Cause of death: the autopsy

Shopify's own assistant, Sidekick, does the job natively, and three same-shape apps launched in 2026 all had 0 reviews after 2-7 months. Shopify's App Store is also the most swarmed channel the farm measured, with 73-75% of new apps at 0 reviews.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
