@BallinFil Would love to join

I'm hosting a Shopify Claude Code mastermind from 4-5 est on Friday. No cost or anything. Just some app owners, agency owners, and brand owners sharing cool shit they are building. I want to nerd out and brainstorm ways to solve problems. We'll have some brands there who will live give feedback on stuff too. No pitching, just no-code vibes. Who wants in?

@pbteja1998 @saidheeraj_96 Take some time to sleep and rest in between :)

I now know the meaning of the word "suffering from success"... This is what happens when you go from 0 customers to 150 paying customers in a week... My brother (@saidheeraj_96) has also started taking some of the MissionControlHQ.ai onboarding calls now. He is doing a much better job than me... so I gave him even more calls to take 😅

Wondering if all Shopify Apps and Agencies will just become a OpenClaw instance in future? Back in the garage, building instaclaw.dev - managed OpenClaw with a twist: pre-built skills. First up: Shopify Skill - hire your 24/7 AI staff for orders, support, inventory & more. With sub-skills like managing emails, ads, seo. Feedbacks welcome.

@jasmine_oxify We did the same. But one of the mistakes done was to completely let go off support. Realised keeping 10-20% bandwidth for support as a founder, kept us grounded and close to merchant’s evolving needs.

I finally did something I've been putting off for 2 years. The relief honestly surprised me. Finally hired someone to handle customer support for my Shopify app. I was drowning in DMs and tickets, barely sleeping. My app was growing but I was burning out fast. Now I can actually focus on building features instead of answering the same questions 50 times a day. Admitting you can't do everything solo is tough, but wow, it makes life a lot easier.

@levelsio Many unnamed Indie Shopify Apps have been built out of India. I built @pushowl, Indian company, registered in India, used by 50K+ e-commerce stores globally, and acquired by Brevo.

What Indian startups are used globally?

@jon_kennedy1 Quite tempted to build something offline. Btw Tri (BoostCommerce) has opened a beautiful bar in HCMC in case you every go there.

I love Shopify but sometimes I day dream of building something offline and in a completely different industry. Any other Shopify partners have this dream or urge?

@mechellecarpio I am using Thule but also considered Osprey ones because they have great ergonomic reviews

@shashankkr9 What is the bagpack? going to the mac store this week! Haha

I think it's time for me to get the 14" MacBook since I'm always on the move. I think my body ache is coming from always carrying my 16" laptop lol

@mukundjha @emergentlabs An App Store equivalent for Emergent with reviews/testimonials. Will be great to get the foundation of a high quality built apps. So it needs to be GitHub + Trust layer built in.

Love the idea. Easy to do on @emergentlabs, just connect your GitHub and publish. We should make this more easier though..!

Requesting the folks at Shopify to please step in and help figure things out. We too have received the trademark notice. And the deadline to fix it is 6 days away. Otherwise, our app will be delisted from the Shopify app store. Just like that. After 5 years of being on the app store and complying with every request or warning or mildly threatening email about fixing something "or else". Quite a violent way to communicate, I feel. Like this is the best a multi billion corporation can do? It does not make any sense @harleyf @ShopifyDevs since the app store is full of apps with "Facebook" and "Instagram" in their app titles and descriptions. Meta is forcing "WhatsApp" named apps to remove the word because they have launched their own WhatsApp app for Shopify. When a big guy flexes, we small people don't have any way out. Except if another big guy ( looking at you @Shopify @tobi ) is there to stand-up and meditate and come up with a more peaceful and decent way to go about it.

@jon_kennedy1 @Shopify Fortunately @pushowl is still thriving and growing, supporting 2x the merchants since acquisition

If you’ve sold a @Shopify app or partner company, how did things pan out for the business after acquisition? #shopify

@ayysoni I can see how your Nanobanana tokens have helped here ;)

Just unboxed this bad boy from OpenAI Thanks Sama, what's the quadrillion look like?

@mechellecarpio @logbaseapps @ShopQuestHQ effect. So cool to see such partnerships happening across the world. App + Agencies = Merchant Win

Just partnered with the folks at @logbaseapps . Amazing apps and even more amazing support. Big fan already. 👏

Just attended @shashankkr9's talk at #ShopQuest by @foxsellapp. Loved the idea of saving time on support tickets and using them to fuel your product development.

Launching “App Quest” for @ShopQuestHQ attendees tomorrow. Excited to show a preview on how Shopify App Devs can find new ideas and improve old ones. Comment if you would like a preview as well

Was helping a Shopify merchant on support. Now we are friends. We exchanged notes and taught each other small things. And since I am planning to move to Singapore, got offered to help on condo search as well. Love these small @Shopify stories ♥️

@mukundjha @emergentlabs Super cool to see your journey emerge over time. Professionally and personally - it takes some grit. To infinity and beyond 🚀

We raised $23M Series A @emergentlabs , everyone celebrates that. But we aren't Here's what we truly want to celebrate

@jspujji want

A 21 year old marketer is getting me 10M+ social impressions a year. Using a simple 3 step AI process: He: 1/ Compiles daily transcripts from my meetings 2/ Fine-tuned an AI model to convert them to content 3/ Tracks each metric obsessively I asked him to create a 5 min Loom so all of my portfolio companies can copy this process. Want the loom? Comment “want” to get it.
