Do a big backend refactor, add Clerk auth on the backend, set up health endpoint, and deploy API module (separate from the bot module) to be used for the dashboard. Now to hook up the dashboard frontend which is already built to the API #watchdog !private

Replace Tweet embed with a custom component that looks just like it because deleted tweets can't be embedded (and Watchdog will auto-delete rule violating tweets) #watchdog !private

Switch the dashboard to light mode #watchdog !private

Group rule violations by date #watchdog !private

Fix spacing, handle multiple punishments, and show dry run as a separate emoji for rule violations on the Watchdog dashboard #watchdog !private

Remove white bg on each violated post because I think it looks cleaner with respect to the pills above each card #watchdog !private

Start building a dashboard for #watchdog customers and get the frontend app deployed with auth working and mock data !private

Push new AI model settings with better tuning to ensure consistent responses and adjust "personal accounts" rule wording again to prevent false positives for Build in Public #watchdog !private

See OpenAI throwing 403 errors for no reason while in the middle of a bench press set. Will have to check if resolved when I get back from lifting !private #watchdog

Get nice feedback from new customer that the product is working as advertised #watchdog !private

Enabled Build in Public for automated rule enforcement for personal accounts and off-topic posts 🤖 cc @marc @bdlowery #watchdog !private

Built an onboarding form using youform and redirect to it from Lemonsqueezy checkout to avoid confusion after signup #watchdog !private

Make a sale for Watchdog while I was sleeping! First time this has happened for me on one of my own subscription products. Posted about it here: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… Negative: customer canceled immediately, now to find out why (I sent them a DM to ask if there's anything I could do better) #watchdog

Made the landing page dynamic i.e. show X screenshots when the user clicks on the X integration at the top - mostly doing this for SEO reasons because before Google didn't recognize my different landing pages as different pages because they were too similar #watchdog !private

Fixed chat ID handling to make sure old chat IDs ( >= 0) get properly generated links #watchdog !private

Get invited to the OpenAI o1 beta but decide to nix it for now because it’s wildly expensive and slow with low rate limits, and the cheaper mini model is only tuned for STEM use cases #watchdog !private

Make message URL sharing work across all Telegram group types. Telegram's developers are on hard drugs and return chat IDs that are invalid for link sharing, you need to manually format them yourself and remove the "-100" prefix 🤦‍♂️ #watchdog !private

Implemented alert forwarding to a channel instead of DMing each admin individually because a customer asked for it #watchdog !private

Add message links to Telegram rule violations because a customer asked for it. Only works with public telegram groups with usernames because Telegram is stupid and doesn't let you link to messages in other group types #watchdog !private

Redo landing page hero and take @alexstyl's advice about including a demo video above the fold to make it more interesting: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… #watchdog !private
