Tried Devin for the first time today and have mixed feelings. It failed to complete two simplest possible tasks (remove db index and add new admin page). I tried the same prompt in Cursor and it completed it without mistakes. I don’t like the fact that Devin spins a whole new…
Polaris Web Components are finally here! 🎉 It's hard to express my feelings, as I've been hoping for this for a long time. I prefer building Shopify apps with Rails. And as many other devs, I've been struggling with Polaris being React only framework. Struggled so much, that…
Very exciting update! This will make Tailwind Plus so much more accessible. I really love this direction. First Polaris Web Components, now Tailwind Elements. More teams are embracing native web and custom elements.
We just released vanilla JavaScript support for all our UI blocks in Tailwind Plus! 🥳 To do this we've built a new JavaScript UI component library called Elements. It has no dependencies on JavaScript frameworks like React, and works with any modern stack — Rails, Laravel,…
The new app review modal in Shopify is great! Set it up on weekend and already see first results 🤩 It really shifts my focus from support-driven reviews, to designing "aha" moments in apps, after which users are more likely to leave us a review in a modal.
Maybe having some kind of versioning for Shopify App Bridge CDN isn't a bad idea. At least beta/stable channels.
Just started seeing an annoying flash on all embedded @Shopify app nav links that is impacting all apps I've tested, including @judgeme_reviews as shown here. Any @ShopifyDevs seeing this? /cc @liam_at_shopify
"This comparison gives me an ongoing feeling of falling behind. No matter how well I'm doing by my own standards, the internet is huge and I will always find people who are doing better. More productive, more focused, better at marketing, better managers." kirillplatonov.com/posts/comparis…
Finally got my Canadian visa. Way too late for Editions. But I’m fully ready for the next year (and years to come) 🥳
Continuing my test of AI agents. 👨🔬 Today I built a new feature but didn't had time to test everything properly. So I decided to try AI code review on my PR. My first attempt was Github Copilot Pro+. As you can see on the first screenshot - it's still stupid as hell and just…
Polaris Web Components have isolated styles. It's a very good news for apps migration. In this example I use new web component inside old Polaris ViewComponent page. No styles conflicts at all 👌
Oh my god! This is so cool! 🤩 So proud that Platmart Swatches app was highlighted this year! It's truly Built for Shopify, and I'm gonna double down on this path 💎 Wish I could see it in person. @ShopifyDevs Can anyone ship this beauty to Barcelona? 😃
Congrats to @kirplatonov his app was in the shelf of the best Built for Shopify apps 💎 There was only few apps selected for this award. New goal unlocked for the next year⚡️ Also congrats to @heysandy801 his app also was in the shelf 💯💎
Great reading about ideas behind unified Polaris & web components. Love the accent on Shopify being "the web platform". It's a solid bet long-term, that will survive the rise and fall of particular frameworks like React. shopify.com/partners/blog/…
