I recorded another video for Google as I fight to get my extension's Gmail API access approved. I wish I could just get on a Zoom with a real human. I hate their bizarre Corporate dehumanizing responses. Plus, they're slow as fuck.

Emailed Google, begging them for a clear response to what their problem is with my extension's API access. I doubt they'll respond without more links to docs and vague corporate speech.... Stay far away from this company if you can. Don't use their API, cloud services, etc. Avoid at all cost.

More work on the AI writing. God I hate the gmail API!

Get approval for google auth *finally* #saasco

sent all the required info to get my google API access approved (so users don't have to see the embarassing 'unsafe' screen 😅) #wfhland

Get rejected by Google Cloud Platform for unknown reasons

working on gmail implementation for production

Another day, another round of Google extension rejection changes. I think I'm almost there. 🤞

I never want to build on a Google product EVER again. 🙅‍♂️ Everyday I have to make changes to appease them for my extension, that uses their API. They have me recording videos. Adding statements to the privacy policy. Rebranding! The entire thing. Ridiculous.

Made more changes to the extension because Google has no sense of humor. I keep getting rejected for the most minor things. At least they're thorough.

create google app for submission for review #speqt

Wow, Google is really giving me shit about my extension. Super nitpicking me to death.

more work on creating email filters via the Gmail API

Get Google OAuth approved so there's no account limits anymore #roomai

Finishing up the *last* bits of work on my extension. It's been months of slow work on this thing. So excited to launch. Gmail extensions are such a pain.

hit google apps script gmail rate limit cuz that's a thing apparently #japandev

Spend hours and hours pouring through the raw output gmail processes of my emails as nobody seems to be able to fix it, and find plenty of issues that are possible to fix so fix them - of course with tabs and spacing a lot of errors, because why process things nicely when you can do them horribly! My detest of google will outlive me (or hopefully them). Manage to figure out how to get it to respond to responsive fonts, of course it doesn't respect the actually set size and instead increases the baseline which makes it impossible to manage, so ultimately find a compromise whereby it's not too large on gmail, not too small on other phone clients - nobody will have it perfect. Email clients. The best. #creativity

Working on the extension backend Google App application. 🤞

configure api key for google maps geocoding so hopefully I wont exceed their api limit anymore #wip
