First Impressions from a brand new user switching from Odoo.
I downloaded the source code and ran in VS with no issues. I installed the database against SQL 2017 Express on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) but it seemed the install web page was hung so I check the database and all the tables seem to be there. Then the install web page (running in debug in VS) stopped for some reason without any note or warning. I restarted the project in debug mode and the site came up and looks great. So there might be something hokie with installing the database in debug mode in VS? No biggie though.
One thing to note, the install page was not responsive to my browser window size changes. From a user experience, it sucked to have to re-enter the passwords in 3 fields over and over as I worked out the permissions needed in SQL. My recommendations is on the install page, put a link to a visual guide to what permissions to set for a non-sa user in SQL.
Clicking around in the customer website menus results in load times of 2-4 secs; however, my database server in in the cloud and the app is running locally on VS so that is to be expected.
Overall, the site looks nice and responsive. I am looking forward to learning more about nopCommerce running on Linux. My expertise is in C# Core/SQL for enterprise applications and not python/postgresql so I am excited to switch.
Has anyone created a guide on how to deploy this version to Ubuntu?
