- Over 200 orders have been fulfilled since launch.
- The store is used to test new features like React Router v7 and React Server Components.
- Design and branding were crucial, with Tim Quirino leading the effort.
- Initial store versions were generic; feedback led to a more unique design.

- Key features include a scroll-synced hero, parallax effects, and optimized cart experience.
- Future improvements include better international shipping and more product drops.
