Version 3.0
Added:
We have added all the latest and greatest features related to popups. Story now has newsletter popups, standard announcements, and cookie warnings which are integrated with Shopify's compliance APIs. Our marketing popups can be triggered by timers, scroll position, or fired immediately.
We added an announcement bar in the header, an overdue feature that required some planning around a new design that also allows for currency/language switchers in the header toolbar.
Press section
Icons section

We changed the filters toolbar on mobile to have sticky buttons for "sort" and "filter".
