Building Your First Shopify App in 2025: A Data-Driven Journey

Hey there, future Shopify app developer! 👋

If you're reading this, you're probably thinking about building a Shopify app. Maybe you've got a brilliant idea that could help thousands of merchants, or perhaps you're exploring ways to enter the thriving Shopify ecosystem. Either way, you're in the right place.

The Big Question: Is It Worth It?
