MicroConf Europe 2016

Hey there! 👋

You probably found this page because of my MicroConf Europe attendee talk on an app I built for the Shopify App Store:

Surprisingly rare for many #microconf attendees. Go ahead and launch it already! @dbader_org speaking pic.twitter.com/0ZhR9Kty3C

This page contains supporting material for my talk, the PDF slides, and my contact info.

My app

Nearby Store Notification is a single-purpose app available on the Shopify App Store. This is the first Shopify app I ever built and it’s also the first paid software product that I released as a “one man show” (besides some ill-fated shareware experiment when I was 14).

If you’d like to learn more about the app, go check out the app’s sales page on the Shopify app store.

Here’s the demo video that I mentioned in the talk:

Presentation slides

The most important part of getting good at anything is going out there and doing it, at least for me. I know I’m still early in my journey as a software entrepeneur, but I learned a ton from going out there and launching a tiny product.

I hope you got some takeaways from my presentation that’ll help you on your own journey. I really enjoyed giving back to the community. I would’ve never got even this far without the great stuff that people are putting out every day — podcasts, blog posts, ebooks.

Thanks for that!

I’d also love to meet you on Twitter. I frequently share articles from the software dev world and content from my own blog.

If you like you can sign up for my email newsletter where I announce new blog posts once a week. I mostly write for a software developer audience but I feel like there’s a decent chance that you are a developer if you’re reading this 😉
