amoopa··on Shopify's developer focus is nothing but marketing spin
I have been building with Shopify before. They have a great product for small merchants and people just getting started - but as soon as you scale and want more customization, that is where you meet the blocker.

amoopa··on Ask HN: Why is the wait for the new iPhone or gadget not as rousing as before?
Well. Innovation has slowed down so feels quite natural that there are less “new features” to be waiting for
amoopa··on The next step in ecommerce – replatform with APIs and micro front ends
As someone who works in the commerce space day-to-day, the trend is interesting and definitely something you will hear a lot of ecommerce managers and businesses discuss.

Aside from the frontend flexibility, one major advantage of building API-first in an ecommerce context is that it can allow different parts of the system to be developed and maintained independently. This can make it easier to update and extend individual components without affecting the overall system - which is often a headache with current systems such as Shopify, Magento etc.

IMO, One of the most interesting nuances in the space is the focus shift between OS and closed-source solutions in this space. The problem for larger companies (+$50M) is that they seek to build something their tech teams can take full ownership of and easily inject custom logic into. This is not as easy with proprietary solutions even if they are headless and API-first. Instead these businesses end up looking into either building something fully custom or seek out open source solutions like Medusa (JS/TS), Sylius (PHP) or Spree (Ruby) to use as a foundation to build a custom setup from.

In general though, the headless / API-first trend definitely seem to be something that a lot of companies are exploring at the moment.

amoopa··on The next step in ecommerce – replatform with APIs and micro front ends
Medusa (mentioned above) is one of the most notable in the OS space.

Of proprietary solutions Commercetools & Fabric are often mentioned among larger commerce businesses.

amoopa··on Ask HN: Which books have made you a better thinker and problem solver?
Barbara Minto: The Pyramide principle.

The book is basically a bible among top tier management consulting firms as it has some fantastic principles for breaking down complex problems and communicating it to others (e.g. MECE; Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive)

amoopa··on AI Art Panic
So much potential in this category and yet so much hate. Yea, elements need to be sorted out around IP and similar, but the potential this offers over time for artists is massive.
amoopa··on Business Plot
The stories never heard. Love these.
amoopa··on Show HN: The Newbies Guide to Crypto – a notion style e-book built with nextJS
Great with these types of learning materials. Seems like the general public still has a lot to learn here.
