Sell fine art online. Cairn is built to be fast and secure to display artwork full screen and across a wide range of display sizes.
Cairn is fast because template rendering is handled on the client side. Cairn replaces the theme and permalink features of WordPress by hooking into the rewrite rules with url rules defined in static/urls.json. Templates are written using EJS Templating and are rendered on the client side. There is a jQuery plugin written that uses the same rules to speed up user interactions, and with enough data able to render URLS without a request to the remote server.
Cairn is secure because personally identifiable information is stored in the database encrypted with a GPG public key, and private keys stored optimistically offline. This information should be submitted over an TLS connection (HTTPS), and is compulsory when using this plugin. Additionally security features include payments being able to be handled using cryptocurrency Bitcoin, and thus no potentially personally identifiable information is nessasary to be shared with a third party and can be directly peer-to-peer.
