What do you know? After more then a year, almost two if you count the development of snowdevil, Shopify is done and ready to be shared.
What a process. Releasing something you have worked on for such a long time got to be one of the most overwhelming things imaginable.Release annoucement is on the jaded Pixel blog.
First 5 comments with emails get a invitaton key

Ah nuts – only USA and Canada. Can I fake an address just to try it out or is that a no-no?
Myles Byrne 14 Apr 22:09
I’ve got a client lined up who’s keen to try shopify, problem is we’re in Australia.
Will international support follow shortly or is it a long term goal?
