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 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.

I really think Google is trying to prevent me from releasing my Gmail tool. I've spent MONTHS working on this thing. They keep denying access to the Gmail API. Any ideas how to get this approved?

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.

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

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

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

sent for review to Google team for requesting gmail api access - to handle gmail with AI

More changes to the extension code to appease the overlords, Google. They did actually find one good mistake but holy crap, their communication is so bad.

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.

Shake my head that the YT backlog for creation and artist management of artist account (but not linking) is 4 - 6 weeks. Upload official first single video because apparently it will just "know" to replace the non-video official single audio with the video. My dislike of Google continues. #ep

Made more changes for Google for the extension. It's been round after round with them. 😫

Realize I'm paying hundreds $ in bandwidth fees to Google for AI bots crawling my pages. Frustrated beyond words with these bandwidth charges.

Working on the extension backend Google App application. 🤞

Resubmitted my extension for Google to review. 🤞

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.

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