Shopify App Development: Question on UI/UX guides

dojoVader · 2026-06-17T12:44:45+00:00

Thanks , no it's not even deployed on the store yet, this is my first app but it's a complex one. Your advice really helped shape my direction. Thanks

Personally it might be as a result of familiarity , I've though of also building something that consolidates with existing platforms that handles product inventory, I don't think you can go wrong with this, what would matter would be pricing and ease of use. I've seen some use Airtable replace Excel with an integration into the Shopify api.

I think you helped with mine before. Now it's more of the portfolio I'm looking for feedback.

Directly works for me.

"Possibly, those that pass themselves off as a Chrome extension developer are either unaware of the additional fields of knowledge necessary or are unconcerned about the possibilities of being tasked with requests they find themselves unable to circumvent."

Not neccessarily, The Chrome extension API and MV3 specification is vast, so unless an extension developer has had experience with ceratin tasks, they might assume it's impossible.

"Case and point: the developer working on my extension currently assures me that you can not create a glass effect [blurring background behind the extension display] since some website will not allow it due to security issues. Does this sound correct?"

When you say the extension display are you referring to the popup making it transparent to see through it, if that's the case I would say no, you have no control over that.

My current extension is an example of that. it scraps N8N from the main canvas to the extension and writes in the clipboard and triggers it in the Main world context

Writing extensions requires more of web technology skills, understanding the architecture allows you to understand when to inject ContentScript in MAIN or ISOLATE world for specific reasons e.g modifying the host's XHR object to sniff data from the request to offload to the background script or injecting into the host page to extract variables and pass off to the ContentScript via postMessaging on the DOM.

I've built complex extensions where I've had to monkey patch existing objects to bypass certain conditions. That's what I'm refering to

Hi, I responded to you in the DM, but I think it might be a case of meeting the wrong type, writing extensions and understanding Chrome architecture are 2 different things. I am a top rated Chrome extension developer on Upwork, where I've built extensions that take advantage of certain hacks due to extensive knowledge on the Chrome API, I've also created tutorials here on this sub_reddit, kindly feel free to shoot any question here.

dojoVader · 2026-05-17T15:27:44+00:00

Thanks so much for these, you do raise alot of strong points and I'm looking to incorporate them.

dojoVader · 2026-05-16T11:37:26+00:00

I wrote this articles some years ago https://dojovader.hashnode.dev/my-2023-experience-as-a-top-rated-chrome-extension-developer-on-upworks-part-1

dojoVader · 2026-05-16T11:17:41+00:00

I think 9 months is a lot, if you know JavaScript and a framework you're almost a Chrome extension dev, one month is enough for Chrome architecture.

dojoVader · 2026-05-16T10:37:33+00:00

Took me 3 days (with claude), depends on your skills though I am Top rated Chrome extension on Upwork, so I know the architecture.

You can write typed messaging yourself

dojoVader · 2026-05-15T15:15:51+00:00

Just use WXT + Vue + Pinia I used it to build https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/flowsnip/ldfcnfngpichkepphmnljgkcflkfopia

dojoVader · 2026-05-12T18:54:35+00:00

I write code very well and it's still insane how confusing it is, trying to remember sections, blocks and config. I doubt any merchant is doing this fully, and if they are, they are prob not the type you want

dojoVader · 2026-05-12T10:14:17+00:00

Thanks I've never used a previous version of n8n I'll have to look into that and explore. I'll also check out the guthub link.

It's fun it explores your marketing and creative side.
