I thought Liquid was created by Shopify, so apologies for that! Didn't realise it was available for others to use. It seems that its just for Ruby / RoR though? We currently use PHP and Python
Well, I've been researching this for 2 days now also, so once I've completed this and see what everyone suggests on here I'll post my findings for everyone to see
The primary goal initially is just to allow people to seriously alter some provided templates or to create their own, so I had not planned on having a marketplace/library (although hopefully this would come out of it). I have a lot of respect for what people have done with the Shopify templates, but I am cautious about rolling our own on the basis that it requires someone to learn it. I was looking for something that might be more widely adopted and used by a few apps (Mustache mentioned in here looks interesting and I'll check it out).
In terms of customiztion with colours, logo etc - we have this already based on CSS. People can pick different colors through a color picker etc and that works well, but I want to two-tier it (as you have suggested) and allow power-users the flexibility to create their own
Thanks for this. I don't feel comfortable with that to be honest - I think this site is good (and there's another similar) but I don't like the idea that there's only one winner and other people put work/effort into it only to not get paid. I will know, from a previous portfolio, who is the right person and someone who we can work with together
