Got some work done tonight for sendbroadcast.net!

Now possible to view recipient activity on email broadcast campaigns at the subscriber level...

Almost 1 release per day this week.

I think I'm going to take Sunday easy.

It's that time of the week(end) again.

Just released v0.6.0 of sendbroadcast.net with a whole bunch of updates.

And sent the 9th consecutive email to my customers detailing all the work that was done this past week.

Tomorrow: Time to update the docs (with more detailed instructions, screenshots)

One of the challenges of building a self-hosted application is that it's hard to get error reports.

Today, I'm working on a way for sendbroadcast.com customers to more easily report errors and send telemetry when issues happen.

Another way to look at this... "the perfect beta tester"

This blueskyroast by @fekri.io is hilarious 😂

Building in public... Saturday evening edition.

Creating the feature to rate limit outbound emails for sendbroadcast.com.

Added a nice little UI here to let users know that their list might require multiple email servers, especially if they set a rate limit too low.

Just saw this over on Reddit and on X.

Hetzner increases prices for their US-based cloud servers at Ashburn and Hillsboro data centres.

Aside from the prices, biggest change is that the included traffic goes from 20 TB to 1 TB.

If you didn’t know, there’s a starter pack for people who walk 10k per day.

Didn’t really qualify but Michiel added me and I told myself to walk more today so I wouldn’t feel like such an imposter.

Seriously, bsky is a health app now 😂

😂 not with this novelty racquet, but with a smaller yonex ezone

Playing around with the atproto firehose thing...

Trying to brainstorm some project ideas 🤔

The placeholder 🔥
November 25, 2024 at 8:19 PM
This is the one I want to join. But I’m not there.

Aspirational goal for me.

Will bookmark and come back 🤞
November 25, 2024 at 5:54 PM
You may not know this, but it take 3-4 clicks and a whole lot of typing to maintain these starter packs. 😂

Just sent out the weekly product update email to my customers using sendbroadcast.net.

Yep, the product uses itself to send updates about... itself.

I’ll take a stab: Something broke around the house and this makes things levelled again.

Like how I fixed my drawer with a 3d printed part 😂

Great work @norbertjurga.pl!

Doesn't even require login 😱
November 23, 2024 at 3:52 PM
Saw your call to action 😂
November 22, 2024 at 3:42 PM
LOL
November 22, 2024 at 12:48 PM
LOL... I just have to cross post this.

Mike's on the tax team.

Some bug fixes from issues discovered over night.

Now onto some other business ops tasks and marketing...
November 21, 2024 at 4:29 PM
I don’t know what I did, but I raised a kid who leaves this many unread messages for days.

Note to self: Never text this one for help.

Releasing automation (DRIP) email sequences today for
@sendbroadcast.com!

Will update the documentation and push the new package for users to upgrade.

Here is what it looks like to manually add subscribers (which can also be added via the API and through tags):
November 20, 2024 at 5:48 PM
Worked on @sendbroadcast.com this past week:

• Rewrote the DRIP sequence logic
• Fixed reordering the automation sequence steps
• Added functionality to add subscribers to sequences

And of course, like 30% more tests to the whole thing.
