I can never remember the review link for my own apps. Every time, I'm digging for it again. Never again, nah uh. Alfred now adds a button to every app on the @Shopify appstore that copies its review URL for you. Small thing, but this is going to be my favorite button.

This is the way! Also, I think there should be a visual freshness signal in the appstore. Say for example the last update that was pushed, the version number and even an appstore managed changelog would be great.
Today we unpublished hundreds of apps from the App Store. They came from a small group of high-volume submitters and had no merchant installs. The App Store exists to solve real problems for merchants. Mass submissions distract from the partners who are doing that work. We’ll soon be announcing new restrictions that limit the number of apps that can be submitted at once and we’ll keep raising the bar.

Farza is going places with Clicky!
Today, we're shipping real-time graphics. Using Sol 6.1 Ultrafast we can generate custom overlays, diagrams, and even interactive 3D scenes right on a user's screen, no chat. It's a new visual interface for AI. Here's me learning about LLMs + hardware. Demo:

With this recover-access; one benefit of the expiring tokens is that I can delete API-created webhooks by @gadget_dev.

One app we migrated from Gadget, had shop/update webhook installed via API; those stores have stopped using the app and we lost the tokens during the migration. Finally, we are going to have 0% webhook failures.

I solved the @Shopify Sidekick placement, so it won't bother you anymore. Alfred now lets you: → move it into the sidebar → or hide it completely Hide it and watch closely fir easter eggs, 👀 Get it for Chrome: alfredext.com

Atleast Sidekick will go away in style...
Turns out everyone except the @Shopify insiders hate this new Sidekick, in the face, placement. I am cooking a solution into Alfred. Sneak peak...

. @ShopifyDevs Dashboard shows your app's merchant contact info as plain text. New in Alfred: - Clickable email and phone - One-click WhatsApp chat open - Copy buttons for email, phone and URL - Country code auto-added when missing Install on Chrome: alfredext.com/

Someone tell this idiot how to use BCC and how to do cold emailing. I have been getting auto replies from support centers all day.

Working on something new for Alfred 👀 your new tab becomes a live feed of Shopify's platform + @ShopifyDevs changelogs, with Shopify status etc. almost ready. what else should it pull in? videos, newsletters, @Shopify blogs?

Ops. @Shopify is 🤏 close to killing the "persistent cart" app category.

Maintaining a browser extension that modifies a website is very demanding. One DOM change and you get to square one again. @Shopify's new dashboard revamp broke alfredext.com's features: 1. Theme shortcut buttons 2. Admin sidebar toggle 3. Dev Dashboard theme switcher

. @Shopify just became @Lovable for ecommerce. Canvas puts every page of your store on one board, rendered from your real theme. Click anything or ask Sidekick, and it makes the change. My takes as a Shopify dev:

App devs, get ready for support tickets. Canvas doesn't support theme app extensions yet. A merchant redesigns, your app block disappears, and the 1-star review lands on you, not on Canvas.

3. Handoff just got riskier. Agencies deliver a polished store, and a month later the merchant has "improved" it with a few prompts.
