Email As A Process Component
With our Bodega 1.0 launch and our new way of doing things (e.g. purchase tracking), I’ve had to deal with a lot of e-commerce store providers out there. I now know way more than I ever wanted to know about a ton of stores out there… but what has struck me the most is how in this day and age, a company can still use email as a process component.

There are very good reasons for why they’d want to do this, like being able to ship out bugfix releases without having to release whole new OS builds. And the extra few bucks per app certainly doesn’t...
