Building Eager.app, a customer support platform

Working on a in-app plan builder for

Raising prices on January 1st from the current launch plan. By far, getting the pricing table "just right" and makes sense is the hardest part...

Added a click to Copy for the documentation site

I use my own product for the documentation site. One thing I wanted was a easy way for code snippets to be easily copyable with a click to copy. Added it tonight 😊.

Code automatically detects when a
 tag is used for code snippets, and will automatically add the "Copy" button.
    

Checked my marketing website using Google Lighthouse

So some random Twitter person commented on my site as having a poor experience and started questioning user accessibility. So naturally I ran Google Lighthouse to see if the comment is valid. That person seems to be selling some sort of user accessibility app... so πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ .

Of course I'm always looking for ways of improving my site, so if anyone notices anything that isn't already recommended by Google Lighthouse, let me know.

No… surprisingly it wasn't! What took me 4 days was a feature to let users organize multiple customers under a single company. There were so many touch points for this that the scope of the project ended up affecting 110 files.

Activated secondary storage system, storing older assets to secondary (cold) system

Added feature to group customers into companies

Took 4 days to build! Thought it would be a quick afternoon project. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Happy with the results though... 😊

Fighting with deliverability issues to Outlook.com

Finally got it figured out (again), but a few things still need to be updated in code. Long version: Many, many months ago, I figured out how to get mail to the Inbox in Outlook.com. If you search Google, you'll see it's notoriously difficult as Outlook.com randomly bans IP addresses, and doesn't de-list IPs even with reasonable requests. Figured out a long term solution to this today.

Short version: Do not recommend Outlook.com's email service. They will randomly drop legitimate emails, and most end up in spam when it shouldn't.

Released v2 of landing page for eager.app

It took a few weeks to get everything right. I'm sure there are typos and things I'll need to correct. But you know what they say... "Better finished than perfect."

More tax filings for the business

I think I must dedicate about 7-10 days a year doing government filings.
