THIS WEEK IN SHOPIFY APPS
Vol. 2

Your weekly thread on everything that's happened in Shopify Apps.

What. A. Week. Let’s go! ⬇️
Flexytime.

Not everyone dreams of diamond Rolex Datejust watches but it’s still fun to watch people build incredible businesses on top of Shopify + enjoy life. @dennishegsted should get himself a custom @orderbump watch from econde-seconde.com 💦💦
Spotlight.

Getting exposure for your app matters. Getting featured in the app store matters a lot. Congrats goes out to @nomad_maker for being featured for a second time. Her thread includes some tips to get featured. Hint: make friends at Shopify.

It's incredible to see Mr. Market (fs.blog/mr-market) take Shopify on a ride like this. I'm long Shopify stock and have been #BTFD all month long. Not investment advice - but if you're a partner maybe you should own a piece of the mother ship?
Growing. Pains.

Shopify can delist your app without warning❗️

@DsMatie summarizes the gist in a thread below.

Maybe building castles in someone else's sandbox means you have to play by their rules?

Or maybe Shopify needs more transparency?
Doodles.

Shopify twitter account leans in on cryptoland. Good or gross?

@pa1ge didn't like it. I personally don't hate it - but I loved the Buscemi meme from @amythibodeau in that thread. 🛹

Workshop.

Maybe a little more merchant side but @_ryanmacdonald_ had some great tips for improving page speeds for shops. The Google font idea was A+

Maybe there is a productized service app idea buried in this thread. 👀

💯 Installs.

Celebrate every milestone and it's always cool to see people hit 100 installs like @ArjunRajkumar did this week. Boom man that's awesome.

Best & Worst.

Should I have multiple apps in the same category? I'm thinking like a Toyota App, and a Lexus App. Does anyone do this. Interesting tweet from @BPindulic

One Love.

Shopify dev world starting to feel a little more Wordpress-ey with the community support/love. ✌️❤️

Kudos to @JackCulpan and @FORSBERGtwo for the assist on this play.

Up for adoption.

I've actually bought an app from @babysoftluke so it's cool to see he's looking for a home for one of his apps. He's giving it away. For. Free. Hit him up. Good way to get your foot in the door as a partner.

Money talks.

Interesting thread here from @TalktoHenryJ who like many non technical cofounders are always looking for ways to get quality code written. There's a good breakdown on how to think about the devs you hire in tiers and their costs.

Deep thoughts.

Should free apps be free?

@gilgNYC @vishshet and @cargix1 have some opinions on this one.
That's a wrap for this week.

If I missed something worth mentioning in the world of Shopify Apps please let me know.

Until next time my friends. ✌️
Oops. Mis-mentioned you @dennishegstad
