I built a shopify app for my ecommerce monitoring system and my system is mostly written in PHP I have some Go and Python for various stuff by the core is in PHP mainly because I think PHP is really good language for web apps, it's designed for it, literally. I went to use the Shopify php library and it's literally dead, I looked at the issues and there was a Shopify employee advising people to use an unoffical one that basically supports everything. It's cool the employee pointed people in the right direction but I think it's a sad state of affairs that one of the most popular web programming languages in the word has no support from them.

Also, the reason people can't use Shopify with my system yet is that even to be approved for an unlisited application you need to allow for account creation via Shopify. I understand for listed apps in the store but if I want to have an app where they click a button on my site and I connect to their shopify system and get data I still need to support this feature I won't use. That saddened me. I just need to create time to allow for account creation via their app store and figure out what that means getting the info and how to handle user confirmation if at all.
