I was contacted by a non-technical team with a concept about a new shopify based startup. I thought I can just build it in a couple of months then let them operate it.

I spent a month on it just researching through the mess that is the Shopify API. It was a pain. I got the mockup working but it looked like this is risky. Tried all channels and got nothing. Eventually someone answered and it seems that everything I built won't work. We would need to jump through hoops to be Shopify compatible and I decided it would strip the startup of its value.

Decided to declare the month of work I did as a loss and bail. Still traumatized from the whole mobile development pain of Apple and Google...
