A lot of people really struggle with both large numbers and changes in units. Our current system is basically the social consensus of what is easiest.
The best part is it doesn't even matter. If you like megameters most, just put an imaginary . before the first 3 digits.
Check out your console some easter eggs. Pretty cool!!! Also that is a ton of data polled like every second. 68 deep array of objects. impressive would be cool to read about their backend

I don't see anything impressive TBH. Looks like a simple list of order events from their message bus or something.
Gosh I've really enjoyed using the Shop Pay checkout experience on an increasingly large number of ecommerce sites this past few months. It didn't really click until recently that this was all Shopify backed! Makes me think it might not be too late to figure out a sensible valuation for NYSE:SHOP and invest.
As someone who is on merchant side related to Shopify, SHOP is greatly overvalued
Having worked in the bowels of a major online retailers networking team during black Friday sales, I can say that a lot of the patterns you see in this UI are real. People do indeed get out of bed at ungodly hours of the morning to get two bucks knocked off a stereo.
We where one the first webshop in the country to have a Black Friday campaign, mostly as an aftertought. The entire thing was just one guy in marketing, me, who hacked together a quick way to add the discounts and then our fantastic team of buyers who used to occasion to clean out old stock and mistaken purchases. We ran with anything from 20 - 90% discounts. As stuff sold out everyone just kept digging into old stock and adding insane discounts. It was so much fun to see items that normally didn't move just sell out in minutes.
The next year everything was more or less normalize, planned and just boring and stressful as expectations from customers where much higher and it became more a quest to keep the servers from crashing.
Slightly off topic but I am always surprised Shopify hasn't every created something akin to the amazon homepage that allows you to browse and find items at shopify stores more seamlessly.
We were surprised by this as well, but since one didn't exist, we started to create one! https://vendazzo.com/ We still have a long ways to go, but you can search for items and filter based on things like category and distance (if you are trying to shop locally). We're doing things on a very tight budget at the moment, so sometimes the site goes down, but we're working on it :) If you have any feedback, we would love…
on serious note, pretty cool visualization!
