Theme Conflict Detector and CSS Cleaner
The Opportunity
An app that scans installed apps for CSS or script conflicts causing broken storefront elements like pagination, arrows, buttons, or other theme UI components. It helps merchants identify which app is injecting problematic styles and optionally remove or override them safely.
"Merchants often experience storefront layout bugs caused by third-party app CSS that breaks theme elements, but they struggle to identify the exact source quickly."

Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Offer a diagnostic tool that compares rendered storefront output, detects conflicting CSS selectors, flags the offending app, and provides guided cleanup or safe override snippets for common theme issues.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants using multiple apps, especially stores experiencing unexplained frontend visual bugs
Competitive Landscape
No strong direct single-purpose competitor; partially covered by theme support tools, app uninstall cleaners, and developer debugging utilities
Implementation Notes
Use storefront asset inspection plus runtime CSS comparison to detect injected selectors from apps, then map those selectors to likely app sources using asset tags, script URLs, and known app patterns. Include a visual diff screenshot workflow, browser-side diagnostics, uninstall cleanup guidance, and optional auto-generated override CSS for common conflicts.

"La causa señalada fue una app externa, Zify Gallery, que estaba añadiendo reglas CSS que afectaban la paginación."
"Tras eliminarla, la paginación volvió a mostrarse correctamente."
