For brick & mortar with web store, Shopify, Highrise and Square provide a valuable tool set. The only missing piece is integration between the three. Allow the inventory to be managed with Shopify and feed into Square. Let me sell online or in-person using Shopify & Square (or just Square). Finally allow me to push transactions into Highrise from Square or Shopify.

After four years of my serving as Tumblr’s lead developer, Tumblr’s technical management needs have evolved to require types of experience that I don’t have, and my independent career has offered a lot of opportunities that I haven’t had the time to take full advantage of.

You can immediately tell if you have stepped in a new meme and have it all over...
