Launched Shoppy on IH
by ChrisTL;DR - I just finished developing my first Shopify app--Shoppy, a free app that gives you updates about orders sent directly to Slack and you can even upgrade to Elite and get daily, weekly, or monthly order summaries to make reporting easier. Get the free beta app here: https://shoppy.emerald.io. Since this is my first app, any feedback you have is appreciated!

Hi Chris,
Big congrats on getting this far, i love this way of creating product for your own problems.
I'm in the same boat as you probably were some months ago. I run a Shopify store, found a problem and now trying to learn myself to code. I'm going with Rails as well.
Though i'm running into quite a few roadblocks. Can you tell me how you went about learning and building your product? What was some of the most helpful resources you found?
Would love to pick your brain a bit, and give some in return. Let me know if you're open.
Best,
Daniel

Hi Daniel -
Two resources that really helped:
- Michael Hartl's free online tutorial to get started with Rails: https://www.railstutorial.org/book/beginning#sec-installing_rails
- The base shopify_app github: https://github.com/Shopify/shopify_app
I also wrote a blog post about building a Shopify Rails app and addressed 3 common mistakes I encountered and their fixes: https://hackernoon.com/3-common-mistakes-to-avoid-when-building-your-first-shopify-app-cc9006f06009
Happy to chat more!
