My gym has started using new software and accompanying app for memberships/classses/etc and I'm almost offended that companies can sell software with a UI/UX that bad.

A big group of executives in suits from the gym head office came in for a tour of the facilities and just stood there talking while looking at me.
I'm introducing a new feature to my twitter feed called "things that have happened to Jamie in the Sauna".
Our big Shopify app update involved moving most of the frontend over to React. Something we have noticed is that our LCP score has gone crazy. In fact it's outside of the "good" threshold. Why has this happened? What can we do?...
Well. We think it's because the initial dashboard page is now in React so requires the entire app JS file to download which is several MBs.
Once a merchant has done this once then it's cached and should be instant.
Seriously, if you're in D2C and preparing from BFCM, just listen to this episode of Limited Supply from @mrsharma and @moizali. It's all absolute gold.

Built for Shopify app update...
So they've come back with a relatively short and actionable list, which is great. But there's just one requirement which is just silly:
"There is an App Store Requirement that app names cannot be a generic description of your app's functionality."
Here's some example names of other apps that are certified built for shopify:
Checkout Blocks — Upsells, etc (@gilgNYC 😉)
Bundler - Product Bundles
Essential Countdown Timer Bar
QR Code Generator Hub
Order Automator
Event Ticketing
And there's many more!
So why does "Auto Schedule" fail this requirement but all of the above do not? Super frustrating!

Updates to our Shopify app have now been deployed and tested 😁
More functionality is coming soon.
Here it is on the app store:

Probably need to update the listing tbh. The imagary is looking especially rubbish.
Hi there, been a while 👋
Today we're deploying the biggest update to our Shopify app for some time.
Tons of code rewritten in react all with the aim of improving performance and becoming "built for Shopify" certified.
Wish me luck 🙏
Why the flip wasn't Lou Carpenter in the last ever episode of #Neighbours ?
Hello @AldiUK . Why on earth are you still selling this air purifier when it is IMPOSSIBLE to buy replacement filters ANYWHERE meaning it's only useful for 6 months max?

Thanks for selling me a completely useless product that will end up in landfill.
Does anyone know of a petrol station in #Poole or #Bournemouth that definitely has diesel?
I've so far avoided filling up since the start of this seemingly self inflicted crisis so I don't add to the problem.
But now I've only got 50 miles left in my tank.
Last night I genuinely had a dream in which I finally found the lid for this @Shopify pen.
I've never been more gutted to wake up and realise it was just a dream.
