02 Share what you accomplished yesterday.
03 Share what you commit to accomplishing today.
04 Comment on at least one fellow hacker's progress and give them an IH Point for their check in.
Optional:
05 Share your Work In Progress to underscore your accomplishments.
06 (And an @AndrewV recommendation!) Need specific help/feedback, add a request!
Then tune in the tomorrow to share how you did on your own tasks!
EPIC
By end of Jan:
✅ Done - Have my personal website live with mailing list.
By end of Feb:
Yesterday
Today
When you figure it out 50 mailing list subscribers magnet, let us all know!
EPIC
By end of 2019:
Get 100 paying customers. 0/100 so far
By end of February:
Publically release of Brooklet to IOS and Android app stores.
Get 15 Beta testers. 4/15 so far
YESTERDAY
Work on the privacy policy. I was reading through the pre-made one I had originally used and it doesn't line up at all with what I want from Brooklet.
TODAY
Finish Privacy Policy
KUDOS
To the anonymous Indiehacker who spent a whole day discussing privacy matters with me over email.
WIP - Brooklet
Any chance you discovered whether JWTs are exempt?
GDPR
From the reading I've done so far, you need to indicate what data you're collecting and for what reason. I think you also need to indicate how data is transferred securely. JWT is the mechanism for transmission so you might say something like "User data is transferred securely to the server via JSON Web Tokens".
I'm no lawyer.
Exempt from what? :)
Let us know what you come up with for the privacy policy, if it's custom or off the shelf.
I was considering https://getterms.io for future projects.
I took a look at that but decided to research it a bit more.
I'm trying to conform to CalOPPA and GDPR. I have a contact who has just executed the whole GDPR thing, I'll talk to him and report back with my findings.

EPIC
By end of 2019:
100 Users for ScheduledMemo.com: 3/100
10 Paying Customer for AutomatedApi: launch pending
By End of February:
Refactor some Scheduled Memo code into more reusable parts so I can shift it into Automated Api pipeline.
Get Automated API up and running with a limited Alpha group.
YESTERDAY
✓ posted a formalish announcement on IH, which I felt good about
✓ Review of Automated API is underway, I'm back in the code and ready to roll
FAILED: most everything else, I needed a break. I did however resolve myself to focusing on Automated API since it is far more likely to be a revenue generator quickly than WallabyVault would be.
TODAY
KUDOS: @samlevy for launching your personal site, I like that as a first step. Something simple and public and a good spot to iterate from.
WORK IN PROGRESS: AutomatedApi.com
@jpusateri you have a typo in the second paragraph https://automatedapi.com/Home/About
thanks, I'll have that updated today :)
DAMN IT! I just discovered that my dick pic detection (a.k.a face recognition) is too damn picky. Which is likely why last weeks new campaign was substantively less successful than expected. Ugh. When I think of all those first chapters I missed out on!
Also, "doing shit that doesn't scale" is a time suck. In the evenings, I haven't time to do anything but "doing shit that doesn't scale". The investment is paying off as the ratio of chicks posting is improving, but damn. The effort takes all my after work hours. This weekend, I really need focus on automating.
Having written the above, I'll concede that I've learned a great deal (like my dick pic detection is too keen) keeping the first weeks in manual mode.

WORK IN PROGRESS: Happy Endings
And congrats on another epic completed!
Thank you! Trying to savor it. But can't help to note the mountain I've yet to scale...
What shit that doesn't scale are you doing to bring on more females?
I'm manually contacting chicks on competitor sites and asking them to republish their work. Questionable tactics, for sure. And perhaps even more questionable once I automate the process.
What's your take? I'm alternately racked with guilt and "by-any-means-necessary".
I'd say that's definitely right on the line of questionable and startup hustle. If I were you, I'd stop and try to find a better, more sustainable way.
(Smiling) Well it is sustainable. What do you find questionable? And curious whether you find AirBnB's start up tactic,scraping Craig's List, equally questionable?
Not sustainable in a couple senses...
If I imagine that the competing platform would boot you off if aware of your tactics, then that to me is a sign of a questionable tactic that is better left untapped (my personal opinion).
I see your point with AirBnB, it's definitely a gray area. I'm not sure I have anything besides an "icky" vibe telling me it's questionable.
Pushing back. Just a touch. (Smiling) Being defensive has nothing to do about it.
Did I say it was impossible to automate? That's not correct. And in fact, with the life line offered by @AndrewV, I may be automated sooner rather than later.
Maybe. Both are... vintage.
And just to be clear. I'm not snagging content. (Which in my mind is a no-go without user permission.) I'm asking users if they'd be interested in publishing a first chapter on Happy Endings.
For me, it hasn't hit the icky point such that creating fake users has. (Although many a great community was started with that particular tactic.) But it solidly in the questionable arena. (And super effective.)
Having disagreements and back-and-forths is what this is all about 👍🏼.
And you're right, I misread what "questionable" meant for automation, my bad.

KUDOS to @helengriffinjr for job hunting AND indiehacking

Movie Medium sounds fun! What the "getting more promising" bit?
I made a simple version that I've been playing with a super enthusiastic small group. And every time I mention it to a movie lover, they ask when they can start playing.
So I think it's time to build out a way for anyone to create a group and start playing.
Has it gotten clearer if DepChecker is helping your dev buddies? Or has Movie Medium gain more traction and your attention to work on it instead?
Unfortunately no, I sat down with my dev colleague and learned a bit more about his goals, but he hasn't officially begun using DepChecker yet. Just gonna wait and see on that one.
And I've been just refactoring my chaotic early code for Movie Medium this past week or so, learning more about building larger Node apps etc. as the next version will be some unchartered waters for me in terms of complexity. It's a hit with my buddies and anyone we mention the idea to, so trying to prepare it for public use.
Thanks for checking in! Gotta not be such a lazy ass and get back to the daily standups....
No problem, I got you. Good luck on leveling up on Node. So you got people using Movie Medium even w/ it's chaotic early code? If so, maybe that's where your attention/talents should be applied to. Have you test folks' allergic reaction to monetization for Movie Medium yet?

Sorry for the late reply.
Thank you!
Personally I think it could use some work, but it is great to hear that it is passing the quality check for other people.
