Gave a live demo to a very nice game server admin who responded to my inbound on Discord. Finding it helpful to have a test group where prospective customers can try Watchdog for themselves. #watchdog

Cold message 25 more leads manually: this time for Discord server admins to gauge interest. So far got 3 interested responses immediately which is a good sign. Can probably just keep selling this to game server owners as they experience a lot of spam/scams, good market for this I think 💡 #watchdog !private

Fixed a very tricky SSR issue and got Posthog working: turns out you can't nest a component (with a div) inside a <p> tag otherwise SSR will throw errors when you try to hydrate the component with JS (but it will "work" if you never hydrate the component) #watchdog

Fight with Astro + Vue + Posthog, for some reason posthog.init() is undefined in my Vue plugin - potentially some issue with SSR? /shrug #watchdog
