Everyone's talking about AI-generated HTML. But have you tried giving your sites a zero-config API for saving data, file storage, AI, websockets, etc? We did this at Shopify. Runs on a single VM that costs $200/month, and it's changed the way we work. We call it Quick 👇🧵

The wildest part? All of Quick runs on a single VM with a single cloud database. In a high-trust environment, all the complexity you'd normally engineer around simply disappears. This thing only works because its internal.

Since Quick launched in July 2025, we’ve collectively built more than 50,000 sites. Over 50% of employees have at least one Quick site. When you remove the barriers to build & share, it’s incredible what happens. More examples of how we’re using Quick : shopify.engineering/quick

Quick lets anyone at Shopify ship a site in seconds. It has changed the culture of how we build and share.

Play with it here 👇 pushmatrix.github.io/tearabl… This doesn't use html-in-canvas (yet) because I wanted it to work on all devices. It's especially fun to tear using 2 fingers on mobile.

On the main @Shopify sphere, we also wanted dynamic clouds that flow naturally, whirling, forming and dissipating over time. Here's how we achieved that fluidity live nitter.cf/pushmatrix/status/1994…

Can you run WebGL shaders in realtime on Sphere? Turns out you can. @Shopify just did it for visualizing realtime sales in a whole new way.

I still can’t believe it worked! Shopify turned Sphere into the world’s largest shader ball. Huge kudos to @spherevegas and @xordev for the collaboration that made this XO/Art piece possible! And be sure to check out how we did our live globe in threejs: nitter.cf/pushmatrix/status/1994…
