Google is still blocking the release of my Gmail extension. 6 months of hard work is basically stuck in limbo. I'm not sure what to do or what they even want at this point. Extremely frustrating and disappointing. It's like dealing with an outsourced call center. I'm going to try again with another demo video. Not sure what else to do at this point.

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.

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. 🤞

Regain access to my personal Gmail / Google account after they closed it for weeks because they auto unsubscribed me from my extra storage plan, and my account was already past the storage limit, and they required me to verify my identity before allowing me to keep paying for storage (???) so I couldn't access my personal email or documents for days until they finally verified me #life

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

Google doesn't seem willing to collaborate on the last step needed to finally have my blog moved 😢 #remotemontes

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.
