v1.0.0

Launch Day!

v1.0.0 marks the first public release of this application.

• The site is now live and available for your viewing pleasure at https://exportdefault.shop.
• This release (almost certainly) comes with a ton of launch-day bugs I have yet to discover! Please have fun trying to break the site, I'm excited to see how I'll overcome all of your evil plans. 😅
• v1.0.0 implements all the love, care, and passion I have for software development, and makes use of all of my personal experience in the eComm world: my successes, failures, and everything in-between. This site represents everything that I know to be key fundamentals of a thriving eCommerce business and website, and as such represents my own success in the professional world. If you have any questions, please send me an email connect with me on LinkedIn, or simply connect with me here on Github.
