SneakAvenue
An online store for original clothing, footwear, accessories, and perfume in Minsk. Built a full e-commerce flow: a catalog with brand/size/price filters, cart and checkout, a separate admin panel for managing products, categories, and orders, plus Telegram and email notifications for new orders.

How it's built
Key decisions
Product photos in the cloud, not on disk
The filesystem on a serverless host is ephemeral and resets on every deploy. So every photo uploaded through the admin panel goes to Vercel Blob — it survives redeploys and is instantly visible across every instance.
Notifications never block checkout
Telegram and email order notifications are an optional layer — if the keys aren't set, the order still gets created and works as normal. The critical checkout path never depends on a third-party service.
Drag-to-reorder instead of manual ordering
A product can have several photos — their order is changed by dragging (dnd-kit) in the admin panel, not by editing an index field. A small thing, but exactly the kind of small thing that decides whether a non-technical person actually uses the admin panel.
