Hi everyone,

A couple years ago, during the height of the COVID pandemic, I built a 
simple shopping cart style app using Apache Turbine and Torque — partly 
as a way to support small business owners, and partly to explore what a 
full Turbine application looks like from top to bottom.

I'm happy to share it with the community as an open source project:

turbine-webstore — a lightweight, customizable shopping cart and 
inventory manager.

It includes:

     Full inventory and product catalog management
     Shopping cart and PayPal integration
     Order tracking, PDF invoicing, and shipping label support
     A secure admin panel with customizable branding and role-based access

The app is easy to get running with Maven, and ready to import directly 
into Eclipse. It also makes a great reference for anyone interested in 
building a full-featured Turbine app with a clean, extensible structure.

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/jlpainter/turbine-webstore/

I hope it proves helpful to others, and open to anyone who wants to 
contribute back and make it better.

Cheers,
Jeffery Painter
