Shopify is a versatile platform, but I found that at a certain point, only working on the storefront limits the client projects I can do. I am just a front end developer who has been doing what I love for many years.īut as I worked more with Liquid and Shopify stores, I discovered that you can only go so far without using apps. Servers are scary-when I run npm-install and see thousands of files installed, files I know nothing about, I panic. Day-to-day, my code is limited to creating CSS and Javascript architectures, trying my hardest to make code performant and accessible. Nowadays, I mostly write front end code for small and large organizations. In my view, Liquid is still not getting all the credit it deserves. It’s a sweet mix of markup plus logic, and I found it so easy to grasp. I stumbled across Liquid seven years ago and loved the simplicity. I did print design, Flash, SEO, I fell in love with web typography, thought MooTools was groundbreaking, and experienced jQuery as my gateway to JavaScript. I wrote my first line of code on a ZX Spectrum. I’ve been doing it since tables were a thing. Sign up Why front end developers could consider Shopify apps
