What's a big pet pieve of yours? Mine is optimizing the audio of a rental car as soon as I connect my phone. I'm NOT about to drive for hours with bad sounding audio.

Today on the notification I did not expect to get... A @YouTube recap?

I did some meal prep today and boy... I'm already looking forward to my lunches this week 🤤

Wedding photographers....

TURN OFF THE DAMN AUTOFOCUS SOUND ON YOUR CAMERA DURING THE SERVICE IN CHURCH...

I've busted my ass SO HARD the last ±10 days to get to the point where I'm launching my app in Beta with a selected company.

I'll be busy the next couple of days. But if you're interested (it's about omni-channel gifting), let me know! I'd love to give a demo.

(rolling out EU first)

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BUGS POPPING UP RIGHT BEFORE LAUNCH?!!??!?!?!??!

Anyone tips on creating PDF files server side in a Nextjs app?

I should really put more time into video and image content. I noticed image content is doing so much better on socials and I can only imagine that video must be doing better too...

I need to get over that "shit my content will probably not be good enough" state...

As a fan of everything Shopify "Native" this update is absolutely brilliant especially for countries where they have multiple languages or brands who have expanded their markets!

Ho-ly shit...

Just found a website that needs Flash to play a video!!!!!

What is something you definitely "forgot" while building? For me it's the fact that I have to support invoice downloads with tax details...

Implemented the second half of making my app more secure today. I must admit, it was definitly a beginners mistake...

But hey, the beauty of learning is allowing yourself to make mistakes.

DAMN do I love building Shopify stores!

I've been breaking my head over how to optimize some part of my app.

Turns out, I discovered a security flaw I didn't even think of before while doing this! Boy will I be rewriting some things tomorrow 😂

Oké... This is MASSIVE news for EU Merchants!

Shopify Collective is now slowly rolling out for merchants in Europe (tested on NL stores).

I'm setting up a Shopify Collective link as we speak.

Let me know what you'd like to know!

Everyone using Shopify Analytics a lot, this new update is amazing!

You can now create the dashboard you want.

Slowly I am getting the whole idea of how to use a monorepo. But to be honest, I think for now for the beta I will just keep the monolith version of the app and maybe upgrade to the monorepo structure with a bunch of new features when the app is about to publicly launch.

The amount of apps I can have running on this with Coolify is INSANE. Its the perfect way to test and have some internal apps running.

Smart people, I have a question. How do you handle local dev with subdomains for certain parts of your apps? Like user.yourdomain(.) com but also still having yourdomain(.) com available.

Working with nextjs here.

I just deployed my first Monorepo test!

All apps seem to work properly 🥳

Now I know what to do to port my current app over to a monorepo and get better performance and MUCH better functionality.

I am late to the party, but my app is becoming quite the size and I have started to slowly implement JSDocs everywhere and boy... Thats nice!

I upgraded to the new stable Nextjs this weekend, but can it be that this version pharses CSS slightly different?

What should you use AI for? In my opinion it should be used to help you learn new stuff or do timestakingly annoying dumb stuff like creating a LOT of pages and routes. I just let AI create some basic "Help page" structure based on the project context.

It's so funny that when I see "hot takes" from people comparing MacOS and Windows or iOS and Android you can soooo clearly see that the poster and the people commenting have only used the other platform maybe 10 minutes in their life 😂😂😂

Lol, I'm getting an advertisement from Switzerland 🇨🇭 telling me how awesome the country is and that I should definitely go visit...

Guy's, I KNOW!! I really need to go back soon!!

It's truly unfair how the last episode of the new season of 'The Bear' ends...

I need a new season.... YESTERDAY

Data structures make my head spin and hurt...

Literally restless nights because I don't want to make mistakes.

I have a confession to make 😔

Last couple of days I've been using AI WAY more than I would have liked. I made a shit ton of progress which is good, but not for learning experience. It's only been good for learning prompting. I might just go back to disable AI completion for a while soon.

I just had THE BIGGEST scare! I thoughy my A and D key on my Mac where not working anymore. Turns out I forgot that I had a hotkey fixed to those letters and I didn't realize they would prevent me from writing something in a form.

Things I got done this weekend...

1. Dashboard with actual data and actions
2. Requests: auto check, status & track and trace + filter
3. Optimised promotion overview
4. Claim with auto check based on serial number
5. Product & serial upload + auto check
6. Claim status page
