Shopify's Summer ’25 Edition: Horizons

Amazing new theme, MCPs for everything, and so much more, some of my favorite updates in 🧵

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

1) The clean energy tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act support wind generation.

2) No tax credits = less wind infrastructure.

3) Without wind power, the electricity will be replaced with more expensive (and dirtier!) sources.

I’m sickened and worried that Elon Musk has gained access to the Treasury department’s payment system. He could be one click away from interfering with how US taxpayer money flows. @RepMMM @ChuckGrassley @SenJoniErnst please take action 🙏

Soooooo proud of my incredible team. ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SEVEN bonkers AI videos. And a lot of other delicious details to discover across boring and "not boring."

I've never laughed so much through the making of a website. Building for the web in 2024 is so. much. fun.

Shopify: The Boring Edition.

We focused on the hard and unsexy work of nailing the basics, getting all the parts of Shopify to work seamlessly together, and run at tip top performance. You've got to sweat the details.

🛠️ Point cloud flowers in WebGL using @threejs,
@greensock, and @barba_js.

3D is made from a photogrammetry model, optimized in blender, exported as json and then animated with Gsap.

Toughest challenges? Avoiding GPU reloads and positioning objects in the scene 😅

[Eric Johnson @ericdjohnson]

I'm humbled and awed to be listed here! Thank you @GSAP! And thank you for making the tools that make awesomeness possible!
