Building startups is hard โ huge shoutout to my founder therapy peeps who were always there to listen and give feedback
4th acquisition down and a huge opportunity ahead. I'm stoked โ let's start building ๐ฅณ๐
We started building Uptime only 1.5 years ago. Our goal was to give Shopify merchants peace of mind and this acquisition is going to help us 10X that mission faster than we ever couldโve hoped for. @richgilbank, @TaylorSicard, and I couldnโt be more excited about the future!
Iโve been following the journey of @awilkinson since my @TinyHeartsApps days. Through him and @robjama I became fascinated with the bootstrapped business way of life. Itโs truly a full-circle moment for me to be joining under the umbrella of such an amazing organization at Tiny.
More specifically weโll be joining the @pixelunion team โ a true OG in the Shopify theme space. Alongside their Theme Updater Shopify app, Uptime will join a growing constellation of store management apps that make it easier for merchants to grow and manage a Shopify online store
It's been 9 months since we launched @getuptimeapp on the Shopify app store ๐คฏ
To reflect on this time we put together a 2022 year in review to showcase some of the most interesting and surprising Uptime stats ๐ฅณ ๐งต

That's just a small sample of some of the stats in our Uptime 2022 year in review. Make sure to check out the post for more interesting deets!

Merchants uploaded over 1,000 automated QA test flows which ran 187K times!
That means we saved merchants 3K hours worth of manually testing their stores โย in that time you could watch the entire Game of Thrones series 42 times ๐คฏ
