Had my boomber Mom go through the extension from start to finish. Very illuminating to see her struggle through parts of it UX/UI wise. Super helpful.
Setting up my extensions Chrome Store page.
Scheduled art for the coming week for #randomdailyart and #randomdailyartai
Ugh, I have to use a client-side image uploader, so I'm switching to tactics. Vercel has very small file size limits. 🙄 Ok, I'm going to use Vercel blob client-side with a server-side signature, so users have to be authed. Upload to vercel blob. Then move to bunnyCDN and then delete from vercel blob. I'm cheap and don't want to pay for vercel. (Already paying for bunny cdn but it's cheap)
More bug fixes and minor changes for the extension, based beta testing.
_Finally_ moving over the last images from cloudinary to bunny cdn. Cloudinary is stupid expensive! #randomdailyart
Adding the wizard to the extension settings. Cuz why not? Everyone loves him.
Watched someone onboard the extension and saw a lot of small bugs and weird issues. Very helpful. I can't wait to have calls with customers one day.
Updated the extension landing page. More work is needed before I launch, but almost there.
Finishing up the *last* bits of work on my extension. It's been months of slow work on this thing. So excited to launch. Gmail extensions are such a pain.
Out on a long walk and seeing some animals.
Added art for the coming week to newsletters. #randomdailyart #randomdailyartai
More work on the extension trial logic for when the trial expires. Plus a lot more testing.
Finally changing the art upload function to upload art to bunnycdn instead of cloudinary. I'm tired of manually doing it. #randomdailyart
More work on wrapping up the extension trial logic to nudge people to upgrade. I'm using chrome alarms to check every 30 minutes in the background, then send a message to the UI. Which opens the nag modal.
Fixing a few random bugs I found after all my refactoring. The other day. Thank god for bots.
Showing extension users when their trial ends and how many actions they can take before it expires.

Outdoors today enjoying some nature.
Trying out cursor.ai to work faster. I'm so behind on everything these days. 🙈
