I'm 17 & I built a Shopify App - It Launched Just Today!

Hey hackers,
I’ve been obsessed with the operational side of Shopify lately.
One thing that consistently blows my mind: even in 2026, most merchants are still spending 10-20 minutes manually copy-pasting data to list a single product. It’s a massive growth killer.

I built Filleo to turn that into a 15-second task. It’s an agentic AI that takes messy product data (supplier sheets, PDFs, raw notes) and transforms it into a ready-to-publish listing.

It handles the titles, formatted descriptions, SEO tags, HS codes & everything else automatically.
The Tech/Strategy: I’m currently in the pre-launch phase, focusing on the "high-frequency listers" who add products one-by-one.

It just launched 2 days ago, so feel free to try it out from the below link. It only takes a few seconds but once you try it, trust me you'll very much like it!

    Shipping at 17 is already ahead of 90% of people who spend years thinking about building something. The fact that you chose a real platform with real merchants as your first market — not a toy project — says a lot about how seriously you're approaching this.
    One piece of unsolicited advice from someone who has launched multiple products and is currently at Day 1 again on a new one: the hardest part isn't today. Today is exciting. The hard part is two weeks from now when the launch energy fades and you're staring at flat analytics wondering if anyone cares. The founders who survive that phase are the ones who treat distribution with the same discipline they gave the build. Put "write 3 comments on IH" and "reply to 5 merchants in Shopify forums" on the same task list as your bug fixes. When marketing is on the board next to code, it stops feeling like a distraction and starts feeling like the job.
