Build log

Cue launched on Product Hunt on 10 October and finished #5 Product of the Day with 154 upvotes. It is at version 3.6.0 with 47 downloads. It is free and will stay free, so it earns no revenue. It anchors the brand rather than the income.

Next on the calendar is Shareglow’s public launch on Tuesday, 20 October. After that I will report what the launch actually did, including the numbers if they are bad.

On 13 October I replaced Paddle with Polar as the payment rail for the products that charge money outside Shopify. Shareglow already used Polar. TrueMargin and ReconMatch moved over, and the same day both went to production.

Going to production is not the same as being open. Nobody outside the build can sign in to TrueMargin yet, because the sign-in email is still being set up. ReconMatch still runs against QuickBooks Online and Xero sandbox connections until production keys are approved.

Settled’s second review round went in on 12 October and is still waiting on Shopify. I cannot control that date.

I submitted Settled to the Shopify App Store on 6 October. The review came back with three notes, all about the billing screen.

The reviewer had switched plans and landed on an error page. One cause sat behind all three notes. I fixed it the same day, checked it on the live app, and sent the build back.

What I took from it: review feedback reads like three problems and is often one. Check for a shared cause before fixing the notes one at a time.
