## What it is
A collection of self-contained example storefront applications demonstrating Shopify's Storefront API, built with frameworks like React and Ember. The repository is officially unmaintained and the examples are out of date, with Shopify directing developers to shopify.dev for current resources.

## Use cases
- learn how to build a custom storefront with Shopify's Storefront API
- see example GraphQL queries against Shopify Storefront API
- reference React or Ember storefront implementations
- bootstrap a headless ecommerce demo app
- understand how Apollo connects to Shopify storefronts

## When to choose
- you need historical reference code for older Storefront API versions
- you want to study community-built example storefront patterns

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date Storefront API examples or production-ready code
- you are starting a new headless Shopify project (use Hydrogen instead)
- you rely on maintained libraries with current API version support

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: graphql, http-client, developer-tools
- domain: e-commerce, web-development, apis, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
