If anyone uses #firestore in their project and wants to import/export and query their data way easier, I came across @firefooapp tonight and it’s been amazing!

#indiehackers #buildinpublic

I’ve solved the #dialogflow 5s timeout issue!!! 🎉

(at least for my use case)

DM’s are open 🤣

3 nights this week I've been up to 2am trying to get code to work 😭

This morning I was about to give up and give in to a shitty fix.

Tonight I implemented a rather nice (but slow) work-around. Work still to do but MVP finishes soon 💪

Calling #dialogflow experts!

I’ve got a problem when I call “session_client.detect_intent” from my Flask app.

The call hits the webhook but hits the 5s deadline _every_ time - even if it’s just to retrieve “Hello World”

It’s acting as if… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

It’s going to be a late night tonight for this #indiehacker .

I’ll be listening to a few Pink Floyd albums to keep me going #buildinpublic #startuplife

Travelling with work for the “real” job this week.

The travel is a hassle but it means I get a few nights without child and dog to get some coding done back at the hotel 💪

Thinking of putting an interactive ‘demo’ form on the landing page rather than the current crappy gif demonstrating the value proposition.

My gut feel is it improves engagement but it’s more the dev work and detracts from marketing efforts.

Still (very) low DAU on my landing page.

I'm working on it and I appreciate there's lots of improvements to be made but more of a heartbeat would be nice 😀

Will keep going though, progress in SEO is never as fast as you'd like it to be.

Decided to buy foodgpt.chat for a bit of fun and point it at my domain.

On a more serious note, if I have Google Analytics setup on my domain, can I track if users come in via forwarding domains?

I’ve spent the weekend getting blogging up and running on friendlyfoodtracker.com/blog

Guess this means I’m moving to the marketing phase! Time to SEO this bad boy!

The @semrush free offering looks like it’ll be my best friend for the foreseeable.

I noticed a bug on friendlyfoodtracker.com this week that meant all successful signups still couldn’t actually use the app once they signed in.

I did wonder why activations were zero even though traffic was higher. Doh!

#indiehackers #fails #buildinpublic

Hey #indiehackers I’ve got a landing page on #webflow and the knowledge base for my app on Notion.

But I reckon moving the KB to the landing page increases content and then SEO.

Is there an easy way to do this? Anyone got any examples they can share?

Do any #indiehackers use Twilio for WhatsApp messaging?

My TwiML fetch time is 11 secs and this metric seems to be consuming my entire headspace!

How do I reduce this? The Twilio sandbox experience is rapid but rolling out to production slows it all down.

I think I might have stumbled across the perfect pricing strategy for friendlyfoodtracker.com

I just need to turn the prototype into something people would pay money for before I can test the strategy 😀

#indiehackers #buildinpublic

It’s nice to have had people actually sign up for my product this week - even the ones who immediately churned!

I’ve learnt a lot and have a bit of an indicator on what to look at next (especially my onboarding).

What am I supposed to do now #ChatGPT ? 😭

No #buildinpublic tonight then 😏

Some decent progress on the WhatsApp project this weekend #indiehackers

1. Put a check in place to make sure only registered users can use the service

2. Coded up a “show history” plus “delete last entry” command
