Built an onboarding form using youform and redirect to it from Lemonsqueezy checkout to avoid confusion after signup #watchdog !private
Make a sale for Watchdog while I was sleeping! First time this has happened for me on one of my own subscription products. Posted about it here: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… Negative: customer canceled immediately, now to find out why (I sent them a DM to ask if there's anything I could do better) #watchdog
Made the landing page dynamic i.e. show X screenshots when the user clicks on the X integration at the top - mostly doing this for SEO reasons because before Google didn't recognize my different landing pages as different pages because they were too similar #watchdog !private
Fixed chat ID handling to make sure old chat IDs ( >= 0) get properly generated links #watchdog !private
Get invited to the OpenAI o1 beta but decide to nix it for now because it’s wildly expensive and slow with low rate limits, and the cheaper mini model is only tuned for STEM use cases #watchdog !private
Make message URL sharing work across all Telegram group types. Telegram's developers are on hard drugs and return chat IDs that are invalid for link sharing, you need to manually format them yourself and remove the "-100" prefix 🤦‍♂️ #watchdog !private
Implemented alert forwarding to a channel instead of DMing each admin individually because a customer asked for it #watchdog !private
Add message links to Telegram rule violations because a customer asked for it. Only works with public telegram groups with usernames because Telegram is stupid and doesn't let you link to messages in other group types #watchdog !private
Redo landing page hero and take @alexstyl's advice about including a demo video above the fold to make it more interesting: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… #watchdog !private
Reply to League of Legends chat moderators who are negative on using #watchdog because they don't have any paid chat moderators (tell them it can still save them time, and happy to fine-tune for their subreddit) !private
Make the RuneScape subreddit moderators angry #watchdog !private
Sent DMs to 10+ Subreddits to see if they'll bite on the chat moderation problem that Watchdog is trying to solve #watchdog !private
Updated the headline for Watchdog to make more sense given most chat moderators are volunteers and weren't hired in the first place: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… #watchdog !private
Added an "alt" bot with a less obvious name because a new customer is worried about his users reacting poorly to a bot with "AI" in its name #watchdog !private
Hit $97 MRR with #watchdog because a new customer just signed up - very close to $100! !private
Get rate limited by reddit and disable recently added subreddits to "stop the bleeding" #watchdog !private
Disabled image processing on reddit because reddit has started making images hard to download directly and I'm hitting too many errors #watchdog !private
Try using the new json schema response format in OpenAI's API spec to avoid errors #watchdog !private
