This week, I quit my job to focus 100% on my side projects (mainly Shopify apps). I worked 12 years as a full-time employee and always enjoyed working on side projects with a dream to one day work full time on them. Now, it is mixed feelings like fear and excitement.

Azerbaycan dilinde "azmak" kaybolmak anlamında kullanılır. Başımdan şöyle bir olay geçmişti: Üniversitede arkadaşlarla grupça bir yere gidiyorduk. Yolu bulamadık, yolu gosteren kıza bizi azdırdın dedim 😳 Efendi biriyim herkes şok olmuştu 🇦🇿🇹🇷

Imagine if Shopify started asking merchants to rate apps inside the admin. This would be a huge game changer, and merchants would probably start rating more based on experience in the app instead of just experience with app support.

Getting reviews on the Shopify App Store is difficult. Merchants are busy and don't want to spend time and energy writing long reviews. We recently started using the strategy of asking to rate instead of review, and this works perfectly.

My friend just told me he noticed my app in the Trending section on the Shopify App Store homepage. I am not sure if that is connected to the sudden traffic load I got 3 days ago.
This is a bit worrying. Around 15 stores installed my app at the same time. They are all from the same location and have a basic Shopify plan. I hope they are not all giving 1-star reviews 😱 or trying some kind of attack. Let's see what they will do.

Did you know that if you update your Shopify app listing, you can instantly refresh search results and see if your app ranking has changed? The app store has no heavy caching, making it easier to immediately see the effect of optimizations.

I think Shopify will stop sharing real merchant emails with apps, and instead, they will start sharing only proxy emails, something like ls5fOW3eurfjsf

The domain authority of is huge. If you're not using the changelog link you're missing a great SEO opportunity.

You can check the thread 👇 to see the improvements I made, but additionally, I would say avoid using the EmptyState component of Polaris, just use the Card component with a button and text instead.
