Very cool. I'm jealous of you right now and I hope it sells well.

No, sites go down all the time and need to rebooted, reconfigured, redeployed, strangled, etc. by a human who has to watch the servers 24 hours a day. I'm ignorant to the number of customers that Shopify is hosting these stores for, but let

Is it cynical when you see a pattern in the language she's using? She's not the first customer to complain about the outcome of a business transaction she engaged in, remember Paula Jones?, so the public at large is already well-educated in

You will get your app of the ground faster, but you're selling yourself short if you're a technology-based company thinking that you'll never have scaling problems. Competing against Twitter or any other social-based app you'll probably nev
