Topic summary

Shopify merchant seeks guidance on whether multiple dynamic elements can auto-populate on a client’s landing page (LP) and which apps could enable them. LP = landing page; GCalendar = Google Calendar.

Requested features:

  • Auto date and a “Day xx of 791” counter (potentially sourced from Google Calendar).
  • Weather updated daily (from a website) and a US-wide weather view.
  • Daily “fun fact.”
  • Niche news feed integration.
  • User-submitted, op-ed–style articles.
  • “Art of the week” (user-submitted).
  • “Cool product of the week” with Amazon Associates links and possible exclusive discounts.
  • Weekly itineraries per person auto-filled from an existing, fully populated Google Calendar.
  • Multiple Google Calendar widgets for specific categories.

Latest development: another member asks for the use case behind auto-populating weather data in a Shopify context, seeking clarification on its purpose.

No app recommendations or implementation solutions yet. Discussion remains open with key questions about the necessity and use case of weather integration.

Hey community - I have some questions that I need help with to see if these customizations are possible for my client’s landing page:

  • Having the date auto populate on a LP

  • Having “Day xx of 791” auto populate / possibly pulled from a GCalendar

  • Weather auto populated daily (from a website)

  • US weather auto populated

  • A fun fact populated daily

  • Integrate latest news feed updates for this niche

  • User generated news articles submitted almost OP-ED style

  • Art of the week (submitted same as above)

  • Cool product of the week (amazon associate product links with write up) (exclusive discounts?)

  • weekly schedule populating for each person (itinerary for week of events, GCalendar already built with a full schedule for everyday)

  • GCalendar widget for different specific things

    If anyone knows any apps that wouldhelp with these things, please let me know. Thank you!

Do you mind if I ask what the use case is for:

  • Weather auto populated daily (from a website)

Very curious as to what an app of that functionality would be for in the context of Shopify! :slightly_smiling_face:
