+1 to the existing recommendations for Spree and Shopify. But seriously, the premise is fairly silly: the toolset used to build a site has a minimal to nonexistent effect on its external appearance. It would be like asking a (building-style, not software-style) architect "I'm thinking about building my next house out of wood. Can you show me some previous projects that used wood?". --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
