@faridmovsumov Big help especially with the good old My Store. Someone should check that. They seem to give a good % of reviews 🤔🤣

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

@denniscessan Gladly! You got it! 🥂 Also hope the feedback you got is not a huge pain to implement.

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

@AlexHooper78640 I mean it creates a vicious cycle, extremely high expectations, extremely high frustration, less tolerance, less patience, less support interactions, less reviews, less ranking, less installs, less revenue, less ways to meet extremely high expectations.

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

Yes this seems plausible. I know how frustrated I get whenever I hit any blocker with AI and how quickly I ask for alternatives for automations.

Al also makes us less tolerant with other people because it understands our nonsense while people don’t always. And so they abandon things instead of reaching for support, even in simple cases.

@harleyf @chaptersindigo Though I see it only ships in Canada. ☹️ Any chance you’ll make it available worldwide @harleyf?

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

@harleyf @chaptersindigo I think this could really resonate with kids who don’t see themselves following a traditional well traced path. Getting one for my 6 yo. Thank you Harley!

@JamesMalsawm You might regret eating a hedgehog tho 😂. But I take your point about playing your own game.

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

Did not know about the fox and hedgehog founder dichotomy. Learned about it from a podcast.

Fox would be the one chasing new opportunities saying yes and getting all excited.

Hedgehog pricks up and says no a lot.

The person explained that the fox needs the hedgehog for things to work and it's very true in our case.

I'm the fox and Robert, my co-founder, the hedgehog.

What's funny is that the hedgehog is actually my favorite animal. It even goes so far as me writing a children's book for my daughter about hedgehogs. 🦔

It's one of those rare moments where life just make sense on a whole other level.

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

@denniscessan Since I look forward to meeting you one day at Dot Dev or another Shopify event how about we make it a bet and whoever loses buys the other one a drink? 🤝

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

Back with a vengeance! So it was just vacation mode after all.

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

First day of school for us today and my heart feels heavy. Guess I just want my kid to stay a kid just a little bit longer 😭

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

I hope this happens. Would be EPIC!

[tobi lutke @tobi]

@tokifyi maybe I should…

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

@kinngh One of my favorites. I gift a copy to each person that is customer facing on the team. Highly recommend it.

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

Maybe because they have the cash from the other business they can negotiate better prices with their providers and this only gets better with scale?

Also I imagine they will be entering multiple large categories in time (bundles or subscriptions would be something obvious) and if they cross sell they can make email a loss leader and make up for it in other areas.

For a long time I didn’t understand the 15/month for reviews and now it’s obvious it was a winner for them. Maybe this will be the same? 🤷‍♂️

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

@leafguy403 That’s tremendous congrats! And I hope you continue the journey and make it your lifestyle. Taking inspiration from you to try again myself. 💪

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

@danielpatricio @malisauskasLT @Nate_Google_ I’d also add the benefit of the developer’s experience seeing what drives value for many brands and creating an onboarding flow meant to get you to value asap. So you’re also saving time and not having to do the research.

[Andrei Pricop @andrei_monti]

@RapiHodler @mirvise @kes11av Good call could not help but make negative associations when seeing it.
