Finally! watchdog.chat is unblocked on LinkedIn a full month after getting blacklisted on SURBL. LinkedIn support was 100% useless so I think some automated process took care of this one instead of their support team. #watchdog

Removed free trials for Watchdog and added a "Try on Discord/Telegram" button instead to let people try bot for free #watchdog

Added some new alternative pages to Watchdog: Mee6 and Dyno. These bots do chat moderation, but only at a basic level and encounter too many false positives: watchdog.chat/compare/mee6-al… and watchdog.chat/compare/dyno-al… #watchdog

Made an alternative page showing how much better Watchdog is compared to the competition: watchdog.chat/compare/the-joi… #watchdog

Made the toast notifications that show up on Watchdog's homepage end on a positive note and removed a couple notifications for brevity. Running under an A/B test for a week to see if it helps! #watchdog

Added a new feature for Watchdog: intelligent group mention analysis and posted on X about it: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… Demo: youtu.be/Sx2cWhJcqUA #watchdog !private

Watchdog is now smart enough to handle short URLs! This used to be a guaranteed false positive, but it now automatically unrolls any short URLs and analyzes the real website being shared (allowed shortlink: google, blocked shortlink: pornhub) h/t @jasonleowsg #watchdog

Followed up with 50ish Discord server owners to ask them to use Watchdog, including garry of Garry's Mod, Rust, Facepunch games fame. Let's see if he responds, felt some nerves before sending that inbound but might as well shoot for the stars #watchdog

Post on X about a new A/B test to see if toast notifications help or hurt conversions: twitter.com/ben_makes_stuff/s… #watchdog !private

Fixed a bug just now where GPT-4o was sometimes adding extra spaces in the response and I wasn't handling it. If you use GPT-4o, give your code a look #watchdog !private

Watchdog got featured on an AI trending tools newsletter made by some random person - cool: aitoolreport.beehiiv.com/p/ne… #watchdog

Got accepted to BetaList - thanks @marckohlbrugge! Think this launch will bring more traffic since it'll occur on a random weekday, which will avoid my mistake with PH where I tried to launch on Sat like a total noob #watchdog
