Aren't you afraid that if tomorrow Shopify releases their own version of your plugin directly baked into their tool, you could lose a lot of customers over night?
The reason I say this, it's because as someone who has seen a lot of vendors changing and limiting APIs and access, or just releasing baked-in products - I have seen my fair share of companies having to pull a dangerous U-turn! Nevertheless, it looks like a cool product!
- Finbarr 9y agoWe used to be! They announced their sections feature at Shopify Unite a couple of years ago and we were really worried about the impact it would have. It hasn't had any impact at all. Also, we have a good amount of lock-in with our existing customers. They could switch to something else, but they won't be able to edit any of the pages they've built with Shogun anymore.

- whoisjuan 9y agoIf they haven't do it by now, they probably won't. Why bother with this super-crowded space (drag and drop builders) when you can let their app marketplace figure it out. If it's successful Shopify customers win. If it's super successful they can take a page from Automattic's book and acquire them.
