## What it is
DigitalHippo is a fullstack e-commerce marketplace application for digital products, built with Next.js 14 App Router, tRPC, TypeScript, Payload CMS, and Tailwind CSS. It includes a landing page, product pages, admin dashboard, authentication, shopping cart, and transactional emails.

## Use cases
- sell digital products online
- build a marketplace where users can list and sell their own products
- self-host a Next.js e-commerce store
- learn fullstack Next.js 14 with tRPC and Payload
- manage products and verify listings from an admin dashboard
- start an e-commerce project from a fullstack template

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made digital products marketplace to customize
- you're learning modern fullstack Next.js, tRPC, and Payload patterns
- you need auth, admin dashboard, cart, and emails out of the box
- you want a 100% TypeScript codebase

## When to avoid
- you need to sell physical goods with shipping and inventory
- you require a production-grade, audited, licensed codebase (no formal release process, single-maintainer tutorial project)
- you need multi-vendor payments beyond a simple flow or heavy customization from day one
- you don't want a dependency on Payload CMS
