Watchdog is now smart enough to handle short URLs! This used to be a guaranteed false positive, but it now automatically unrolls any short URLs and analyzes the real website being shared (allowed shortlink: google, blocked shortlink: pornhub) h/t @jasonleowsg #watchdog

Followed up with 50ish Discord server owners to ask them to use Watchdog, including garry of Garry's Mod, Rust, Facepunch games fame. Let's see if he responds, felt some nerves before sending that inbound but might as well shoot for the stars #watchdog

Post on X about a new A/B test to see if toast notifications help or hurt conversions: twitter.com/ben_makes_stuff/s… #watchdog !private

Fixed a bug just now where GPT-4o was sometimes adding extra spaces in the response and I wasn't handling it. If you use GPT-4o, give your code a look #watchdog !private

Watchdog got featured on an AI trending tools newsletter made by some random person - cool: aitoolreport.beehiiv.com/p/ne… #watchdog

Got accepted to BetaList - thanks @marckohlbrugge! Think this launch will bring more traffic since it'll occur on a random weekday, which will avoid my mistake with PH where I tried to launch on Sat like a total noob #watchdog

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

Overhauled the Watchdog pricing table just now, since it supports international language moderation and other things I forgot to mention before #watchdog

Changed "Offer expires in 12:23:45" countdown timer to a "For the first X customers" offer for accuracy #watchdog

Finally get approved for Microsoft for Startups after fighting with support and immediately apply for OpenAI credits #watchdog

Experiment more with PPC ads for Watchdog and find optimal CPC to get #1 spot while minimizing budget -- either way it's free because TAAFT gave me credits, just want to use em optimally #watchdog !private

Added an additional testimonial inline with the problem section, and added a fake toast for a chat mod to complete the story (h/t @jasonleowsg) #watchdog

@ben
Added some extra hype to @jasonleowsg's testimonial, highlighting the solved pain point and including his follower count #watchdog

@ben
Try A/B testing a positive header with a negative header for Watchdog to see if @screenfluent is right about positive messaging = more conversion #watchdog

@ben
Get some inspiration from @nico_jeannen's landing page and move the "recommended" text to the border for a better use of space (left is new, right is old) #watchdog #ux
