In 2021, my wife started her first Shopify store, and I helped her set it up and run it. When we decided to run a sale, we installed a price editor app. It changed the prices incorrectly and could not restore them, leaving us to repair the catalog manually.
After that, I looked for another price editor in the Shopify App Store, but I could not find one I trusted with something as important as pricing. So I built my own, with safety and backups at its core, so every price change could be rolled back when needed. That became Platmart Bulk Price Editor.
Later, the same store had another problem. Products representing different colors were separate listings in Shopify, but shoppers needed an easy way to move between them. There was no good way to do this at the time, so I built what became Platmart Color Swatches.
Both apps started with real problems in stores I still help operate. That keeps me looking at every product decision from a merchant's perspective.
