We host a dozen or so Shopify stores, with wildly different daily volume.

One store averages ~$5k/hour and has kept usual pace while a different store that nets $1k/hour has had zero orders since 3pm.

It's possible this is affecting smaller stores?

Do you have a source for that theory?

[tomcatfish → lfti]

I actually agree that it's an odd theory, but I do not see how someone would have a "source" for this. Did you mean to ask for "evidence" or "proof"?

To paraphrase Caitlin Johnstone, what does evidence matter when my source owns aircraft carriers?

Hey, I dig this and may bring it up at work tomorrow.

- Does it break if your product goes away? How long can I expect support?

- Does this have theming options? CSS?

- You should prevent the "click to read" function from reading the toolbar itself. Or have it read what the button does.

Hey, that's awesome!

- Does it break if your product goes away? How long can I expect support?

Nope, the toolbar is delivered via IPFS and will work indefinitely (unless ISPs block it of course). Though this is a very long-term project, so you can expect support for years to come!

- Does this have theming options? CSS?

Not yet. But custom theme colors will eventually be added at the very least.

- You should prevent the "click to read" function from reading the toolbar itself. Or have it read what the button does.

This should have been fixed a while ago, which browser did you experience this in? I'll fix it asap.
