Issue 248 of Liquid Weekly is out, and most of it is about the business of running a Shopify app.
Mat De Sousa published his monthly App Store scan for August. More than 27,000 apps listed, 6% carrying the Built for Shopify badge.
Alexander Hupfer joined us on the podcast to talk about app analytics, specifically churn, LTV, and MRR, and which of those tell you something useful when you're running an app business.
Plus much more!
I hope you learn something new!

Customers are starting to shop like this:
"hoodie for walking around SF on a windy summer day"
An AI agent answers that by building a comparison table.
It can only compare facts someone actually wrote down.
@kgelster 's fix: give Shopify Catalog a product metafield written for an LLM instead of a human.

This week's issue is a special one - our FIVE YEAR anniversary.
Who could believe that this little experiment to scratch my own itch for a regular source of Shopify development related news and content would go on for half a decade!
That's 245 issues and 2,969 links.
To celebrate I decided to do something different with this issue and analyze how the Shopify development landscape has changed during that time.

I'm trying something new in the newsletter this week.
As we close in on five years of weekly issues later this summer I felt it important to take a step back and assess how I'm doing at meeting my goals of provide a consistent trusted source for keeping up with Shopify development and celebrating the community by surfacing content created by developers
So much has changed in our industry these last few years I'm curious to learn more about the challenges developers are facing today and how that might shape the content we share.
Whether you are a regular subscriber or just passing through I'd really appreciate it if you'd take 4 mins to help us all understand the landscape.
