Simple Web2.0 Request for 2006

A ton of web2.0 applications were released this year, but what I’m looking for has still yet to come. What is it that I want? I want an ajax-enabled shopping cart. I don’t want it to be a hosted application (unless you can prove to me that a commerce system *should* be handled remotely). I want it to be php/mysql, but if its rails, then make it stupid simple for me to install.

I’m tired of OScommerce knockoffs that are too complex for the average person to setup. I don’t want to be overloaded with a bunch of options I’m never going to use. I want a simple shopping cart that does all of the basics, and does them very very well. I want to be able to customize the look & feel of the shopping cart without messing with anyone elses code. I want the software to *make sense*.

Is that too much to ask? Hey, make it affordable, and I’m willing to pay for it!

    Kyle,

    This looks promising… gochaching.com … I’ve been in contact with one of the developers and he seems very excited about it.

    I’m looking forward to checking it out too… I’ve got several clients that could benefit from something simple that integrates nicely into existing designs and isn’t weighted down with a bunch of stuff I don’t need.
