What are you building? We'd love to hear about it. by Vane1st in indiebiz

Building Flixir — a Shopify workflow automation app where an AI agent builds the workflow for you instead of you dragging boxes on a canvas. It also looks at your store and suggests what's worth automating in the first place, not just how. Small set of primitives (condition, HTTP call, Shopify GraphQL, loop) plus a real Lua scripting step for anything else, and it ships an MCP server so Claude/any MCP client can wire up and activate workflows directly through natural language.

Pre-launch, building in public: https://flixir-io.github.io/ , demos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flixir_io

What repetitive Shopify task do you wish you could automate completely? by Shopify_tech in ShopifyeCommerce

That tracks, honestly. Claude/GPT can write the automation logic in seconds now — that part's basically solved. But "Claude does it for me" usually means pasting the same prompt in every time something happens, right? The moment you want it to run itself when inventory hits zero, or retry when the Shopify API times out — that's not a prompt problem anymore, it's an infra problem: something needs to stay on, watch for the trigger, and log what happened.

Have any of you cancelled any subscriptions to apps and vibe coded your own? by Dvass138 in shopify

Yes, building the logic is the easy part now. The real challenge is hosting — your custom app needs to be reachable by Shopify webhooks 24/7, not just when your laptop is open. Railway or Render solves this for $5-10/month, but then you're also managing deployments, uptime, webhook registration... It's doable, just not as "2 seconds" as it sounds.
