How. Many. Times. Do I have to say this???
Here's a quick visual tip to improve borders in your interfaces: use opacity instead of a solid color, and default to outside borders. Solid strokes look great on neutral backgrounds, but appear muddy or blurry if used on top of colors.

There are so many more updates I could mention: - Sidekick can now generate custom apps for whatever you need - Sidekick can now create automations with Flow - Sidekick got way smarter at editing online stores (trust me, you should give this a try) - Sidekick is now directly

4. Dynamic nav on mobile. This new navigation bar enables merchants to have Sidekick control their entire app, just with their voice. This work really helps us further integrate Sidekick, deeply into our merchant's existing workflow. Shout-out to @McKayLankau for pushing for

3. Todo lists. Just like the best assistants in the real world, Sidekick can now tackle more complex problems by creating todo lists. Really excited to see this feature exponentially expand what is possible to do with AI in Shopify. @imakestuff_me really sweat the details on

2. The new Sidekick input. Chat inputs are this generation's ultimate UI playground. They look deceptively simple, but supporting an ever growing amount of features, and scaling to a multitude of use-cases is way harder than it look. Shout-out to @colderoshay and @McKayLankau

Wanted to share a few of my favorite design details from our AI launches today at @Shopify. 1. Sidekick Pulse. For the first time, Sidekick proactively analyzes your store to find ways to take it to the next level. Many of the insights it found in our testing have been blowing

Every year, @pushmatrix and his team create an incredible experience for BFCM. And my favorite part of it each time, is the accompanying thread sharing how it all came together. Here's this year's tread:
Can you run WebGL shaders in realtime on Sphere? Turns out you can. @Shopify just did it for visualizing realtime sales in a whole new way.

I’d rather have this than a folding phone tbh
The smartphone just declared war on the camera industry Xiaomi just dropped a wild idea: a smartphone with a detachable pro-grade camera lens. A phone that snaps on a real lens with magnets. Yes, magnets. It’s a clever move at a strange moment in history. Camera sales keep

Great interview with our Chief Design Officer @postcarl. AI brings a tremendous opportunity to rethink all software, and design is at the center of it at Shopify.
That call where I thought @Tobi was firing me? We finally talked about it... Shopify’s internal podcast, Context, usually stays internal. But, this one hit differently—we unpacked @shop's origin story, *that* call, and how design defines every new era of technology. I loved the
