We just passed 1 million pre-orders processed through PreProduct — over $85M in merchant revenue!
Pulled together a report on what’s working: when brands charge, fulfilment timing, pricing trends, and more.

I enjoy reading/watching the content in @hotwireweekly.com each week. So when I ran into an interesting problem supporting the new Shopify 2k+ variant limit, I thought I'd record a video on it. The solution: virtual scrolling in Hotwire and Rails:

We use it on two apps. Really like it. It does come with tests, so should protect from any potentially dangerous mistakes
Nice little design pattern: use backdrop-filter (or backdrop-blur in Tailwind) when you want a card to blend with a gradient background. Works better than setting a solid background color since it naturally matches the underlying larger gradient.
Went through the buying process for help desk software recently. Was a really nice exercise to see what I was focusing on.
As a result of this, we just refreshed every one of our 66 docs + working on concise walkthrough videos for the main screens, so prospective customers can actually see the app
Thank you!
Been building/running preproduct.io for the last four years (Bootstrapped + Rails). It's pre-order software for E-commerce stores.
New landing page design finished for my side-project App Friends. It's about 3 months old and actually helped our main business: PreProduct quite a bit.
I love playing around with the newer codebase, then pulling in successful experiments to PreProduct.
Notion. Don't use many of the features, but I like it. We're smaller than the 10-25 size team though
I feel like Cursor has fixed the issue where it doesn't understand you've made changes between prompts recently.
Really helps and makes me reach for the Cursor composer more readily.
We have a :state column, and just delete webhooks with a status of 'completed' every 24 hours or so.
I'm sure we could keep them all too though 👍
Shared some Ruby code with a non-technical customer this morning, as I thought it was the best way to explain the rules of our auto-listing feature.
Only addendum was that "preproduct" is our internal word for "pre-order listing".
I guess the `&&` could throw someone off, but they seemed to get it!
