Shopify Ecosystem Notes
Working notes on building durable products inside a platform you don't control — wedges, guardrails, and the economics of app businesses.
A running collection of notes from years of building in and around the Shopify ecosystem: where the durable problems are, how to find a wedge inside someone else’s platform, what the platform will and won’t ever do for you, and the real economics of an app business once novelty wears off.
Less a polished essay than a field notebook — the kind of accumulated, specific knowledge that only comes from shipping inside a system and watching what survives.
