During the last few months I've been working on some new functionality for client Realmac Software's RapidWeaver Marketplace; I'm excited to say it was released yesterday πŸŽ‰

The Marketplace is a hub where 3rd party add-on developers advertise their plugins for Realmac's superb website builder RapidWeaver. The new functionality allows developers to purchase a subscription to promote a product in search listings, for example to draw attention to promotional pricing only available for a limited period.

The build involved updates using Laravel, front-end development in React, a custom Laravel Nova admin dashboard plugin, some Algolia Instant Search index tweakery and more than a pinch of payment gateway fairy dust 🧚✨

Here’s Realmac founder Dan giving a demo of the new functionality πŸ™Œ.
