    ** Last Week**

    • Chose $BOT coin by Voicebot founder as the Rally Creator Coin I’ll be using in AnnouncrBot
    • Joined the $BOT community and hung out on Discord
    • Obsessed about the coin price and watched it grow like wildfire every day. Just crazy
    • Simplified and redesigned the basic webform used to send messages and soundFx to an AnnouncrBot
    • Made a “Link to Rally” oAuth Flow to let users link accounts to Rally coin so I can reward creators with $BOT

    This Week

    • Build some content scheduling options which don't overly stress the server or cause me to build a bunch of scheduling jobs. I'm thinking of letting the AnnouncrBot handle its own scheduling, as it's best aware of its own Do Not Disturb hours, etc
    • Draft some language about using a Rally Coin with AnnouncrBot.
    • Test Channel creation and onboarding

    ** Goal for the month**

    • AnnouncrBot can subscribe to a channel and specify the schedule on which it receives the content
    • Approached 10 Creators to make channels with their tips, advice, audio blurbs, etc

    Project: AnnouncrBot!
    Delightful Content and Notifications Out Loud.

      Hi Dave,

      How's Announcr(Bot?) going?
      Seems I missed out on a "bot" rename?

        Hey man! Going awesome! I got massively involved in the Rally Creator Coin community as there is so much opportunity there. One thing led to another and I launched my own coin for play/game related stuff called $PLAY. Announcr gets launched in May finally, using $BOT coin as the currency (instead of USD)

        So it was kind of like a VC raise, but community support vs "investors"

          It's almost May... hope the launch will go well.
          Interesting on the digital currency bit, it is one of those things I've never really spent a lot of time on, but I do keep a bit of an eye on it.
          dacplay.org is you?

            No, I have a Rally Creator Coin, they're on a side chain so it allows for fast, free transactions. I applied for one, presented a plan/proposal, the community voted it in. https://rally.io/creator/PLAY/ and this is me: https://theplaycoin.com

    Late to the party, but better late than never. Have been flat out with the project, work, and life in general, but keen to get back into the weekly check-in rhythm.

    [Last Week]

    Despite the silence, we've kept moving forward, not standing still. Everything we planned to do in March has been completed, which is fantastic. This includes the B2B partner functionality, term one support functionality, and free Hour of Code sessions. In addition to that:

    • Implemented security fixes
    • Successfully completed classes for our first term
    • Promoted Hour of Code sessions on social media
    • Wrote first iterations of the cold outreach emails for coordinators

    [Next Week]

    • Launch holiday program for the first term
    • Extend free Hour of Code program
    • Promote all cohort events on social media
    • Reach 1-2 new B2B sales prospects

    [Goal for Month]

    • Segue into the holiday program and term 2 as smoothly as possible
    • Streamline/automate social media marketing for cohort events
    • Develop a regular system to approach B2B prospects
