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
Make a sale for Watchdog while I was sleeping! First time this has happened for me on one of my own subscription products.

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
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
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
