#acnh
Selling Animal Crossing items, almost got sued by Nintendo
Launched February 10, 2021
#acnh Write post-mortem blog post about our Etsy store: pretzelhands.com/posts/making…
#acnh Receive official cease-and-desist/DMCA takedown from Nintendo lawyers and close shop.
#acnh Simplify booking interface and use regular select, so it's easier to select a timeslot on mobile phones
#acnh Show time in customers local timezone on hover so we don't constantly have to do manual conversion
#acnh Add Tailwind JIT because this is a greenfield project and there's no one who can stop me
#acnh Switch to IANA Timezone Identifiers because Carbon can't handle abbreviated summertime ('CET' vs 'CEST')
#acnh Reenable shop after forced vacation and puppy break 🐶
#acnh Finally restore shop back to active mode after forced vacation mode
#acnh Talk to Etsy support to figure out how to get shop back online and how to prevent same issue in the future
#acnh Go through messages and tell ppl we can't accept new orders rn because Etsy sucks
#acnh Setup 5-card approach and update to v1.9.0 (Hello Kitty Update)
#acnh Notify Americans that they just switched to Daylight Savings and that their booked times are moved to be an hour later, because their bookings were in CST/MST/whatever
#acnh Buy 3 extra microSD cards so we can have one per island which reduces time needed to reset by 3-4 minutes
#acnh Be so popular that Etsy forces our shop into vacation mode
#acnh Handle customer communication via email as Etsy apparently fails to send email to customers who only sign up as guest
#acnh Add huge disclaimer about booking a spot at top of description
#acnh Booked until next Monday
#acnh Get access to Etsy PubSubHubBub live feed so I can automatically associate reservations with orders and send users pre-filled reservations
#acnh Add no-show policy because ppl keep not showing up on time which is increasingly annoying
#acnh Switch to modal-based approach so I can show an entire month worth of dates because ppl are already asking about next weekend and complaining that the calendar only shows the next 3 days, which clearly is not enough
