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

Modify telegram bot lib that I was using because they forgot to pass the "topic id" which meant Watchdog failed to route alerts to groups with topics enabled prior to this fix #watchdog !private

See Build in Public logs live using real data in the newly deployed dashboard - it's done! #watchdog !private

See Watchdog's dashboard working in production with the correct dates in the correct timezones. Just need to fix some minor CSS and spacing issues as you can see #watchdog !private

Finish frontend integration with the rule violation log endpoint and realize I fucked up time zone handling, working on a minor fix before pushing it to prod #watchdog !private

Finish backend endpoint to fetch community rule violation logs and seed database with all of the stuff I had hardcoded before #watchdog !private

Do a big backend refactor, add Clerk auth on the backend, set up health endpoint, and deploy API module (separate from the bot module) to be used for the dashboard. Now to hook up the dashboard frontend which is already built to the API #watchdog !private
