The Backdrop:\n\nLuma is the default theme that Magento 2 websites around the world have been using for years. \n\nIt's several years old, trying to compete in the fast-paced world of eCommerce. So the question is "Is it the best solution?". \n\nThere are Magento themes for sale that are full of bells and whistles. They're intended to give you lots of extra features quickly, but also add complexity and technical debt for your developers. \n\nProgressive Web Apps (PWAs) are another way to go, but as newer entrants into the market, they bring their own challenges.\n\nEnter Hyv\xe4:\n\nAn experienced Magento developer was planning to build an eCommerce site for his wife's business and wanted to use Magento. However, he was dissatisfied with Luma and its old coding languages and methodologies. He wanted something cleaner, built with newer coding languages. \n\nThey say that necessity is the mother of invention. In this episode, we chat about the variety of theming options that led Willem Wigman to create Hyv\xe4, as well as what a theme like Hyv\xe4 can mean to the Magento community - from the happiness of developers to the Google Core Web Vitals scores earned by merchants, and the billable hours needed to build and upkeep a Magento 2 store.\n\nGuest: Andreas von Studnitz, integer-net.com\nHost: Robert Rand, jetrails.com \n\nAdditional Resources about Hyv\xe4 that you may find helpful:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qftuffCI8m8\n\nhttps://www.slideshare.net/AndreasvonStudnitz/successful-projects-with-hyv-the-impact-of-developer-happiness
