Ship huge update to Watchdog including community/rule management tooling for all customers and post about it. Required a rework of the bot and the API layer as a config file was used before, and now everything is in the DB (made about 5 different tables, wrote 10ish queries for different use cases, updated all codepaths, and re-tested everything - now it's time to sleep 😅): x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… and www.linkedin.com/feed/update/… #watchdog !private
