Technologies That Drive Our Solutions

Shopify is a leading e-commerce platform that enables businesses and individuals to build online stores and sell products.

Founded in 2006 by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand and Scott Lake, Shopify offers an app store with thousands of apps that can extend the functionality of a store. From marketing tools to social media integrations to solutions for shipping and inventory management, there’s an app for almost every need.

Shopify is designed to make online stores SEO-friendly. With built-in SEO features, merchants can improve their store’s visibility by adjusting meta tags, alt texts and URLs. Additionally, it provides robust marketing tools for managing email campaigns, discounts and promotions.

React is a popular JavaScript library used for building user interfaces (UI). Since its introduction in 2013, React has revolutionized how web applications are developed by introducing a component-based model that promotes reusability, efficiency and maintainability.

React’s core concept is componentization. In React, UIs are divided into reusable, self-contained components that each represent a part of the UI. These components manage both state and rendering logic, making them modular and reusable across the application, which speeds up development and enhances efficiency.

React Native is a framework that allows developers to build mobile applications for iOS and Android using JavaScript and React. Since its release in 2015, React Native has become one of the most popular technologies for cross-platform app development. It uses the same principles as React, focusing on building user interfaces (UI).

One of the biggest advantages of React Native is that it enables developers to create apps for both iOS and Android with a single codebase. Unlike traditional approaches, where separate apps need to be developed (e.g., Swift for iOS and Kotlin or Java for Android), most of the code in React Native can be reused across iOS and Android, saving time and costs.

Next.js is a popular React framework developed by Vercel that allows developers to create high-performance web applications and websites. It addresses common challenges with React, particularly with server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG). Next.js provides a range of useful features and tools that make building and deploying complex applications more efficient.

One of its core features is the ability to render content on the server before sending it to the client. Unlike traditional React, which primarily renders on the client side, SSR results in faster initial load times and better SEO opportunities. This is particularly important for websites where SEO is crucial, such as blogs, e-commerce sites, or news portals.

Remix is a modern full-stack web framework built on React that focuses on enhancing the user experience through optimal use of web standards and server-side capabilities. Remix was developed by Michael Jackson and Ryan Florence, the creators of React Router and was first released in 2020. It’s designed to solve issues related to data management, routing and performance in modern web applications while keeping a strong focus on user experience.

Remix allows developers to implement both server-side and client-side logic within a single codebase, ensuring efficient data handling across the stack.

One of Remix’s central concepts is Progressive Enhancement, which aims to design web applications that function even when advanced features like JavaScript are unavailable. Remix renders HTML on the server, ensuring core functionality remains intact without JavaScript. Additional interactivity and dynamic functions are layered on top, making the app robust while using JavaScript for more dynamic features. Our Shopify apps are exclusively built with Remix.

Electron is a tool that allows developers to build desktop applications that look and function like native apps but are built using web technologies. This means that web developers can use their skills to create desktop programs.

One of Electron’s major advantages is its cross-platform compatibility, which allows the same app to work on Windows, Mac, or Linux devices, functioning consistently across all systems.
