Spot on. People don’t question this since it’s “industry standard” but they should. It barely helps the customers and hurts your profit at scale. A defined sale within a small window on certain products can be far more effective

[Alex Jost @lxjost]

That friendly 10% welcome coupon? It often means you need around 30% more orders just to earn the same profit. How many brands even check that math?

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

@precisionfandh about to place my first order and thought most products were OOS because of the grey color of the pills that aren’t selected. I think if you make the text color black it would fix it

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

What will it take for @Garmin or @Strava to add insights like this at the stat level? The in app LLMs just never do it for me

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

I asked @cursor_ai for React Native tab navigation — it wrote hundreds of lines and tried to compile with an unreleased iOS SDK. Problem is I love it, so now waiting for Xcode 16 to be public before I can build it on my iPhone 17 again

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

Added a trendy gradient background to the header so the status bar is filled on iOS. Going to try to incorporate the actual logo on the left instead of the emoji next

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

🎉 finished the deep linking feature. You can now add a product to Hangfire directly from the browser. the app handles adding all of the product data for you, just confirm and hit save. Only downside is now I have iOS specific code to manage so it’s annoying to work around in Expo now

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

Got the native share sheet partially working tonight for Hangfire. Trying to make it so you can share directly into the app and all of the item details are prefilled. First step of getting the app to populate here ✅

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

Tried @Nike ai. Feels more like using a mega menu than talking to ChatGPT. Wish it tried to collect meaningful data before making a rec. That being said: these Kipchoges 🇰🇪 🔥

@brady_h Feels like there’s a larger anti-headphones movement picking up speed right now, even for workouts

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

I don’t know why, but I needed this

[Guillermo Rauch @rauchg]

This marvel is built in TypeGPU, a TypeScript WebGPU library [1/2]

Among other coolness, it features a "𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚐𝚙𝚞" directive that compiles JS to WSGL, to run on the GPU:

𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚝 𝚊𝚍𝚍 = (𝚊, 𝚋) => {
"𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚐𝚙𝚞";
𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚗 𝚊 + 𝚋;
}

@fnthawar Gemini is the way to go right now. It’s amazing how far it’s come in the last 6 months

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

@tobi touched on this in a recent pod with @collision -saying he sees Shopify as an anti-waste company rather than promoting the sales of things we don’t need. We need more tools to support intentional purchases. Product research, financial implication, global purchase history

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

I’m working on vibecoding a @reactnative app using @cursor_ai as my developer and @claudeai as my tech lead. It’s a wishlist app where you can track your intent over time with daily points

Might build a quick save from @Shopify integration next

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

The modern tools are trying to make this harder, not easier. Amazon purchase history is buried in your account and bundled by them based on their own fulfillment logic. It’s hard to link a single transaction to single item you bought

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

I love the @RocketMoneyApp - but this splash page every day I open the app is insane. Is there no way to turn this off? I pay for Premium 😭

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

I need to know the exact day that @PatrickMahomes bought his second home and could start saying “Mahomes” in a sentence #NFL #ChiefsKingdom

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

@ArlanWasHere @theryanking what is going on here? Feel like I’m setup for failure

[Palmer Simpson @palmer_simpson_]

Hey @Fabletics - is this early access to Black Friday 2022? Got this ad today
