Working on getting threads working correctly. The first step is to get quoted text/HTML right. #aichatemail

Slowing launching #aichatemail It sucks for now but it's a start.

Fixing various issues and preparing to launch my AI tool.

Added art for the next week. #randomdailyart & #randomdailyartai

Setting up all the email MX settings. This one is kind of tricky... I need to route the mail for the domain one place (*@example.com) Then a subdomain to a real inbox (*@contact.example.com)

Setting up stripe for the soon-be-launched AI thing I'm working on.

Google is still blocking the release of my Gmail extension. 6 months of hard work is basically stuck in limbo. I'm not sure what to do or what they even want at this point. Extremely frustrating and disappointing. It's like dealing with an outsourced call center. I'm going to try again with another demo video. Not sure what else to do at this point.

Trying to get everything deployed and working correctly. local dev environment ≠ production

Setting up all logging and simple analytics so I don't have to pay for some third-party stuff. Just use a good old database.

More changes to the extension code to appease the overlords, Google. They did actually find one good mistake but holy crap, their communication is so bad.

Trying to figure out how in the world to test prompts correctly. I have hundreds of tests I need to test and confirm I'm always getting back the correct response.

Added and scheduled modern, contemporary, and AI art for the next week. #randomdailyart & #randomdailyartai

These days, I do everything in serverless lambdas. Even the subscription forms. I have it just do some spam checking, and then if it passes, it adds the email to the mailing list.

Working on a landing page for a new project while I wait for Google.

Emailed Google, begging them for a clear response to what their problem is with my extension's API access. I doubt they'll respond without more links to docs and vague corporate speech.... Stay far away from this company if you can. Don't use their API, cloud services, etc. Avoid at all cost.

I recorded another video for Google as I fight to get my extension's Gmail API access approved. I wish I could just get on a Zoom with a real human. I hate their bizarre Corporate dehumanizing responses. Plus, they're slow as fuck.

I really think Google is trying to prevent me from releasing my Gmail tool. I've spent MONTHS working on this thing. They keep denying access to the Gmail API. Any ideas how to get this approved?

I never want to build on a Google product EVER again. 🙅‍♂️ Everyday I have to make changes to appease them for my extension, that uses their API. They have me recording videos. Adding statements to the privacy policy. Rebranding! The entire thing. Ridiculous.

Wow, Google is really giving me shit about my extension. Super nitpicking me to death.
