Suggestion for the Store - Tourma - 10-31-2023

Hi all,

I have a few suggestions for improvements to the Pine Store.

1.  More photos. 
     More photos with more angles, and in relation to other products.  Like the Pine Dock with the Pinebook Pro.
     Images showing sizes/dimensions.  i.e. the length/width/height of a product with lines showing thus
2.  More robust descriptions.
     A lot of the products have very spartan descriptions.  Some just it's aspects and no hint at what it actually does. I suspect this is under the assumption that those who are looking at Pine products know what they are looking for.  Which I'm sure is true for a large segment of those purchasing stuff, but for example, me, I kinda know what I'm looking for, but I've had to ask questions here and on Matrix to clarify some aspects.  Like that the Pinecil needs to be plugged in to work.  Obvious once you think about it, but you have to think about it.

That's my two cents.

I think the Pine Store is atrociously BAD.
It does indeed usually miss the most essential product data, like f.e. the Quartz64 SBC page doesn't list which SoC it has. Confused

Or on the front page:

PineTab
An Open Source tablet supporting a variety of desktop and mobile Linux and BSD operating systems.
Starting at $99
With a "Pre-order Now!" button

That refers to the original PineTab which is no longer made.
It links to the PineTab2 though, which is in stock (the Arm version), for $160 or $210.

Luckily the wiki does have all the information you'd want.

It feels like there should be a way to directly lift the info from the Wiki and put it on the pages. Like, in a dynamic way, so if something changes, the store page changes too without needing a person to change it. I dunno.

Fuck, I'm halfway willing to take more photos of my PineTime if that's what it takes. I dunno how community driven he store is.

Not at all.

If those photo's would be useful for the wiki, then please do make them and add them to the wiki.
