Bang. Killed another app. Built 11. Bought 5. Killed 7. On track. Locked in.

energy around shopify editions is pretty damn infectious. my feed's full of real people doing real things irl.

Bought another shopify app for 2.4X arr. It's one of the healthiest businesses I've seen in a while and I've done diligence on at least a hundred apps. A few years ago this would have gone for 4x easy.

woke up thinking about how i could add Fluffycones to my shopify app

Got sick of clicking through endless Shopify app access requests and trying to remember the right permissions for each app. So I built a browser extension that autofills and submits access requests using templates. Click once. Done. Boom Boom.

Half baked Shopify App idea. Flux. A dynamic pricing app that moves with demand and time to maximize margins. 1) Raise prices as stock runs low (Velocity Mode) 2) Lower prices to move slow sellers (Dutch Mode) Flights, hotels, tickets, even flower auctions use dynamic pricing to boost margins. Yet most Shopify stores still rely on fixed prices or manual changes. It's time for big business pricing intelligence without the big team. Maximize margin on hot products Clear aging stock without deep discounts Price smarter with Flux.

Don’t ask builders to go build while you bulldoze what they’ve built. I’m all for removing fake Shopify reviews. We all want a trustworthy ecosystem. But we shouldn’t be deleting reviews just because we’re uncertain. If we can’t clearly separate outdated, unhelpful, untrusted, or fake, maybe the system needs more transparency, not more deletion. Estimates suggest ~50% of all reviews were removed. Real reviews were swept up too. Some may have been older, shorter, or from stores that have since closed. That alone shouldn't invalidate them. Reviews are hard earned. They’re not just numbers. They represent people and real support. They reflect weekends and late nights. Don’t delete it just because it's noisy. We understand this is hard to do at scale. But that’s exactly why transparency matters. Want a fairer ecosystem? 1) Show us what was removed 2) Tell us why 3) Let us challenge it There’s always work to do. Maybe it starts with showing more of their work instead of deleting ours.

The Shopify $1M annual reset wasn’t just generous. It was a signal.

Outsourcing support is one the worst decisions you can make as an indie Shopify app owner.

This is my revenue. 12 years, 5 businesses and countless hours trying to build something better. Changing course from lucrative but stressful project based work to subscription models was painful and slow - but worth the struggle. Never too late to build something better.

It's so much easier to start a business than it is to stay in business.
