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. 😫

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.

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

send verification video for google auth #streaklife

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