Don’t feel bad if you’re not being your most productive for a period of time. Sometimes it’s good to slow down a bit or take a break.

spirit, sharing successes & failures…
Last week I did some data cleanup and accidentally deleted two customers’ sites.
I’m on Supabase free plan, so no backups.
Had to restore them manually and ask the affected customers to create new DNS records.

Lots of small fixes deployed today:
- better input validations
- show/hide password
- back to dashboard button
- bounced email webhook
All based off requests from customers.
Small changes that contribute to a better app overall ⭐️

📤 Almost done implementing email automation for Cloakist
This diagram shows a simplified version. Edge cases, multiple sites in different states, subscription quotas, etc. are also handled.
For this I chose
@sidemailio
, it's lightweight and has an awesome API

Today’s was one of those: “fixing stuff while chatting to customer on web chat” days 😅
Also… transactional email automation is starting to take shape. This will reduce support efforts by at least 1 to 2 days per week 🤖
