To restore Shopify CDN images after exporting and deleting all products, change the CDN URL so it's /deleted/products/ - the images will be re-created then

It looks like sending a GET request to /discount/clear/ will remove the active discount code for a Shopify basket

"Perhaps building an old-fashioned website that uses HTML for navigations feels too easy, like it’s beneath us. But building an “app” that requires JavaScript just to render text on a screen feels like real programming."
