Exploring new ideas

[Shashank Kumar @shashankkr9]

@Nithin0dha Quick feedback: The Zerodha process of converting a resident account to non-resident is so tedious and painful. That I am planning to close the account, instead of going through the process.

Would be great to have a seamless process.

There was a Shopify Partner Townhall after such a long time today… and it brought back memories.

Sharing a snippet from my first-ever Shopify event, ADWS Bangalore, 2017. I wrote to @vargabbakshi for a free ticket because I had no money for travel or the ticket.

Finally, we got there, and those two days were incredible. The talk @AtulPoharkar gave was a playbook for app building. The feedback I got on our newly launched app from @shashankkr9 , Vargab, and Atul was incredible. The way people came out to help, I knew I had found my community, and I decided: we're going all-in on Shopify.

From there to today… what a journey ❤️

Hearing Harley talk about bringing the community back genuinely felt special. And making https://t.co/fmGJwO9rN2 a 2-day event this year?! 👀

Super excited to see everyone IRL soon.

Also..... funny thing. At the event, I kept hearing about "X" so much that I started feeling left out 😅

Feels like the entire Shopify world has moved here. So here I am. First tweet ever. @liam_at_shopify, you've officially brought me here. You're responsible for making sure this is a fun place 😂

@pbteja1998 @saidheeraj_96 Take some time to sleep and rest in between :)

Wondering if all Shopify Apps and Agencies will just become a OpenClaw instance in future?

Back in the garage, building https://t.co/A72p2sg5yR - managed OpenClaw with a twist: pre-built skills.

First up: Shopify Skill - hire your 24/7 AI staff for orders, support, inventory & more. With sub-skills like managing emails, ads, seo.

Feedbacks welcome.

@jasmine_oxify We did the same. But one of the mistakes done was to completely let go off support. Realised keeping 10-20% bandwidth for support as a founder, kept us grounded and close to merchant’s evolving needs.

[Shashank Kumar @shashankkr9]

@levelsio Many unnamed Indie Shopify Apps have been built out of India. I built @pushowl, Indian company, registered in India, used by 50K+ e-commerce stores globally, and acquired by Brevo.

[Shashank Kumar @shashankkr9]

@jon_kennedy1 Quite tempted to build something offline. Btw Tri (BoostCommerce) has opened a beautiful bar in HCMC in case you every go there.

[Shashank Kumar @shashankkr9]

@mechellecarpio I am using Thule but also considered Osprey ones because they have great ergonomic reviews

[Shashank Kumar @shashankkr9]

@mukundjha @emergentlabs An App Store equivalent for Emergent with reviews/testimonials. Will be great to get the foundation of a high quality built apps. So it needs to be GitHub + Trust layer built in.

[Preetam Nath @hipreetam93]

Requesting the folks at Shopify to please step in and help figure things out.

We too have received the trademark notice. And the deadline to fix it is 6 days away.

Otherwise, our app will be delisted from the Shopify app store. Just like that. After 5 years of being on the app store and complying with every request or warning or mildly threatening email about fixing something "or else".

Quite a violent way to communicate, I feel. Like this is the best a multi billion corporation can do?

It does not make any sense @harleyf @ShopifyDevs since the app store is full of apps with "Facebook" and "Instagram" in their app titles and descriptions.

Meta is forcing "WhatsApp" named apps to remove the word because they have launched their own WhatsApp app for Shopify.

When a big guy flexes, we small people don't have any way out.

Except if another big guy ( looking at you @Shopify @tobi ) is there to stand-up and meditate and come up with a more peaceful and decent way to go about it.

[Shashank Kumar @shashankkr9]

@jon_kennedy1 @Shopify Fortunately @pushowl is still thriving and growing, supporting 2x the merchants since acquisition

@ayysoni I can see how your Nanobanana tokens have helped here ;)

[Shashank Kumar @shashankkr9]

@mechellecarpio @logbaseapps @ShopQuestHQ effect. So cool to see such partnerships happening across the world. App + Agencies = Merchant Win

[Kartik Luke Singh @0xfluke]

Just attended @shashankkr9's talk at #ShopQuest by @foxsellapp. Loved the idea of saving time on support tickets and using them to fuel your product development.

[Shashank Kumar @shashankkr9]

Launching “App Quest” for @ShopQuestHQ attendees tomorrow. Excited to show a preview on how Shopify App Devs can find new ideas and improve old ones.

Comment if you would like a preview as well

[Shashank Kumar @shashankkr9]

Was helping a Shopify merchant on support. Now we are friends. We exchanged notes and taught each other small things.

And since I am planning to move to Singapore, got offered to help on condo search as well.

Love these small @Shopify stories ♥️

[Shashank Kumar @shashankkr9]

@mukundjha @emergentlabs Super cool to see your journey emerge over time. Professionally and personally - it takes some grit.
To infinity and beyond 🚀
