“The one thing”: Double your development speed!

Everyone has experienced “the one thing": Imagine, you're using a framework that you already know upside-down. Everything seems to work, until that one thing happens – you're now stuck on the issue that you already faced before. In fact, you may have faced this issue hundreds of times! It might be a bug, a missing helper or a code generator, or an architecture design flaw that forces you to spend more time and write more code. If this One Thing gets fixed, you would be so much more efficient at your work.

So now it’s your time! It’s time to change Spryker PHP Framework so you get maximum benefits from it and become faster at all the hard work you do. Some ideas to consider: Decrease project feature development by 2x by removing framework pitfalls, adding missing framework components, helpers or any other creative ways. Keep in mind that feature development includes many phases from requirements gathering to implementation, testing and release.

From our side we guarantee that the best implementations will be reviewed and released by our Core Team, and the best ideas will be taken into the roadmap evaluation 🏆️

Winning Criteria
⭐ Value/Impact: Potential of decreasing feature development time.
🔎 Realistic: What’s the chance to realize the value in Spryker project scenarios.
🚀 Innovation: A solution with cutting-edge technology, patterns or designs will be valued higher.

Note: Typically solving 1x issues but on 100% would have higher impact, than a generic solution for all problems addressing them just partially.
