I design with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Standards and Performance in Mind, taking pride in my work.

Because of Claude Farbe, web design will be incredible annoying for a period

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

@TRPage_dev This may not be on Shopify agenda. Even the Shopify AI generated theme blocks don't look at the theme CSS, nothing reused or consistent. Too bad, this could be a crossroad with paths to eighter conventions or chaos

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

With so many Shopify AI shop builders emerging it would be great to have a form of code standardization. These AI stores need to be also extendable and interoperable with apps. #shopify #shopifydevs

@harleyf @v0 @Replit @ManusAI @Shopify I wonder what is the generated code. It would be great to use Horizon components and conventions. This would give merchants incredible design freedom and still be dev friendly and app interoperable.

@patrickbo11e All modals should open only by user driven actions. You can have them, but the user need to open them. And this makes sense, everyone hates popups.

Deployed a Shopify app block with 27 interactive settings. I know the limit is 25. Was this limit bumped recently? @ShopifyDevs #shopify

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

@patrickbo11e Agreed. I have the same issue. Makes things much complicated and unintuitive as it was before. Doesn't makes sense for me

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

It's quite nice and pain-free when connecting a GoDaddy domain to a Shopify store. One click and Shopify sets up the correct DNS on my GoDaddy account.

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

The new Shopify Dev dashboard is confusing to me. Sending a simple colaborator access request and logging into a store is painful. Is it just me?

Any news on Shopify Summer Edition? #shopifydevs

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

I like the {% javascript %} Shopify tag as it allows keeping all in one file. I wish it would allow an option to output the script as a module. This way, we could use imports. Any workarounds? #Shopify #ShopifyDevs

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

We can use Shopify app block deep links to enable an app but, is there a similar thing to direct people to an already installed block app in the Theme Editor? #Shopify #ShopifyDevelopers

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

@mxstbr @Curzey1 Happy to hear that! Looking forward seeing it. Let me know if you need any early adopters or testers.

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

Looks like the Shopify {% stylesheet %} tag will bundle CSS even for sections that are not enabled on the store. That's a bummer for performance. Am I missing anything here? #ShopifyDevelopers

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

@Curzey1 From my tests, everything bundles. That includes sections not loaded. This would only make sense for the Sections Rendering API but falls short for the rest.

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

@ShopifyDevs @judgeme Wouldn't be better to have this customization directly in the theme editor? It's complex, but an app block arhitecture, like theme blocks, would make things better for both merchants and app vendors.

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

@celispj Declarative metas only help devs to eliminate the boilerplate of creating definitions on app install. It's a good thing. You still need a DB to hold the access token. In this current setup, Shopify apps still need a DB. I would love not to.

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

@wtravishubbard Define a non self-though in this day and age.

[Mircea Piturca @mirceadesign]

I'm retweeting this because I like my job.

[Dmitrii Kovanikov @ChShersh]

People who think that AI will replace developers severely underestimate the complexity of the real world
