@Shopify We can't access the back-end admin, and can't even get in support chat. When I called, I just got a "we're looking into it - check the status page." How about at LEAST putting up an accurate message on the error page so potential customers don't leave & never come back?????

[Brandon Eley @beley]

Seriously @Shopify? Not only is the back-end down but our website is showing "This store does not exist" to our customers... not a good look. We pay almost $3k a month for Shopify Plus for this?!?!

@tailwindcss If you use and love Tailwind CSS as much as I do, then I highly recommend buying the book Refactoring UI, licensing Tailwind Plus, or joining the Insider program.

Refactoring UI is the best UI/UX resource I have ever read... I recommend it to colleagues ALL the time.

[Brandon Eley @beley]

If you use AI to build a website, you have undoubtedly used @tailwindcss. Revenues are down 80% and they have already had to lay off 75% of their staff. I already bought Refactoring UI and Tailwind Plus so I joined the Insiders program.

Is @OpenNameProject a scam? Purchased a domain name on July 14, paid with ETH. The domain still shows as "Registering" in their system, and the page refreshes every few seconds. They didn't respond to a DM & I can't find an email address. Not a lot of $ but I wanted the domain.😒

My flight home is delayed 3 1/2 hours and I was bumped from first class due to an equipment change. Now it’s LEAVING at 10pm, arriving after 1am. @Delta is so generous to give me a $12 meal voucher. I’m sure that will cover dinner at an airport restaurant. 🙄

@joerowett I'm sure most of your team are rockstars, but could you remind your sales team that sending unsolicited SMS marketing texts is illegal? Fines for violating the TCPA range from $500 to $1,500 per violation. And I'm not Gauge. Doesn't make me want to do business with @veloxmedia

@tobi Umm, "powered by BigCommerce" ... "launched" might be a strong word for becoming a reseller or white labeling someone else's solution.

Been fighting with two SFP+ 10G fiber modules for over a week. Just couldn't get them to work. Thought it was because one of the devices was an older switch (ES-48-750w) but also didn't work with a brand new 10G SFP+ PCI card. Just realized one of the transceivers is single-mode.

@Jason @TheDemocrats Romney is 77 years old and has already lost two bids for president. And Manchin is 76 years old. Why do we need to keep suggesting geriatrics to run for the highest public offices?

@stickermule Despite what happens in the upcoming election, I really hope this is a turning point for Trump and his followers to actually show they are, as your cofounder claims, "kind-hearted, compassionate people."

[Brandon Eley @beley]

@stickermule After hours of pressure, he finally told his supporters to go home without even condemning their actions and he even praised them. Time and time again, Trump has incited his base with anger and hatred. For the hate to really stop, it has to stop where it started...

@willroman This is (hopefully) a “once in a lifetime” kind of historic event. His secret service agents are probably freaking the F out right there. They don’t know if there are more shooters & are trying to get him to safety & he keeps getting up. He did it again getting into the vehicle.

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.

The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.

This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .

You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.

Going to have to learn some new tools.

Had fun talking to @bandholz about shifting from retailing to manufacturing and building @MEFootwear brand from the ground up. #ecommerce #dtc

Profit margins narrowed from reselling prominent shoe brands, prompted entrepreneur @beley to make a change. "2BigFeet Shifts to DTC." Via @bandholz. https://t.co/1atNK6j9OC #ecommerce

@Shpigford @flyosity You should share it on Thingiverse or Printables! These kinds of projects are w my I love having a 3D printer. Here is one I made not that long ago. It angles the sign like the parking space so it’s easier to see.

I don’t know when the Gmail mobile app added “Select All” but it made my day today! Got through so much more email on my short flight than I could have before. When did they finally add it?
