The gist
The stream follows preparations for a Shopify app submission, prioritizing completion of the move from Polaris React to Polaris Web Components and visual and functional QA of the merchant interface before returning to website, report, and funnel polish. Practical work also covered GA4, Google Tag Manager, and PostHog configuration; verifying that changes reached production through GitHub and Cloudflare; reviewing Supabase table organization; and troubleshooting MCP access—without treating visible identifiers alone as proof of end-to-end tracking. Luqman drew lessons from accumulated Git branches and worktrees and from coding-agent completion claims that failed manual inspection, arguing for regular integration and direct verification. He also discussed automated build-and-audit agent loops, his personal impressions of Codex and Claude, and audience questions about deployment, model choice, project languages, client acquisition, programmatic SEO, Kanban boards, and Hermes. Open questions remained around some Cloudflare and MCP failures, the best database organization, the value of particular agent tools, and the final submission date.

Running QA Before Further UX and Product Work
The speaker outlined a workflow that starts with manually checking and debugging the merchant-admin application’s functionality, then moves to UX and the product’s backend behavior, while noting that go-to-market work still requires substantial effort.

Auditing AI Assistant Tool Access
The speaker proposed reviewing tool permissions one by one after an AI assistant repeatedly reported that it lacked access, then retrying the workflow once the required connections were confirmed.

Why Audit-Report Presentation Matters Alongside the Data
The speaker notes that some people care mainly about the data, but argues that the report’s presentation and appearance matter too. Although the report is broadly complete, he wants to give it and the funnel another polishing pass.

Focusing on the Shopify App Before Submission
To reach submission, the speaker decides to concentrate the near-term work on the app that will run inside Shopify and temporarily defer improvements to the website, report, and audit. This is a practical tradeoff between polishing supporting materials and finishing the core product first.
