I'll add a way to add todos from pending
Cool!which browser are you using
Chrome, it disappears as I navigate between pages. I've seen this issue before and Turbolinks was the cause, you need to add data-turbolinks-track="reload" to the favicon meta link.
I've not, I always thought my tutorials were always to much of a one off. I might give that a shot :)
I made a few and I really want to make some more.
Making them did take a while (I spent about 1.5 hours for every 10 minutes) and mine were pretty simple.
I think I have ~1h of tutorials on my YouTube channel & before youtube changed their partners program, I made about $30 a year without doing anything other then uploading the video.
However, professionally being able to explain why my code did certain things was incredibly helpful. Plus I've had a few leads from people finding my videos who want to hire me 👍
Have you considered platforms like udemy? They seem to monetize better.

In a casual context where it's users talking to each other (Social media, Slack & Forums) I think they add a lot of value. However when I see them on startups landing pages, I always think it comes as a bit tacky & I question their accessibility.
It's annoying you can't add todos on /pending - as much as I love the telegram integration, that is kind of where I want to add them.
Also, it doesn't have a Favicon - it sometimes gets lost in my other tabs.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll add a way to add todos from pending.
As for the favicon, which browser are you using? There should be a favicon present.

Heroku changes their free tier, it now allows 750 hours of free dyno time a month per an account. So you can run a Web & Worker dyno with a problem. Plus you can run cron jobs via Heroku Scheduler.
I've setup staging environments for a bunch of my clients & their bill for them is normally $0.00 :)
I use github.com/lisinge/valid_emai… - It does two things:
1. Verifies the domain has a valid MX record, so it has to be a "real" email
2. Blacklists known disposable email providers
For the most part, it just picks up on people mistyping domains but I also don't get to many spam signups.
I'm a bit out of the loop on Wordpress stuff (I prefer middleman), but it's probably worth looking at themes like themes.getbootstrap.com/produ… to get started.
