There was a Shopify Partner Townhall after such a long time today… and it brought back memories. Sharing a snippet from my first-ever Shopify event, ADWS Bangalore, 2017. I wrote to @vargabbakshi for a free ticket because I had no money for travel or the ticket. Finally, we got there, and those two days were incredible. The talk @AtulPoharkar gave was a playbook for app building. The feedback I got on our newly launched app from @shashankkr9 , Vargab, and Atul was incredible. The way people came out to help, I knew I had found my community, and I decided: we're going all-in on Shopify. From there to today… what a journey ❤️ Hearing Harley talk about bringing the community back genuinely felt special. And making Dot.dev a 2-day event this year?! 👀 Super excited to see everyone IRL soon. Also..... funny thing. At the event, I kept hearing about "X" so much that I started feeling left out 😅 Feels like the entire Shopify world has moved here. So here I am. First tweet ever. @liam_at_shopify, you've officially brought me here. You're responsible for making sure this is a fun place 😂

Wondering if all Shopify Apps and Agencies will just become a OpenClaw instance in future? Back in the garage, building instaclaw.dev - managed OpenClaw with a twist: pre-built skills. First up: Shopify Skill - hire your 24/7 AI staff for orders, support, inventory & more. With sub-skills like managing emails, ads, seo. Feedbacks welcome.

Requesting the folks at Shopify to please step in and help figure things out. We too have received the trademark notice. And the deadline to fix it is 6 days away. Otherwise, our app will be delisted from the Shopify app store. Just like that. After 5 years of being on the app store and complying with every request or warning or mildly threatening email about fixing something "or else". Quite a violent way to communicate, I feel. Like this is the best a multi billion corporation can do? It does not make any sense @harleyf @ShopifyDevs since the app store is full of apps with "Facebook" and "Instagram" in their app titles and descriptions. Meta is forcing "WhatsApp" named apps to remove the word because they have launched their own WhatsApp app for Shopify. When a big guy flexes, we small people don't have any way out. Except if another big guy ( looking at you @Shopify @tobi ) is there to stand-up and meditate and come up with a more peaceful and decent way to go about it.
We have been building WhatsApp integration for Shopify for the last 5 years due to a Trademark notice from Meta or its representative, Shopify requires us not use “WhatsApp” even as a description of our app.The whole Shopify App is built for WhatsApp. @tobi @ShopifyDevs @harleyf

Just attended @shashankkr9's talk at #ShopQuest by @foxsellapp. Loved the idea of saving time on support tickets and using them to fuel your product development.

Was helping a Shopify merchant on support. Now we are friends. We exchanged notes and taught each other small things. And since I am planning to move to Singapore, got offered to help on condo search as well. Love these small @Shopify stories ♥️

Co-working with @gareebdesigner today! And saw him using the new Apple’s fresh Bento design for a Shopify App Store listing. Am guessing all Shopify Apps Store images now need a update. Last time Nitesh did designs for PushOwl, we were highlighted in new Shopify App Store launch

Something new is on its way… for those ready to listen and learn differently! In a world that never stops talking, who's truly listening? Your ears can go places your eyes cannot. They can transform dead time into living knowledge. What if every moment could feed your mind? The answer is closer than you think. Stay tuned. 🎧

Had pre-ordered Tesla 9 years ago (2016), after @elonmusk tweeted Tesla would come to India. Now after waiting for so long, the pre-order has been cancelled. Will now need to plan for the next electric vehicle.

From being an early user of Requestly, to being an early investor and see you grow the company over the years has been like reading an incredible story with ups & downs. Glad to see the finale having a happy end. Take a break now and enjoy a bit. Looking forward to your next chapter of life :)

That’s a wrap on Day 1 at Shop Camp—engaging discussions, new friends, and a fantastic dinner to end the day. A powerful panel on scaling beyond a million dollars with @shashankkr9 @AtulPoharkar @niwinnm Tri Nguyen. A well hosted round table by @adhithya_vijai . The word cloud of the answers from all the partners was fantastic. So many valuable insights shared by the partners. We were really bummed that @l8r_graham couldn’t join us in person, but thrilled that he could still lead a session with us online! And a quick product launch by @saasromm Day 2 awaits, and so do the mountains! #Shopcamp #Shopify

🚨 Shopify merchants: Pouring $$$ into ads? There might be a smarter way to grow. Just had a deep dive with Phil (@philkyprianou), who scaled his coffee brand from DTC to 230 retail stores. He shared some eye-opening co-marketing lessons. 🧵👇 1/ Phil has tested it all: ☕️ x 🏕️ Outdoor collabs → Big sales, weak retention ☕️ x 🤖 Coffee machines → Boosted trust ☕️ x 🏋️ CrossFit events → High retention ☕️ x 🧥 Newsletter swaps → Solid sales, bad margins ☕️ x 🎙️ Podcasts/TV → Great exposure, but tough for direct sales
