#channelsurfer

Turn your YouTube subscriptions into a 2000s cable TV guide. Flip channels, watch what's on, and relive the golden age of channel surfing.
Fix data importing bugs and try to make it more future-proof #channelsurfer
Made a fun new toy. Turn a video into an ASCII video. #channelsurfer channelsurfer.tv/tools/video-…
Automate sending new and churned users an email. #channelsurfer
I decided I need to try to raise money to continue to work on #channelsurfer. This is not a thing I can bootstrap. Taking on YouTube is impossible at this point without a mountain of cash. Going to look for a co-founder and apply to YC. Fuck it.
Make the API endpoints retry when the database connection flakes out. #channelsurfer
Added way better logging to the logs so I can better debug issues. I went a bit crazy but I think it will be worth it. #channelsurfer
Add the ability for pro users to hide and order the channels #channelsurfer
Added keyboard shortcuts so you can finally change the channel with your keyboard. #channelsurfer
Start killing logs because I'm over my limit on events #channelsurfer
Finally, fix some of the data importing bugs that random users hit. #channelsurfer
Segment mailing list so I can contact paid users and free users separately. #channelsurfer
Fix a user-reported bug. Then clean up several things for the paid customers. #channelsurfer
Rip out some unused code for the user sign-up flow. #channelsurfer
Fix some billing issues I found. #channelsurfer
Add stricter moderation as people keep trying to share their damn thoughts on politics. #channelsurfer
I added a way to report bugs directly from the users' dashboard. So it's easier to get a bug to me vs going to the contact page and doing it there. #channelsurfer I have Claude look at it and ask them for more details if it's not a good bug report. So only real bugs get filed.
Migrate things over to the new repo. #channelsurfer
Pull the code out of the mono repo so it's separate and quicker for AI to scan and do reviews on. #channelsurfer
Add a sleep timer so users can have it shut off after a while #channelsurfer
Add a real help page #channelsurfer
