I've been building Shopify apps for years and the setup friction always killed me: OAuth flows, session management, Polaris components, Remix boilerplate, webhooks, deployment configs... I'd spend days before writing any actual business logic.
So I built Viber (https://getviber.dev) - describe what you want, watch it build in real-time, deploy in one click.
How it works:
You describe your app: "Build a product reviews app with photo uploads and star ratings"
The AI agent writes the full Remix app using 100% Shopify Polaris components
Live preview updates as code is generated
One-click deploy to production
Technical details:
Full Remix/React apps, not templates
Native Shopify Polaris UI (looks like it belongs in Shopify admin)
GraphQL queries for Shopify data (products, orders, customers)
Prisma + PostgreSQL for app data
Proper OAuth flow and session handling baked in
Choose between Claude Opus/Sonnet or GPT-4o/o3
What makes it different from Cursor/Copilot:
It's not just code completion, it's an agentic system that understands the full Shopify ecosystem. It knows which scopes to request, how to structure Remix routes, when to use ResourceList vs IndexTable, and how billing webhooks work.
Honest limitations:
Complex apps still need refinement
The AI occasionally hallucinates Polaris components that don't exist
Deploy currently goes to Fly.io (Shopify hosting coming)
Built this as a solo founder over the past few months. Would love feedback from anyone who's built Shopify apps before, is this solving a real pain point or am I in my own bubble?
Live at https://getviber.dev (free tier available)
Happy to answer any technical questions about the agent architecture, the Remix integration, or how we handle the Shopify OAuth dance.
