Cody is making full landing pages, so then I would assume a full 'redirect' test. These are often the toughest because even Intelligems resorts to a javascript redirect which can often result in a flash of the old page. There was a recent debate around apps like Intelligems hurting ad performance because it confuses the algo + adds UX issues like speed issues and flashes of another page before redirect to the user. x.com/connor_m/statu… I was curious if @codyplof felt AB testing in the ad platforms was a safer bet.

@tymyshoe86 @codyplof I would guess he’s using intelligems. Elevate works well for me at about 1/4 the price.

I’ve spent a ton of time vibe coding in Shopify. I think I’m pretty good at it. I don’t do it during the day. But it’s my current night, weekend, and early morning obsession. No idea why but it’s so fun and rewarding. Plus makes me more money. I’m setting up 2-3 new landing pages or multi variate CRO tests per week. Here’s a bunch of what I’ve learned and some tips on my process: Strategy is so important because of how fast you can move now. Our hit rate is higher than ever on CRO tests. I have a bunch of skills I built for CRO and insights. CRO skill - trained on CRO best practices and frameworks, all of our past intelligems tests, and site traffic to prioritize. But most importantly attached to a giant customer intelligence file that is fed via api from Typeform, listen labs, outer signal, junip, and more. Every survey we run or review we get makes this step better. I have a few different skills for building new pages or features. They kick off the insights process and competitor analysis. They build a html brief compiling all of this with some low fidelity mockups. The mockups are usually rough, even though they are using the design system. I’m sure I can architect some of the skills better, but it always makes mistakes and takes some trial and error. But I can get it looking 90% or the way there in an html file pretty easily. From there I have two workflows. One is pushing straight to Shopify. I have html to liquid skills that are trained on our theme architecture and requirements. Then using the Shopify CLI. Always building locally and pushing to a dev theme to preview. My favorite way to do this is on my phone using remote control and wispr. I often find it’s easier to polish designs in Shopify because it has all of our CSS. The other workflow is going from html to Figma. I find the Figma mcp is bad for this, so I use the html to Figma plugin. It’s not perfect but it gets the job done. I’ll have my design team polish the last 10% in Figma, and then I’ll use the Figma mcp to push back to Claude and then liquid. I find the Figma mcp much better for this part than pushing to Figma. From here I can just finish in Shopify and then I have a skill to manage the whole GitHub push/ pull/ merge/ PR process. Also been using Greptile for code reviews. I’ll often get a 3/5 at first and just feed Greptiles comments back into Claude; do 2 rounds of iterations and gets tons 4/5 and then I will submit the PR again. Before the PR I have two share skills. One is a design system audit, and the other is one I built for compliance to our theme that is based on feedback from early PR mistakes. A lot of things just trial and error. It’s like a video game; you just push, aww where you get stuck and try new things to push past it. When one approach works, build a skill to repeat it and it becomes part of hour workflow. But you’ll probably want to iterate on your skills. Happy to answer any questions or show some things I’ve built. At first I thought I was only gonna do this for landing pages. But I rebuild our cart while I was poolside last week, have a nav test, etc. I truly think one person can now run a best in class CRO/ experimentation program that encompasses strategy, research, design, copywriting, development, and analysis. Maybe it’s not the best in the world, but it would normally cost a lot more. We’re still hiring for this person. I’m essentially going to train one highly ambitious person on this workflow and give them a bunch of tokens. If that’s you, hit me up.

@typeangled Will this make it into the next patch version? Minor version?

The new `rails query` is pretty cool, especially when used with Kamal aliases.

@codyplof I'm building this out right now too. Have you developed a style guide.liquid page for claude code to refer to? I developed a set of 30 sections for it to better understand our design system and aesthetic. Next is making sure you have custom well defined sections that it can work with. The more concrete .. serving a single Limited purpose the easier of a job the AI will do at staying within your parameters. Invest heavily into these narrowly focused sections. Put the time and effort in here. Wildly complicated theme sections with nested block options will choke the AI Develop a skill file that maps out all of these sections and let it know what kind of structure is defined - it'll be easier to know when to choose this type of block. Next step built a custom MCP server that has knowledge of your image files. This is the hardest thing to get your pages looking good. How do you get images in? I built an AI to set great Alt text on every image in my repo. Then MCP server to show all images and let the AI decide which image to choose (even if you get a better temporary placeholder here, it’s better then no images) Of course keep on iterating on the skill file to get better results.

Has anyone gone DEEP on building design systems in Claude? I think mine is pretty good and I’m able to design production ready pages for Shopify. But it still takes too long and ignores a lot of the instructions. Would love to compare notes with anyone that has gone deep here.

@AnthropicAI you have a significant bug in your Console billing system. $200 in credits and I can't get out of the 'Evaluation Tier'. System is marking my purchases as a 'grant', not a purchase. Have contacted support multiple times with no response. Can someone help?

@ricsdeol @gnoshme @davetron5000 @heroku Having the same issue.

@gnoshme @davetron5000 @heroku Same error here, "Running release command"

@IntuitDev @IntuitDevStatus I'm experiencing issues with the QBO API. Specifically getting back empty data on requests. There are several other errors happening too.

@tomfriedman Love your books. Anything new on the horizon?

@mandrillapp @Mailchimp We're also having issues with Emails being dropped / emails not being sent.

@vegancomics @PrintNode Yes, @PrintNode . We're also having trouble.

@PrintNode Yes, we are experiencing connectivity issues. Please let us know when the issue is resolved.

We have a minor outage due to a server issue which may be causing problems connecting for some users. We are working on getting the system up and running and hope to have this resolved shortly. Please bear with us for a few minutes.

@PrintNode @PrintNode Please let us know when this is resolved.

We are currently experiencing an issue with our server which may be causing difficulty connecting. Please bear with us while we fix it - we estimate this should only take a few minutes.
