A order on @SaltandSundry just tipped Shopify over the 1 trillion(!) in cumulative GMV. Monumental milestone for us. A beautiful small business run by Amanda McClemens in DC. Couldn't have been a better example of what makes Shopify special: shopsaltandsundry.com/pages/…

All of these UNBELIEVABLE videos were created using Sora, the new AI model from OpenAI Watch each one and see how it makes you feel... I don't think it's crazy for me to say this going to shift Hollywood, social apps and media forever Video #1 Prompt: The camera directly faces colorful buildings in burano italy. An adorable dalmation looks through a window on a building on the ground floor. Many people are walking and cycling along the canal streets in front of the buildings. My take: This dog looks freakishly real. I want to pet him.

i'm blown away by how creative websites from the 90s were, despite the constraints. with slower internet speeds, websites needed to be more efficient, prioritizing function over style. but yet, they still managed to be useful and have flair. i've curated 15 of my favorites👇🧵
