I built a analytics tool to research Shopify stores and it's called "MakerPeek". I am pretty proud of it considering I built and shipped it in a weeks time. I realized most of the other tools in the niche were just guessing revenues from different stores so I built MakerPeek specifically to be accurate, honest, and not to fabricate any info or numbers. I realized simplicity is key and that helped me shorten down development time a lot, it does what it's supposed to do and that's it. I am pretty new to building tools and participating in communities like this but I love it so far and excited to build more and learn more.</p> <p>Here is a link if you're interested in checking it out: [<a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/makerpeek-shopify-store-r/gdnlmpkemmeemdecdcpbnmjjfipdgmfm?" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/makerpeek-shopify-store-r/gdnlmpkemmeemdecdcpbnmjjfipdgmfm?</a>]</p> <p>Any feedback is appreciated!</p> showdev learning development codenewbie
