Gym, 30 min walk, help customer tune rules #watchdog #life

Fix nasty bug where image-only posts would get skipped for Discord communities 😬 #watchdog
Ship Q&A improvments: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… and www.linkedin.com/feed/update/… #watchdog
Ship overhauled and way more reliable logging to production and see the DB filling up as expected #watchdog
Completely rework message logging and make it way more detailed, include more messages beyond just rule violations to unblock a bunch of new features in my vision for V2 of #watchdog. Not in production yet, will be soon - despite this change looking very simple it required a huge rework of how I was logging things 😅
Upgrade from postgres 17.6 -> 18.1 #watchdog
rework message logging to start recording all messages, not just rule violations #watchdog
ship “get community” api for customer who is integrating #watchdog with their platform
Ship unattended activation for communities to better support customers who want to auto onboard communities using Watchdog's API: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… #watchdog
Clean up code that starts a new Telegram bot for each "whitelabeled" community and avoid tying a bot to a community 1-1, as the same bot can be shared across multiple communities now #watchdog
Ship ability to update community status via API because a customer asked who is building a platform on top of #watchdog
Ship excluding Discord roles from moderation for #watchdog in both the dashboard and the API: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/…
Write post about retiring the X integration (I'm not happy with the lack of post coverage due to sketchy browser rendering integration) but delete it after a customer assured me he loves the product and is recommending it to others #watchdog
Update ToS to remove wording about Lemon Squeezy since I migrated to Stripe long ago #watchdog
Work with new customer for a couple hours to figure out why tf #watchdog was not receiving messages for his group only to realize he forgot to give it view permissions to the channel. I must be sleepy today 🤦‍♂️
Fix discord mute punishment to work properly, and set the duration to 7d because a new trial customer asked #watchdog
