Why does an online storefront framework need a fucking app, anyway?

(Don't seriously answer that, I know)

You should express your distaste to Dropout directly - they made the decision to subject their buyers to this trash

    Seconding this. Dropout listens to feedback. They've shown enough grace in the past for me to assume it's not intentional - there's a good chance the storefront didn't even operate like that when they set it up. It's a textbook enshittification pattern. If I were them, I'd want to know.
