a year ago

As part of my journey learning react native, I was thinking about building something cool that is related to the thing I enjoy talking about which is Shopify.

So, I decided to add a feature to the Shop app. that will allow user search in Shopify stores product catalog using an image instead of the keywords.

The workflow: A user scrolling through Instagram and the found a product that they like Take a screenshot of it Open the mobile app, click on the camera icon. Select the image and let the magic happen Get a list back of similar looking products across different Shopify store (in our case, it’ll be one Shopify Store)
