Ecosystem
Whatever we're building, we know we can't do it alone. That's why we're active participants in the Shopify and Ruby communities at both a local and international level.
Events
We currently run the Shopify Partner Meetup in Melbourne and (in partnership with Clik Collective) the Melbourne Ecommerce Meetup.
We previously hosted the Shopify Meetup Melbourne, before handing over the reigns to long-time co-hosts The Working Party.
We’ve sponsored editions of RubyConf AU and you’ll often run into a Disco Labs employee in the crowd there or at local Ruby meetups.
Education
Our founder Gavin has created a number of resources for the Shopify ecosystem, including:
- A free Skillshare course on advanced Shopify theme development;
- The book The Definitive Guide to Shopify Themes, published by Apress;
- The upcoming course Mastering Shopify Apps.
Open source
We’re strong proponents of open source, using it extensively in our day to day work. In addition to contributing back to projects where we can, we’ve also developed and released a number of open source projects, including:
- Cart.js, a Javascript library for building dynamic Shopify theme carts;
- Custard.js, a simple, robust, standardised approach to customising Shopify checkouts;
- django-shopify-auth, the most commonly used Python package for implementing Shopify app authentication.
