However, I do believe in what I am building and I am still really excited about it so I will continue to #buildinpublic and share the progress of my Shopify App Development journey. Stay tuned tor updates on my app โFlash Promosโ! @ShopifyDevs@Shopify
Built a lot of the data logic, parsing, mapping, and all the actions from and to the database. I am behind schedule though, hopefully, if I can quickly test all the APIs I might still make it for the challenge๐ช
End of week 5 of my @Shopify#appchallenge#buildinpublic. Most of the UI is done except for a couple of small things, which I will ultimate in the next few days. The focus for next week is APIs, getting the real data, basically the "core" of the app.๐
Quite happy about this week, managed to finish the designs and prototypes, set up database tables, and all the connections for active shops and custom sessions.
Last week I spent more than I expected testing the Bulk API, so I started my wireframe late. I aim to finish this by mid-week and jump into connecting the DB and writing all the queries and mutations.
Week 4: I have so far set up the project for development and production, tested all the APIs, defined all the features, divided them into v1 and v2 to focus on the MVP for BFCM.
By now you have finalized your idea, and investigated the tools available, this week its time to get building! Share with us with us how you are dividing and conquering all the features that need to be built!
Defining features thoroughly with a detailed description and a rough estimate to complete them helps me prioritizing and reducing dev time, not to mention that writing code with detailed instruction is far more enjoyable ๐
Slightly behind schedule, I couldn't finish the design this week as I was a bit stuck with the bulk ops API and I wanted to test all the APIs right away.
Anyway, I got it done and managed to start designing and prototyping the first page.
Are there some example of deployment workflows for Shopify apps not on Heroku? Since Heroku is yet the only option using the CLI, I am curious to see how to setup a CI/CD using services like AWS or Digital Ocean etc. with Shopify apps. #buildinpublic#appchallenge
Shopify App Challenge - Week 02. I already played around with the CLI before, so I have planned for this week to work on defining all the features and deciding which ones are going to be in the MVP + testing all the APIs I will need. Happy building! #buildinpublic#appchallenge
#AppChallenge#BuildInPublic Week 1: It's been quite an explorative week, I talked to merchants, checked apps on the App Store, and played with different extensions to get inspiration.
Eventually, I think I will build an app to easily manage and schedule sales/promotions...๐
Been vetting a few ideas, I think I got it. I'll build an app to reorder, rename, and conditionally display payments/shipping methods based on custom rules in the checkout using the new Scripts and a nice UI to do so. #AppChallenge#BuildInPublic@ShopifyDevs What do you think?
