POS v11.0 is about what merchants actually care about: → The cart stays in view while staff work → Edit multiple items without repeating steps → Find or add customers instantly → Checkout with fewer taps This is where @Shopify POS is headed. Not just faster checkout, but designed for how retail actually works.

Proud of this one – a culmination of many months iterating on design, stress testing, and rebuilding the POS design system from scratch.
We just shipped v10 of @Shopify POS. Major redesign. Faster. Smarter. And built for selling in person, your way. Here are the headlines: - Branded POS screens - New home screen layout & navigation - Redesigned cart - Smarter, faster search Fewer taps. Cleaner workflows. More control. If you’re not already selling in person, there’s never been a better time to start.

For merchants selling in-store or on the go, we're adding some of your most requested features to @Shopify POS. ​ Customer segments now include distance-based filters so you can drive customers to local stores and events. ​ Customer metafields are now on Shopify POS so you can capture and leverage customer data at retail. Save details like shoe size and let staff know when to offer a birthday discount. Metafields sync instantly across POS and online sales channels, giving you more insight into a customer’s preferences. ​ Offline payments are easy. Now, if you lose your internet connection, you can still accept payments with a Shopify card reader. No more lost sales. ​ Unverified returns are now possible, so when a customer doesn’t have a receipt or order number, you can refund to a gift card. This will be especially convenient for holiday gift returns. ​ The barrier to entry for selling in person has never been lower. You don’t need a physical store or POS hardware to get started in retail. You can accept payments with just a smartphone with Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android. ​ Check out more retail improvements… shopify.com/editions/winter2…

Blown away by the design and technical capability demonstrated in this.. blog post? Wow.
I recently started learning about the logic behind Bézier curves and decided to document it. I shared my first drafts with @joaccord and we collab’d on design and interactions of this article. 👉🏽 blog.richardekwonye.com/bezi…

This Netflix series about @PatrickMahomes is great but they keep interrupting him with these other two randos.

Optimistic about shifting some of my own device behaviors now that Reddit has killed off 3P apps and Twitter is somehow getting even worse.

It's a real shame that Reddit seems to care this little about the community that rather than making an effort to talk to developers and moderators and apologize for how this was handled, they'd rather just wall themselves off and and dare users to keep going.

Every time I tweet something relevant/opinionated, I almost immediately regret not being sarcastic instead. Need to work on my shitposting.

Leaders touting WFH/remote/distributed ineffectiveness propaganda is exposing themselves as poor hiring managers and poor motivators - at best. It has worked in the past, it’ll continue working now under proper leadership.

Just got off a call with Reddit about the API and new pricing. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comme…

I will tell you why hiring managers don’t respond to you and what you expect (and can do).
