Show HN: AI slop has flooded the template market
5 comments
AI is replacing this, right? When one can create an e-commerce website from scratch, there's no reason to use a template at all.
AI can't create anything "from scratch." It can only extrapolate from what exists in its training data, which incorporates what already exists on the web, meaning existing frameworks and templates.
- expensive, locked-down ecosystems like Shopify - broken AI-generated junk
So I built Estrocom, an e-commerce template with Astro, Tailwind, and TypeScript, designed to be WCAG AA accessible, SEO-friendly, and mobile-first.

Why it’s worth checking out:
- Accessibility: 0 issues detected by Axe and Lighthouse, WCAG AA contrast maintained - Performance: Sub-1s load time with strong Lighthouse scores - Mobile-first: Works from 360px up to large screens - Atomic design: Atoms, molecules, and organisms for scalability - Full shopping flow: Cart + product categorization - SEO-ready: JSON-LD schema and sitemap support
