Palafox to Zinie is coughing baby to hydrogen bomb. For anyone who hasn’t seen this kid play in LCKCL he’s an absolute freak, possibly the best mid prospect in years and I have no idea how Shopify landed him. More on reddit.com

Absolutely not. Shopify app market is still full of opportunities that newcomers can grab. I have 3 apps running successfully on Shopify market and constantly launching small apps to test different markets and solutions. I launch an app a month ago and getting good response on that. There are some categories which can be tough, but what I've learned so far after researching few categories is that merchants are looking for exact solutions to their problems, they don't want to long setup process and advance features. Already established apps have become so advance by adding features every now and then that merchants don't want to get involve in that just to solve a simple problem. So there is opportunity for new apps for simple solutions. Because of the competition, chances of failure would be greater if you build the whole app and launch it and keep investing on it to market it, it has now become like launching a SaaS product. You have to build a very minimal version, test it on a market for few months and take decision on the basis of your learnings. Good luck! 💪🏼 More on reddit.com

What can’t you do with Shopify? You will quickly find that the underbrush of ecom is almost insurmountable without a platform. More on reddit.com

Find a niche business need that needs to be solved first. So many developers want some sort of "SaaS" set it and forget it revenue generator without actually having functional business - but store owners are about fed up of the ala carte Shopify functionality model nickel and diming them on every simple feature, and pretty much all generic needs have been solved, if you can't find a niche that's got a somewhat profitable use case, then move on. IMO a new successful Shopify app or integration these days needs to be the brain child of someone with a lot of business experience and relationships in enterprise eCommerce and/or someone with their thumb on the pulse of upcoming Shopify releases and current constraints, not a CRUD developer with time to kill.
