Appétit is a Paris cookbook shop, « pas ordinaire » by its own line. The site presents three sections, the books, the art photographs and the objects, each with its categories and its pages, plus a page about the shop and a newsletter.

The project in detail
The home page captured here dates the project to the day: it is the spring 2020 voucher campaign, asking customers to help their favourite bookshop, four amounts drawn as hearts, to be spent when the shop reopened. A retail site written while retail was closed.
The whole thing is two Angular 9 applications and a Django API. The public site renders its editorial pages without depending on the API, which only serves the catalogue. The back-office is the bookseller's own tool: sign in, then manage the books, the photographs, the objects and the galleries. Two hundred and eighty commits between April and June 2020, across the three repositories.
This was how we worked at the time with Duy NGUYEN: he owned the Angular interfaces, I owned the Django API, each in its own repository, each with its Docker image and its deployment file. Both applications still rebuild today with their original toolchain, without a line being changed.
