News & Articles

Funding my son's college with a Shopify app
I had always wanted to build a small project that actually generated revenue. I knew I could either spend my off time playing a ton of videos games, or I could focus and actually ship something. Before this I didn’t have constraints, I just had irregular free time without a real goal. I would fail to build the MVP (bad), or fail to find a market (worse). Either way it was hours wasted.
How we have developed ORBE in 2 months
Why ORBE? Because merchants need the best technology so as to carry out their internationalisation. ORBE is an app which allows you to geolocalise the client in your shop (even if the client accesses the store with a VPN), and to offer them the best experience with a non-intrusive modal window, totally personalisable and compatible with Shopify Markets.
Animate On Scroll - Shopify Coding Tutorial
Today we will be adding animations to our website that activate when the user scrolls. Animations can help make your website look more unique!
10 Tips - Preview the Mac app people forget about
Preview is that stand-alone program that comes with all Macs and one you probably don't pay too much attention to. That's understandable, it often feels just part of the operating system and not an application in its own right, but it is, and other than being a great viewing application for photos and PDFs, it comes with some nifty tools that I find myself using all the time.
Are memberships the new loyalty program?
According to a recent McKinsey study, members of paid loyalty programs are 60% more likely to spend more on the brand after subscribing. If your client is looking for a way to boost high margin revenue and create a VIP class of customers, check out Conjured Memberships. Built by devs, for devs.

Demystifying Database Performance for Developers
For many developers, databases are basically magic. Like Penn & Teller, this blog post is set to break the illusion. Databases are just like any other code, they have algorithms and processes. These algorithms and processes are meant to improve performance, but can cause limitations if they are not expected.
Best practices for building Shopify apps
To optimize your app development experience, Shopify has established a set of best practices that you can refer to when developing your app.
Automagically reverse-engineer REST APIs via capturing traffic
mitmproxy2swagger is a tool for automatically converting mitmproxy captures to OpenAPI 3.0 specifications. This means that you can automatically reverse-engineer REST APIs by just running the apps and capturing the traffic.
