Hi everyone!
I just published a new video tutorial that walks through how to build and customize an AbanteCart theme using AI tools — specifically the Cursor AI coding assistant.
In the video, We take a basic idea — changing the Novator theme from blue to green — and show how to:
• Use Cursor AI to intelligently update CSS
• Clone the official AbanteCart GitHub repo
• Locate and modify theme files
• Preview the changes live
AbanteCart is incredibly powerful, but sometimes building or customizing themes takes more time than we'd like. So we explored how AI can:
• Speed up CSS changes
• Maintain clean, standards-compliant code
• Help sellers build and launch faster
• Even assist with writing descriptions and creating images
💡 Now we want to hear from you!
We believe this is just scratching the surface. So we'd love to open up this thread for ideas and collaboration:
• Got a cool theme concept you'd like to build?
• Want help using AI with your store?
• Already testing tools like Cursor, ChatGPT, or Copilot?
• Interested in teaming up to build and list a theme?
