Hi,
I'm wondering what other people's experience is using the Medusa Next.js Starter Storefront. Have many of you found it easy to customise, theme and maintain, or do you normally start from scratch and create a customer storefront?

Thanks!

My thoughts exactly, i depend on cursor and gpt/claude, but since major changes of medusa, i fear it will hallucinate

Hey @ionic atlas I have used the Next JS starter for my startup and adapted it to work in the context of a multi vendor marketplace, without much challenge. If you know the js-sdk / store routes you should be able to have something working in a few days.

Plus, there are a few CMS integrations guides, so customization will be easier if you integrate a tool such as Payload or Sanity

Hi @obtuse marsh thanks for your reply. Have you themed the Medusa UI components at all? I don't have much experience with Tailwind, so not sure if there is an easy way to update the theme colours or not. Thanks for the suggestions with Payload and Sanity. I'll check them out.

Yes! I basically defined My theme in tailwind config (colores, fonts, sizes) and also changed buttons, input components to Match the styles i wanted, justo like any other frontend project

@obtuse marsh Thanks! When you say you changed the buttons and inputs ect. do you mean you modified the Medusa UI component or created new components using tailwind? I had a go at modifying the Medusa UI components, but didn't seem that straight forward, so might be easier to create new ones using tailwind.

@ionic atlas i refactored existent ones as well as creating new ones when refactoring would prove harder
