Product pages that show the product

“We go there, we don’t know what we’re buying.” Description, price and a buy button, a carousel of what you actually get, specs and SKUs, and a place for reviews. Prototyped in the lab first, reviewed, then wired in.

4 of 6 done. Status: next.

From the memo Make a product page feel like a product page (2026-09-16) — https://store.sgit.ai/admin/memos/2026-09-16-product-pages/↗

• PP-1 · Prototype one product page in the lab — done — Shipped in v0.3.4 at /lab/product/ — in the surface that already protects it, because a page that looks like a shop and is not one is the most dangerous thing this site could publish and /lab/ says so on its own face with a check behind it.
• PP-2 · Find out which screenshots exist and which have to be taken — done — Counted: seven screenshots exist, of which three are of this store's own screens and usable. The prototype has seven slots and the four empty ones say what belongs in them.
• PP-3 · Put a version on every piece of product media — next — A product page is where a store goes stale first. Four of the seven slots are empty and named; the three that are filled carry no version, and the walkthrough PDFs already put one in the filename for exactly this reason. Blocked on: PP-2.
• PP-4 · Print the specs and the SKUs — queued — The store has 62 and shows none. The same data the Stripe rail is about to need. Blocked on: TM-1.
• PP-5 · Add the review section, and say it is empty — done — Done in the prototype: the section says there are none, says what will fill them, and says there will be no star average, now or later — a rating out of five on a product nobody has bought is the one piece of furniture on that page that could not be honest. Blocked on: PP-1.
• PP-6 · Make the page switchable by audience — done — Shipped in v0.3.4 as a first cut: five edition buttons that change one sentence. The open question is on the page — whether an edition should change the pictures too, which is what would make it an edition rather than a label.
