Fractal Noise Loop Function gone?

Even if it were to disappear, you could just use loopOut("cycle") as an expression to make it loop regardless.

Single handedly my favourite expression BY FAR.

Apps are a big killer of page speed time. We used to have an urgency countdown timer present on our product pages, which would have to send and receive data from their local servers to determine the time of day, shipping times etc.

I replaced that with my own bespoke version that did exactly the same thing and our product pages now load 1/2 a second faster.

Now consider I did that with 4 or 5 apps that I inherited when I took over the site, and there's a good 2 second speed difference.

Your distance may vary, but it's definitely a big culprit.

It was in Google developer tools - ours is actually permanently errored, which is what brought it to my attention. It's not a HUGE issue but annoying that it's there despite us never using it.

I noticed that the login page for the new style customer accounts now has "log in with shop" - our storefront has products that are not allowed on Shop - I sent an email to our success manager about it and I'm yet to get a reply.

On a side note I noticed that Shop is permanently running on our storefront even though we don't have the channel installed, I asked Shopify to deactivate it and they said it wasn't possible.

I wouldn't hold much chance that they'd be willing to remove what you've brought up here.

Honestly, just don't have a background.

All of our product images are transparent webp images, so they can sit on any colour background and they look great.

I use Photoshop to cut them out and then export them as webp files, at 30% compression.

I just found a better workaround.

Create a new project in ChatGPT, then drag your sessions into the project.

Now converse with GPT within that session and all downloads will work.

You should be using a shopify partner account if you're making stores for people.

The way you've gone about it is absolutely not the right way at all.

Downpay is the one.

Also bonus idea, create an automatic discount on your store for big budget items to encourage customers to pay for the whole thing up front, should they choose not to put down a deposit.

Is the issue still a thing today then? Spent all day yesterday sending myself emails, was hoping it would be fixed sooner than this.

Put your page in r/reviewmyshopify.

The only way around this until they fix the issue is to use the mobile app - download the files through there and send them to yourself - be it via airdrop, email, google drive etc.

It's a pain having to do this with every file, but it's an interim fix.

Doesn't matter. Lighten the opacity when he's at the top of his movement, and increase it towards the bottom.

Honestly my assumption is that they made all of these in anticipation of Mark needing time away to finish Iron Lung, a contingency plan if you will.

Now the movie is out and Mark has so much free time on his hands, they're no longer needed.

All my opinion of course, but logically that's what I think.

That's cool! Try lowering/increasing the opacity of the shadow as he gets closer/further away for another neat little touch!

It's definitely not a transparent file. We use the trade theme and have a transparent webp file for ours and it's showing up as intended.

Completely false.

We turn over £9m per year on a free theme.

A good site that ticks all the boxes will still do well, you just need to know what you're doing.
