I'm working on publishing a big update to my open source .NET project, ShopifySharp. I recently finished a custom graphql query builder generator (written in some sloppy F#) which will be included in the next release, which means all of the types, queries and mutations in Shopify's graphql schema will have a matching fluent-style query builder in ShopifySharp.

Aiming to get that published in the next day or two, and then I plan on diving in on a complete rewrite of the book I wrote on building Shopify apps with .NET and C#. It's long overdue, the book still uses Shopify's deprecated rest API and some methods that aren't supported anymore, but I've been holding off on an update until I could rewrite it with the new fluent query builders in ShopifySharp.

Outside of my OSS stuff, I'm continuing working on my SaaS app, Stages (https://getstages.com) [¹], which has been paying my mortgage and bills. Customers have been asking for lots of features lately and I'm anxious to get a particular one finished (filtering orders and events before they come in and are saved to the app) soon. It's my biggest source of churn right now.

[¹] Elevator pitch: the app is like a pizza tracker for your orders that have a custom or long, drawn out production process. Your staff and customers can see exactly where an order is in the process without calling or emailing you. Shopify only for now but one of main dev goals is to move beyond Shopify.
