Your Next Store
Launched this week
YNS is an opinionated commerce stack for agencies and software teams building design-forward brands.
You can create a store by chatting with AI but the real advantage is the foundation: well-modeled commerce primitives exposed through API. Each store is a structured, Stripe-native, production-ready Next.js app that plugs into AI workflows (Codex, Claude Code), with full code ownership when needed. Commerce rebuilt for the agentic future, where agents build, reason about, and operate commerce.

Really nice project! Congratulations on your launch!
Question: do you account for scalability in the design of the store as the volume potentially grows?
Your Next Store
@avz Yes, we built YNS on Vercel and Stripe from day one specifically so it scales automatically as volume grows. A good example is rePebble, which hit the top of Hacker News twice with a big Reddit community piling in at the same time. The platform handled everything just fine, with one minor hiccup in a Redis service unrelated to YNS core.
I’m curious how customizable the generated stores are after launch. Having full code ownership while still using AI workflows sounds like a really good balance.
Your Next Store
@christian_onochie Great question and honestly one of our core design decisions. You get full access to the storefront codebase, no strings attached. (and the storefront code base is entirely open source)
A lot of our users are software agencies and design studios and they pushed us hard in this direction. They need complete control over design, animations, and presentation, and they should have it. Unlike tools like Lovable, we deliberately don't vendor lock you to our chat interface. The storefront is yours: clean Next.js code, built with a curated set of best practices you can actually build on.
we're also working on dedicated flows to make the agency-client handoff even smoother.
So if a store starts getting decent traffic, does it scale well? That's always been a pain with some platforms.
Your Next Store
@kaysinb totally valid concern! We built YNS on Vercel and Stripe from day one specifically so we'd never have to worry about it. Best proof we have: rePebble launched on YNS and had a wild ride. It hit the top of Hacker News twice and had a massive Reddit community all pile in at the same time. The platform held up without a sweat. The only blip we saw was a few minutes of downtime with a Redis service we use for pre-reservations, completely unrelated to YNS core infrastructure (+ since then we also improved that part)
explain plz to a non-tech small ecomm owner, how that'd be better than Shopify?
Your Next Store
@artur_wala1 Great question! with Shopify you start simple but quickly realize you need plugins for almost everything: reviews, subscriptions, search, tags, etc. Each one may cost money. Before you know it you're paying thousands per month and your store still breaks during Black Friday because it's too complex or worse, you need a pricey dev agency to do some custom work... using Liquid
With YNS, all of that is built in from day one. No plugins to install, no conflicts, no surprise bills. One store, everything included, just works. You focus on selling - we handle the rest.

The Stripe-native + full code ownership angle is the part I'd actually lead with more — most agency teams I talk to are scared of AI tools that create lock-in or bury the payment logic in a black box. What I'm curious about is how it handles the store design side once the data model is sorted — because generating a working product catalog is one thing, but getting to something a client would actually put in front of customers is usually where the real time goes.
Congrats on the launch! Curious how you’re thinking about integrations - will the platform stay centered around a smaller set of core tools, or open it up to a wider ecosystem over time?
"Instead of adding flexibility, we removed it" is unironically the bravest and most beautiful pitch I've ever heard in e-commerce:D Death to plugin hell!
Your Next Store
@kostfast Yeah, death to plugin HELL :) ...many said it couldn't be done. They were right. We did it anyway.
