@malisauskasLT Unfortunately still feels like things are just getting worse lately. Hopeing @liam_at_shopify and the team will improve soon as the app store is not on the right path
Simple apps for personal use or frontend related tasks might be easier to replace.
Apps with real complexity (deliverability, advanced logic, etc.) aren’t going away anytime soon.
Also, it will take at least a few more years for most people to fully utilize AI. Currently, many people just chat with it and ask questions that Google could have answered. This is especially true for millennials and older generations.
@iamshaanarora@heymantle Going to be a lot of work to migrate all of the data, workflows and affiliates to a new place.
Are there any other affiliate tools for Shopify other than mantle and Shoffi?
What other replacments to Mantle are there?
When your business mistakes feel huge, remember this video👇
Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin team just watched a massive rocket explode during a launch pad test.
Before it ever reached space.
•Years of work.
•Hundreds of millions invested.
•Gone in seconds.
And yet… they’ll still get to space 🔭
Just later than planned.
Big goals come with risk, setbacks, and very expensive lessons.
The people who eventually win are usually the ones willing to keep going after everything blows up.
A good network is the biggest strength 🤝
In life, but especially in business.
Whenever I forget this lesson,
life finds a way to remind me.
Invest more in your network.
