Wow. @laravel logs rescued my sign-ups.

A small glitch during the save stopped user info from being added to the database.

But the log displays the full SQL attempt and allowed me to recover the data.

Bug fixed: worked on local, not in prod.
- saving email preferences as unchecked

pro: find encouragement along your building journey.
con: you still have to do real marketing and customer outreach.
@dagorenouf The execution:

Today's Lesson: funnel attrition

- not all emails get opened.
- not all open emails get clicked.
- not all clicked links create an account
- not all new accounts complete their profile (Ouch)

Getting @mouseflow to investigate.

Morning work:

- problem:
- people sign up
- arrive at the dashboard
- don't complete a profile
- fix:
- go from sign-up directly to "create profile"

@fialaerik Email the people one level above them and ask "who is the right person to speak about X?"

A @MicroConf speaker said he had a high response rate with this because their manager forwarded the email to them.

Spent all day debugging a PHP Guzzle Docker Laravel Sail issue for a feature that was working but broke.

Final fix: restart my laptop and it works again.

@_justlilian @adamlyttleapps TLDR: "I lost engagement when I stopped using twitter hashtags, here's what happened..."

Bottom:
If you have no audience, use hashtags to grow.
If you have an audience, hashtags won't matter.

The @tailwindcss pros/cons:

- Pros: plain English CSS names, well organized, never having to open my CSS file, smaller final CSS file.

- Cons: each div, span, a, h1 tag has 3 to 20 CSS classes.
