Discover a new use case for Watchdog now that multiple people have asked for it: answering questions for new community members and do some requirements gathering with a potential new customer #watchdog
Get very positive feedback from the customer that asked for whitelisting (boss status confirmed 😎) #watchdog
Ship whitelisting because a customer asked for it: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… #watchdog
Upgrade to Tailwind CSS 4.x #watchdog
See #watchdog removing porn + offensive message spam in a customer's huge telegram group - exactly the kind of bullshit I hoped it would be able to remove when I first built the product!
Ship conditional/advanced rule enforcement to production after a bunch of work: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… - built this in a modular way because I had another customer ask for "only enforce rule during 5 AM to 9 AM" which is something I may add as another "enforce after" type, and now it's easy to extend #watchdog
Finish bot implementation and SQL for filtered rules, now to integration test everything when I wake up 💤 #watchdog
Use Go generics to extract punishment filters for all integrations into a common place so I can add "Enforce After" checks today and greatly reduce code duplication to make features easier to implement in the future #watchdog
Finish updating all string[] punishment references to use the new punishment object in preparation to make the bot respect "enforce after" -> "multiple violations" #watchdog
Make test case error message show up on multiple lines to make it easier to read #watchdog
Get nice feedback from a new customer about the #watchdog dashboard, will add this to the landing page after I finish the big feature build I'm working on
Ship advanced punishment CRUD stuff to prod and re-test in prod to make sure it works (it does 🎉). Now to update the bot to correctly filter punishments depending on how many violations have occurred #watchdog
Get serious about tracking revenue, expenses, net income, and profit margin as cloud credits are about to expire and enter the first month: Jan 2024. Realize that Gemini 2.0 Flash in place of GPT-4o will double my profit margin and give users better results based on benchmarks #watchdog
Ignore messages from bots because I have a new customer with a shit ton of bots in his community and Watchdog flags them once in a while (valid flags, but community owner wants bots immune from the rules) #watchdog
Begin integration testing frontend and backend for advanced punishment functionality #watchdog
Get my first ever customer from one of the smallest countries in the world, Luxembourg 🇱🇺 I googled it out of curiosity and it seems like a cool place #watchdog
Hit 60 google search clicks in 1 month #watchdog
Figure out why 1% of messages fail to process for X integrations - it's a case where a moderator hides the post while Watchdog is trying to hide it in parallel #watchdog
Fix bug that was causing data to get clobbered when "edit" was selected, ensure "add a punishment" always shows up at the bottom of the table so multiple punishments can be added #watchdog
Confirm "edit" modal for advanced punishment enforcement is working, now to make it look a bit nicer #watchdog
