It is with a touch of sadness that I am announcing the end of life for CafeScripts. As of September 31, 2008 CafeScripts will no longer be sold and as of October 31, 2008 CafeScripts will no longer be supported. Nearly five years ago I set out to develop a way for web site owners to showcase the items that they designed to sell on CafePress on their own web site. Until that point, anyone that designed an item to sell on CafePress was limited to displaying it on CafePress’ web site. As if it wasn’t bad enough that CafePress already took a cut of what you sold, you had to hand over your web traffic to them too. CafeScripts filled that void by allowing web site owners to display their wares on their own site with many customization options. Sadly, CafePress never released a comprehensive API that allowed developers a way to fully exploit their service and developers relied upon complex (and often messy) data retrieval methods which occasionally were stymied by changes to CafePress’ site. While I am proud of developing CafeScripts, the time has come to move on to new projects and devote my time to other challenges.
