We have been doing BFCM dashboards for the past 10 years now. It's always one of the most fun projects at Shopify and a great tradition now.

You know, it's pretty abstract to run internet software companies. Seeing a visualization like this makes it a lot more relateable even for the folks that work here.

This year we packed it with lots of fun details ( https://twitter.com/Shopify/status/1728040379163771020 ). Like you might see fireworks when a store has their first ever sale, and there are lots of fun city stats which are part generated by GPT4. On desktop you can also open the nerd menu and play around with the settings and share the link to your creation.

Is BFCM a well known acronym? I get that it’s about Black Friday but can’t figure out the CM and don’t see it written out anywhere

Only Cyber Monday started in July, on a Wednesday.

+1, it's especially cool how it breaks down different statistics by city. Really great work.

why is looking up Jerusalem, Israel blocked?

[JLCarveth]

It doesn't seem blocked, it says "Not enough data" when you select it.
