I could not be more proud of this team. Online stores with drag and drop editing and that you can customize for different segments? Custom pages using our new Metaobjects feature? 🔥

Yes, let's go. Great summation of something we've been working on for some time. It's been so fun to get to be apart of this in a small way. I can't wait for you all to try it soon.
I've got something very exciting to announce:
Entrepreneurs are heroes, and every hero needs a Sidekick ✨

Long overdue chat with Brandon. Come sit in on our 1:1. Let it be known I did not work "with" Brandon, I worked *for* Brandon. He's a big part of why I'm at Shopify today. Can't wait to do this finally.
Excited to be interviewing

- WTL mechatronics grad
- cofounder of bufferbox (acq. Google)
- VP Product at Shopify, leading technical products in dev platform, core, and now AI

Well this was fun. I watch this every morning as a substitute for my coffee since going caffeine free two months ago. It's working great. I enjoy a morning cry watching merchants change their lives.
The most important story of every business is the one about _why_ it exists. Pulling this story out of a business is hard to do well. I challenged our team to try anyway and I love what they came back with.
*This* is why Shopify exists.

I don’t tweet very often but this week compels me in ways I haven’t felt in a long time. I’m sad for the future. With the overturning of Roe, it feels like the world is proving again it cares so little for women’s lives.

For a platform to scale, there needs to be trust on both sides: developers and end-users. Any app created on Shopify is now going to be consistently reviewed.

This has been in the works for a while and it's a huge overhaul of our POS. It's also amazing how the team managed to incorporate COVID-relevant features so quickly considering building a POS system is no small feat. Congrats team!
Proud to launch the all-new Shopify Point of Sale today. This is a very big step forward to help retailers when they need it most:

Yea we'll work on this. FWIW this is not allowed. Of course you can install any theme you want via uploading but pirating themes is not ok and if discovered will lead to a take down of a store if it isn't fixed.

Yea we are working on this. You can do this easily on the metafields endpoint (just giving key:"namespace.key" vs the metafield id) but just talked to the team and they're working to bring this to when you want to set a metafield from a resource endpoint like variants.

Hmm I still don’t get it. We’re going to a place where merchants will be able to create completely different layouts. We need them to be able to configure break points.

Hey yea to

's point, we did add this and it should work. But it's {{ app.metafields.<namespace>.<key> }}. Sorry
@tobi
no $ needed, that's for when you're building in your own reserved app namespace for metafields. Another v cool thing.
