@coriander if you didn't then just goblin it up and make it gender
unnecessarily deep cut. On like two levels.
@gaditb @nektworks honestly they could stand to be documented more
@wikipediahaiku is this rp
@coriander yeah, i mean, having a storefront manager like weebly is definitely the correct way to do things nobody wants to manage that shit by themselves, but unfortunately my impression is that all storefront managers basically are terrible and only let you do the narrow list of things they think you should want
doing it manually is a pain but at least you can trust that it's working right? 🤷🏻♀️
@coriander my GUESS is that weebly probably has the checkout process pretty locked down and won't let you add scripts there but that could be wrong
if they do then yeah it's easy to just send a request to a page in a script
in that case the problem is where are you STORING that information (has to be on somebody's server and i don't think weebly lets you); there do exist hosted website “hit counters” which are basically this, but you would have to be careful because you only want the counter to increment when people ping the thingy, not just whenever people retrieve the image
@coriander not sure it is trivial since it depends on weebly providing that information and i'm not sure they do
it looks like they don't have a public API (thingy you can send questions to) for stuff like order counts; they have a non-public one but (a) it requires an access token, which you definitely shouldn't give to people browsing your site, and (b) it doesn't say how many of an item were sold, it can only give the total number of orders for the entire site
so if weebly themselves don't provide this functionality in the site editor you might be out of luck; i don't know how you would get the information from them (if you have a reliable way to get the information the rest is probably doable lol)

I am super excited to announce the launch of a solo podcast project I've been working on!
Introducing The Art of Sysadmin, a podcast where I talk about all things sysadmin from a more human perspective rather than a technical one.

@monorail @coriander well it doesn't seem to have done much else for me 😅
@monorail @coriander there’s a kimmy walters poem which is like, “i don't know which possibility is worse, that we invented sadness, or that it has been there all along, waiting for a being capable of perceiving it” and i feel that
