patrickbolle··on Show HN: I built an open source event-management system
Isn't this exactly what he explained? The user has a easy toggle on their dashboard to rotate credentials - and if he needs a hand with it, contact their support for some help.
patrickbolle··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (May 2018)
SEEKING WORK - Remote / Singapore / Bali / Costa Rica / anywhere nice (give me a good enough reason to travel and I'll be there!)

I'm a Shopify Expert from Waterloo, Canada (https://experts.shopify.com/patrick-bollenbach).

This means I...

- Build and setup e-commerce stores on Shopify

- Do in-depth theme customization jobs

- Develop private Shopify applications for features not natively supported by the platform

I do a lot of work for startup companies in Asia/Australia, but am currently looking to do some more work for agencies in North America that are looking to get into the e-commerce game, or that have some overflow Shopify work.

Send me an email, we can chat and figure out if I can help you out.

patrickbolle··on Scuttlebutt, a Decentralized Alternative to Facebook
I really love the concept of this. I travel a ton and am without internet for days/ weeks at a time. Scuttlebutt allows me to keep up to date with friends and communities while offline and when I do eventually get online, just grab the newest updates and download them locally.

This is such a cool thing in my eyes for parts of the world with little / no internet access. The creator of the project (AFAIK) sails around the world and, again, has little internet access. this allows him to keep people updated when he eventually does find internet.

patrickbolle··on To opt out of Facebook’s tracking, I’m going to have to join Facebook
"unusable" is a very extreme word for this.
patrickbolle··on Ask HN: If you are a freelancer, which are your three biggest problems?
even when you had a written contract in place? I haven't had a single issue with payments yet thanks to my contract
patrickbolle··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (April 2018)
SEEKING WORK - Remote (preferably, if you work in a fun place I'd be keen to check it out!)

I'm a Shopify Expert (https://experts.shopify.com/patrick-bollenbach) specializing in Shopify store setups, in-depth theme customization, and private Shopify applications. I know Shopify like the back of my hand and have been building client stores for the past 3 years exclusively on Shopify.

More than happy to help out with one-off projects, but ideally I'm looking to work with an agency that has some overflow Shopify work, or are looking to get into the e-commerce space for their clients.

Cheers!

patrickbolle··on An NPM package to check if a number is equal to 13
But is it numberwang?

Maybe my weekend project will be a numberwang NPM package.

patrickbolle··on Facebook Container Extension: Take control of how you’re being tracked
This literally does all of the work for you. You just click "install" and then you don't need to worry about 'containing different personas online' at all. It's ridiculously easy.
patrickbolle··on What is Mastodon? [video]
I like the video. I also really like Mastodon. I've completely ditched Twitter and all my needs are satisfied with mastodon (granted, I don't follow sports / friends on Twitter). The interface is sweet and my instance is great.
patrickbolle··on Ask HN: What is the best process to learn a new language?
Wonderful! Appreciate the resources and will for sure check out the music :) thanks!
patrickbolle··on Ask HN: What is the best process to learn a new language?

I think you are making a TON of assumptions here.
patrickbolle··on Firefox Configuration Guide for Privacy Freaks and Performance Buffs
This sounds 100% like an ad just FYI
patrickbolle··on Show HN: Decentralized application starter with Vue, Ethereum and IPFS
I understand this, but good lord people need to stop bringing this up in every damn thread that mentions Ethereum. We all know about the DAO and what happened afterwards.
patrickbolle··on Fiverr acquires AND CO, maker of software for freelancers
* and makes it free.

Anyone use AND CO? I use Wave Accounting for my freelance stuff now, it's good and all my client's are used to it - but AND CO has some fancy features and I like the Proposal / Contract side of it (been missing that since Bonsai went paid).

Interested to hear thoughts.

patrickbolle··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (January 2018)
SEEKING WORK - Waterloo, Canada / Bali, Indonesia / Dominical, Costa Rica / PREFERABLY REMOTE.

- Mainly Shopify development. Store setups, theme customization, app development too.

- Full stack JS web apps (Vue, Express, Postgres)

- I will travel anywhere if you give me a half decent reason to go there (preferably somewhere with good surf)

I am starting a small agency (https://www.thousandsdigital.com) specializing in Shopify setups / dev. It is going okay, but I would love a part time gig on the side to help with paying the bills and to help me stay in the loop in the web dev world. I love to learn.

Email : patrick(at)bolle(dot)co

Cheers all!

patrickbolle··on Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (December 2017)
SEEKING WORK Waterloo, Ontario / Remote but love to travel and would love an excuse to see a new city/country!

I'm a solo Shopify Expert web developer. I specialize in store setups and general theme customization. I know Shopify like the back of my hand and can offer some great advice for new e-commerce businesses.

I do a bit of Shopify app development on the side (public/private) - if you have any ideas for a Shopify app I'd love to chat and see if we can partner up on something.

patrickbolle··on Ask HN: What music do you listen to when programming?(or do you not?)
Mostly Brian Eno + Celer on repeat :)
patrickbolle··on Sunsetting Nylas Mail Development
Interesting. I used N1 for a while a really enjoyed it, but the Electron apps were killing my laptop so I ditched it. Super interested in the Mailspring fork :)
patrickbolle··on Ask HN: Have you successfully moved away from Google search?
I'm using Startpage since about 1.5 months ago. A tad slower but I like it and it gives me good results.
patrickbolle··on A checklist of marketing ideas for side projects
Thank you!! Launched a few weeks ago but still very useful.
patrickbolle··on If SoundCloud Disappears, What Happens to Its Music Culture?
Haven't heard of this yet, really cool. Seems like a good team too. For sure going to keep my eye on this.
patrickbolle··on Postage – A fast replacement for pgAdmin
Thanks for this, PGAdmin is painfully slow and clunky for me. Will give this a shot tomorrow morning!
patrickbolle··on Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?
Love the idea of this. I've never done affiliate links or anything before but I'm getting ready to launch a site that has some affiliate links sprinkled in here and there.

Will for sure give this a shot.

patrickbolle··on Show HN: Decaffeinate converts CoffeeScript projects to modern JS
Oh how the tables have turned
patrickbolle··on Uber Posts $708M Loss as Finance Head Leaves
Uber is great, but I've relocated to Bali and the competitors here are doing such a fantastic job at giving me reasons not to use Uber.

Go-jek is cheaper, you can pay with cash, and they offer like 15 other services like... go-food, go-massage, go-cleaning, etc.

It's incredible.

patrickbolle··on Kik Messenger App Debuts Own Digital Currency Amid Bitcoin Boom
HN threads on anything related to Ethereum (not Bitcoin) seem to really stir up a lot of junk and hate comments. So weird.

I'm just a web dev that thinks Ethereum is really cool technology (and have made some great money from ETH), but there are a lot of naysayers here.

patrickbolle··on Ask HN: What's your working day like?
Wow, never seen/heard of that movie. Really cool!!
patrickbolle··on Ask HN: What's your working day like?
Seriously, been reading your blog this afternoon and love it man. Maybe I'll stop by in Africa next year! Hah.

I 100% agree.

Maybe I just wasn't built for the tech field, but something about sitting on the computer all day feels wrong.

patrickbolle··on Ask HN: What's your working day like?
That's what I've been considering for sure. I'll (hopefully) always have web dev as a fallback to make some extra cash on the side if something falls through.

Thanks.
