If your end goal is to forward mail to one account (or multiple accounts) then I have used forwardemail.net/ for the last 3 or 4 years. They are ~$36 USD a year and worth every penny.
Wow this looks awesome! Will definitely check it out, thanks ❤️
While pricey AF, I get a lot of value out of ahrefs and it gives you something to measure. I would do a trial or buy it for a month, export your reports, and then cancel it.
I am on ProductHunt, but I have never launched anything on it yet. If your product has more universal appeal then it's probably worthwhile. Hell, it's probably worthwhile just to go through the exercise/achieve the level of polish that it takes to launch something there. I'm pretty well established in my industry so I don't get as many benefits from ProductHunt and my projects that I don't write about as much here are for normal people who are several degrees of separation removed from ProductHunt.

This seems like a good win and transcripts are great search engine content.
Hehe, I recorded them in Descript and actually already have the transcripts 🙈
I picked up three Dell S2722QC 27-inch 4K USB-C Monitors at the end of the year, and they are great. They were reasonable priced and have enough input ports that they can easily run a FireTV, Switch, etc if you want to double them for entertainment too.
I have run three displays on a 2019 MacBok Pro and a Mac Mini M2 Pro over USB-C and they work drama free. My only small nitpick is they do not have a remote (no big loss) but still easier to use than the four or five buttons on the bottom.
I have never thought about it and I can't say it would be as useful to me. I project-hop all the time and try to get a few things done on a few projects.
My release cycles are automated so my time-to-release is ~2 to 5 minutes from when I git push to any of my projects to when tests run and then code is deployed (I prefer containers for the ease of promoting/demoting images in production.) This feels healthy/good enough.
My time-to-fix is tied to how quickly I notice an issue or someone reports it to me.
I PR bigger features, but I don't fear developing on main for my solo projects because I have tests running before code is deployed. This saves me time and frustration.
For clients and bigger teams, I PR every time and have different considerations, but it's not the end of the world if I need to fall back on a previous version for a bit while I fix something. 90% of the time, my changes are small and iterative enough that there's not much to have to worry about breaking.
Good insights - thanks! I agree if you have a solid test suite you don't really need to worry about working directly on main. I think I'm probably in a similar boat to you - PR bigger features, and do small updates directly on main.
Would you care at all how your progress compares to other projects, in terms of time-to-release / failure rates etc, if that info were available?
I don't remember what my second model was, but they weren't quite built as well as my Shure E3c was. I went through a few lightning adaptors before I gave up.
I owned a pair of Shure E3c (monitors), and they were the best-sounding and fitting earphones I have ever worn. I finally switched to wireless Bluetooth mostly out of convenience because the iPhone dropped the 3.5mm headphone jack. I might have to order one of their newer models now.
hah, I still use the 3.5mm-to-lightning adaptor for the iPhone with the Shures, and feel like a bit of a dinosaur.
I’m on my 3rd pair - the first two lasted about 3 years each, and then had cable issues. Post-2014 they’ve been indestructible.

I have every generation of Apple Air Pods and Pros, and they are worth always keeping a pair with me.
I like the Wyze Noise-Cancelling Headphones a lot because they have an impressive Bluetooth range. I can walk anywhere in my two-story house and never lose connection. Same for my downtown office I can be 3 or 4 offices down and it never drops.
Groups or topics might work well. That way people can share, post, join, or read about a particular subject that's more in line to their interests than the existing firehose format.
Have you seen home.omg.lol yet? I signed up for a 10-year account recently because the app works well, and it was $50 ($5/year).
I point it out to you because it does an amazing amount of community building as add-on value which I think is brilliant. Not sure how many of these are relevant to WIP, but I bet reading their offerings might give you some ideas.
I'm not sure what the answer is to this, but getting hit up for invites via Telegram is my biggest source of Telegram SPAM. Several have never posted after I gave them an invite which I don't get.
My bad idea might be to allow people to join in a sudo "shadow banned" status and after 30 days they can post publicly if they have hit a low level of threshold or else maybe they get recycled.
Yes, I might add a different tier to WIP at some point. It would increase code complexity a lot, but enabling people to demonstrate their value by actively using WIP is a much better way than the questionaire, etc.
