Hey Brent it works! 😆 No worries we’ve all been there. 🙂

Numbers are in. $5.1B sold on Shopify over BFCM weekend. This is big for our team, but the real winners are the entrepreneurs and independent businesses. To our merchants who are weathering the winds of change, and to shoppers who are voting with their dollars: well done.

I miss Dropbox (the product) circa 2012. It was perfect. It was done. A growth mindset forced all sorts of weird products that I don’t want. I miss the small, lightweight, always works file syncing. This seems like a renewed opportunity for a small lifestyle company.

I’m realizing that I don’t know enough people who look like me that are in to this cloud/kubernetes world. Security/web dev, yes, but this world no. I want to change this. Please introduce me to these people.

Wow, this is my 8th BFCM at Shopify! Every one of those we worked hard to scale the system to handle BFCM. It's so fun to look back at all the milestones we've hit in those years. 📈 Follow along with this year's sales on our live map: datastories.shopify.com 🚀

Here's a peak at some of the fun stats from this past BFCM weekend:

Today we’re excited to announce Ruby Shield 🛡️ This new initiative in partnership with Shopify Engineering will support open-source and enable us to take on new security-focused projects to better protect our communities. What is this & why are we doing it? 1/🧵

I MADE MY FIRST SMART HOME PRODUCT 🥳🤯 I've wanted a device like this that had all of this functionality in one single device, and no one was making one - so we decided to - and I want you to be able to buy one! 😄 Let me show you it! 🧵👇

The most important story of every business is the one about _why_ it exists. Pulling this story out of a business is hard to do well. I challenged our team to try anyway and I love what they came back with. *This* is why Shopify exists.

This is my 10th BFCM watching the dashboards, and this is definitely the coolest "dashboard" yet to date.
