Long term viability

[sdn90]

Hey all,

I 100% agree with all the issues raised about Shopify theme dev in the video.

However, I am very hesitant of adopting this at my workplace. We are a merchant that maintains a very large and old theme so the cost of us adopting is very high.

I've seen community open source Shopify projects come and go over the years. I can't think of a single one that has gained meaningful traction and survived.

1. What is Archetype's incentive to maintain this?
2. Are there any plans to drive adoption aside from organically?
3. Is Archetype going to give control to the wider community?

Awesome questions, Steven! 🤓

Hey Thomas! Appreciate you taking the time out to answer these questions!

Are you planning giving out merge permissions to people outside of Archetype at some point?

Same thing here @sdn90 -- these are all great questions! Post as a new thread so others can discover in the future and I'll respond there
