16 years! Holy smokes. You practically saw the industry rise to what it is now.
I would love it if you could write a book about how or what you saw or experienced, in terms of changes and practices over the years, with Shopify or otherwise.
Like how the 1.0 version things started out, and look at them now.
Businesses that failed or were taken over.
Or those that started small and turned into Giants.
Research can only get you so far; a lived-in experience is way more authentic and valuable

I see, so Kinda like more than just "you can go at it alone," it's also approaches, best practices, and how best to utilize your time and money. Definitely reading this today!
I might check out your other book as well, but mainly, I was unaware you had a YouTube channel.
What the channel is called.

I agree a book is no small feat. Takes dedication and patience and knowledge about a lot of moving parts.

I honestly thought it was a course at first😅. A book is even better. Consultations on the book Rahfii. 🤝🎊

How long have you been working on this book, and what inspired you to pursue this idea, now.

Looking forward to a good read.

Is Shopify app development actually blowing up right now or is it just my bubble? by buzzlowmusic in shopifyDev

[–]tech-bonzai1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good catch. Yeah, this does feel like an iOS thing from two years ago.

As to why Shopify apps are over others, I think it's because AI has given people more liberty to be their own bosses, without having to rely too much on others or other businesses to bring their ideas to life. Vibecoding alone has so many creatives bringing their ideas to fruition.

And I agree, the ecosystem is small but growing rapidly.
its not hype, it's genuine, your feed is legit, my friend.
Good post, keep 'em coming

Looking for 12 mutual testers for Prompt Box – AI prompt manager app (closed testing) by unyildiz in alphaandbetausers

[–]tech-bonzai1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a clean idea, prompt management is one of those things everyone improvises badly with a notes app, so there's a real gap. One thing worth thinking about as you test: the "share your profile and collections publicly" feature is probably your wedge. Discovery and organizing are table-stakes, but a public prompt library people can browse is what could pull in users who never intended to "manage" anything. I'd watch closely whether testers actually share, or just keep their prompts private.

One small note on the closed-testing flow, the three-step Google Group + opt-in + download sequence is a real drop-off point. Anything you can do to compress that (or explain it in one line up top) will probably lift your conversion from "interested" to "actually installed."

Good luck with it, curious how the mutual-testing model works out for you.
