Is there a way to control Cursor/VSCode from let’s say a Telegram or WhatsApp conversation or any input source for that matter? I’d like to see if I can message or talk to an agent remotely that does some prototyping and development while I’m doing other stuff. But it’d have to do it in my dev environment that I can just continue later. Maybe I’m more looking for some CLI remote control session that can perform standard tasks like running a few commands and controlling Cursor’s Composer.

Hey we’re in the middle of it too! Do you mean no Polaris? We’ve at least reached “Review” stage but we for now opted to not have an embedded UI as you are not allowed to have partial embedded and partial external UI. We made a springboard inside Shopify to access most important features in our own portal. Wasn’t allowed 😭

Better searching and filtering is almost done! A much needed feature for our Customers overview. Need to find everyone on a certain plan? Just select it. Need to find who has a certain product in their subscription? Just add it. Then export the filtered results to CSV.

Did our first real iDeal subscriptions payment on @shopify Native Checkout today. This is the first private beta merchant launching on our new @firmhouse native Shopify Checkout integration! So good to have some real money going through this flow now. On another note: The Firmhouse team crushed it last week with Shopify-related progress. We made our private beta integration ready for the Shopify app store within one week. Can't wait to share that public listing page soon so that any merchant can get started on our platform with only a few clicks. A few sneak peeks: - Merchants will have a special Springboard inside their Shopify admin to access the most important Firmhouse features—without having to log in to the Firmhouse Portal separately. - On top of that, we have a subscription widget available for embedding via Theme Editor 2.0. We'll be supporting many common and existing merchant use cases for the subscription widget. Pair that with our already heavily customizable and flexible platform! Now that we have the fundamentals done, it's time to start perfecting and iterating with more early launch merchants. We'll get all the special features the Firmhouse platform already offers working in Shopify.
