We stitch together the same infrastructure, put together the same building blocks, and build out the same features, over and over again.
Rather than spending our time on what makes our web apps special and unique, we spend endless cycles on the same old, same old.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Gadget gives MERN-stack (Node + React) developers the infrastructure and the framework to build out their projects without all the busywork.
Whether you’re a frontend or backend dev, a newbie or a pro, Gadget gives you the tools, libraries, and frameworks you need to build, deploy, and scale full-stack applications with confidence.
Make more money by completing projects faster and maintaining less over time. Gadget’s serverless architecture and 3rd-party API connectors make web app development and maintenance a breeze.
Customize your Shopify store with private apps. Connect to Shopify with no integration, build tools that help increase sales, and streamline business operations in no time.
With @gadget_dev we can spend 100% of our time focusing on the business logic and the domain problem and not have to worry about scaffolding server resources or OAuth for @Shopify apps ever again!
Well, someone had to do it! Meet Otto – an A.I. copywriter for @Shopify, powered by @OpenAI 's ChatGPT. Otto uses inputs such as product title, category, and type to write high-quality content for your product in just seconds. https://heyotto.app
Spent a little time working on a simple (& free!) @Shopify app over the holidays, and again @gadget_dev proved to be invaluable for building/iterating on our concept quickly. Working on "legacy" projects really makes me wish we had Gadget sooner.
It took care of a lot: auth, database, session management, internal API, hosting, webhooks, etc. Basically the entire BE/server setup. I just created the project and immediately started coding. A couple react files and server routes later and I had the app!
Quick update: @gadget_dev is insanely good. In many years of poking away at @Shopify app dev I have never felt more expressive. Amazing docs, wonderful workflows, and it already feels like a huge superpower for our business.
Happy to announce that migration to Gadget for Pretty Popup Sales is now live! Thanks @gadget_dev for helping me through this.I truly believe in it to be soon the standard of Shopify apps development! #shopify #shopifydevs #buildinpublic
Although it's not an app, it's more of a platform to build apps. @gadget_dev has probably the best dev docs in the Shopify ecosystem after @Shopify dot dev.
I wanna do a prediction....a year from now every embedded shopify app will be made on @gadget_dev It's huge!
