Schedule intro chat/demo with potential enterprise customer #watchdog
Fix customer's rule wording for him because certain posts were getting past the filter #watchdog
Solve X integration outage by manually copying the chrome profile from a known working browser to the server 😅 (X has started blocking AWS IPs from logging in apparently) #watchdog
Ignore already removed posts for X communities because I noticed the bot was rarely having trouble with these #watchdog
Get inspired because @marc said I should be making more than $1K MRR with #watchdog Researched a bit, found 20+ ideal customers and started a cold email sequence to try to get some bites EDIT: stopped the sequence, going to try a more personalized approach
See fix working (deploy at 9 pm) #watchdog
Deploy fix because I reverse engineered the X API wrong and missed another class of posts that can be sent to the timeline, let's see if this resolves things #watchdog
Ship big update to the X integration after a lot of testing: x.com/ben_makes_stuff/status/… www.linkedin.com/posts/benmak… #watchdog
Resolve outage and finish implementation on V2 X integration which should provide a lot more stability so I can stop getting paged and focus on other things, now testing it #watchdog
Find decisionmaker at enterprise co that has content moderation problems and ask friend who knows the decisionmaker to review cold email #watchdog
Pay second youtube influencer for new youtube video promoting Watchdog, let's see how it goes a few months from now #watchdog
Change community knowledgebase import behavior to not crawl all links on the page because people are submitting dumb links like wikipedia.org with 10000000 links to other pages, causing way too much network out + my traffic to get blackholed #watchdog
Start reworking the X integration for #watchdog to make it way more reliable and reduce the amount of browser rendering I'm doing (cannot avoid it entirely unfortunately) because I'm tired of getting paged every day
2nd trial signup in one day! First time someone has signed up for an annual plan on the spot, all previous cases have required me to do sales and hop on a call. #watchdog
New trial customer at $59/mo who seems legit (woohoo) and notice painful onboarding (not great). Customer signed up while I was asleep and asked me how to activate, probably time to automate onboarding with multiple people joining per month now. #watchdog
Publish new blog post: a buyers guide to community moderation tools: watchdog.chat/blog/ai-communi… #watchdog
Ship date filter for statistics #watchdog
Take call from old coworker who wanted to catch up, which turns out he meant he wanted to start a company with me and hire me as CTO. Decided to (respectfully) decline to keep working on #watchdog and other projects
Get MRR back to > $500 after closing a new customer at $59/mo #watchdog
Force X communities specifically to use a dropdown to select rules because it's a weird integration that requires rule names to match between Watchdog <-> X #watchdog
