It's an in-house shipping protection platform for Shopify stores. 260 million packages are lost/stolen per year, and it's really not on the brand in a lot of cases. Huge hit on margin and when given the choice, a lot of customers prefer the piece of mind.

My goal is to give brands the ability to run this in house instead of relying on a third party that could give a worst possible outcome for brand and customer.

Want to make it have an AI claims agent and build a bunch of workflows. The widget took forever to pull it off though so we ship what we have!

Note to self, embeddable widgets are hard no matter how simple they look.

I had given up on universal apps before finding tamagui. We’re rebuilding our app experience with this now and seeing the optimizing compiler work is beautiful. Native feels speedy, and the flattened classes it produces for web makes the experience feel first class. SSR friendly to boot.

For sure, just gotta get grinding though!
