The different pieces could be product pages. The main metal part, and then say it needs a 12mm band. You can have a menu link to 12mm bands. Customers could add one to the cart. Then other pieces like hands, if those are separate. Useful too because it can track stock qty.

I don't know if Shopify makes sense at your scale, but having worked at an online merchant that used it, I know that you can put color/size options within a listing, with photos.

Etsy also has a dropdown for color/material options, so you may be able to make something like that work.

An expressive watercolour painting of a great spotted woodpecker

I'm currently knee-deep in updating my website in preparation for a big seconds sale this Saturday. There's a LOT to add! Anyway, here's my expressive watercolour painting of a Great Spotted Woodpecker.

I used to buy a lot of paper products from Target, but now I have cloth napkins and silicone containers. Also those little laundry sheets in recycled paper boxes instead of big plastic jugs. Quality of life improvements that save money and are better for the environment.

There's not always something to learn from the opposition.

When people are willing to repeat lies, say 1+1=3, and it's all a loyalty test, I'm not going to get my calculator out and question my math. I'm going to see it for what it is and not waste my time.

Online Board Gamers Play Splotter's Food Chain Magnate, Horseless Carriage, The Great Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Antiquity, Bus, Cannes, and Web Online for free with others, or solo!

You can try several Splotter games at www.onlineboardgamers.com

Indonesia is there. I've not tried it online, only in person. But I have played several of the others online. Bus and TGZ might be good places to start.

Pretty varied month. Got to play Inhuman Conditions for five separate sit downs which never happens.

Tried out a bunch of domino games. Played some classics.

Martini goes up to 4p. It's trick-taking, so it depends on what you mean by domino games.

Hammer Glamour can be played with dominoes and cards. It's my take on the second half of For Sale.

Pokkadott by @seandavidross.bsky.social is 2-4. He has several designs for 4p.

Unless they get a contract from the fed gov't to replace the USPS (no unions, etc). I've long suspected Amz establishing their delivery network has been a buildup to that goal.

I'm sure Rheinlander and Ra TDG are great (haven't played) but if you want the Stu Bundle, games I stand 100% behind:

Six of VIII
Cup the Crab
Hits & Outs
Phantom of the Opera
Orbita

These are all bangers
