How this project works

Cobblecart Market is an original teaching storefront in twelve complete snapshots. Clone once and run any numbered folder without rebuilding earlier stages.

The path starts with Rails and Hotwire/Turbo, then adds routing, layouts, isolated PostgreSQL catalogs, product pages, accounts, session carts, addresses, seller-owned product CRUD, search, password reset, and production deploy notes.

Authentication uses custom session forms—no scaffold starter kits.

Snapshots 4–12 seed ada@example.com and grace@example.com with password123. Local PostgreSQL runs on host port 5447 with databases cobble_01cobble_12.
