These are my experiences in life and the past 2 decades of software development.

Out with the old, in with the new

by Sean Kerr

AppTrends had a great run, but like many great things, it was time to move on. I started AppTrends in 2017 as a private Shopify app. At the time all “private app” meant was that I couldn’t offer my app in the Shopify app store.

Shopify’s demands changed over time until eventually they deprecated private apps in favor of their custom app offering. This gave me the opportunity to fix any shortcomings by developing a new platform with proper Shopify support. Today marks the completion of our user migration to CartHero. There are a few remaining customers who ignored the flurry of notifications about migrating, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
