and harder on the merchant every day. Our tagline is "Commerce flows through us. We are the infrastructure of e-commerce. We're not just another store."

If any of you have his twitter/linked in, totally comment and tell him to respond to my email. Want him to come chat with all of us and I think he would be happy to just need him to get eyes on, as someone who gets thousands of emails a day I would not be surprised if he never sees it even if it is valuable.

This might be a dumb question but what exactly are the practical benefits of taking the folder based approach? Does it provide more efficient use of tokens, more consistent results? How can we demonstrate this so we can sell this idea to others? I tried creating a sample home page using the folder based approach versus standard claude.ai but couldn't really see a big difference.
