🎉 Spree Commerce Community Reaches 7,000 Slack Members!
The Spree Commerce open-source community has just achieved an exciting milestone — 7,000 members in our Slack workspace! This number represents much more than community size — it’s a symbol of growth, collaboration, and the vibrant ecosystem that powers one of the most popular open-source eCommerce frameworks in the world.
💬 Why Community Conversations Matter
Every thriving open-source eCommerce project depends on transparent, ongoing conversations between developers, merchants, and the core team. Discussions about features, integrations, and the roadmap help shape the product and keep it aligned with real-world business needs.
At Spree, we foster these connections through Slack and GitHub:
- Spree Slack — a friendly and dynamic space where merchants, developers, and contributors connect to ask questions, share insights, and collaborate on projects.
- GitHub — the hub for all Spree development, where ideas and feedback from the community are transformed into code. It’s the beating heart of our GitHub eCommerce ecosystem.
If you’re evaluating or building with Spree, joining the Slack community is the best way to engage with experts, discover new integrations, and take part in shaping the future of Ruby on Rails eCommerce.
