Alan: Cool.

00:00:00.748 --> 00:00:01.328
All right, we're

00:00:01.328 --> 00:00:01.987
hear what's

00:00:02.007 --> 00:00:02.178
what's

00:00:02.178 --> 00:00:02.478
new.

00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:04.440
Mario: So what's new.

00:00:04.450 --> 00:00:06.220
Let's see, let me look at my notes

00:00:06.220 --> 00:00:06.790
here.

00:00:07.099 --> 00:00:11.329
So the issue with remote
controlled recording was resolved

00:00:11.567 --> 00:00:12.317
Alan: the big one, right?

00:00:12.317 --> 00:00:12.527
Yeah.

00:00:12.889 --> 00:00:13.369
Mario: Yeah.

00:00:14.659 --> 00:00:18.259
Well, recording was never broken itself.

00:00:18.259 --> 00:00:18.499
Alan: wasn't

00:00:18.499 --> 00:00:19.249
auto starting.

00:00:19.249 --> 00:00:19.519
Right.

00:00:19.572 --> 00:00:19.962
Mario: Yeah.

00:00:19.962 --> 00:00:24.582
So it wasn't really working properly with
some of the changes that I introduced.

00:00:24.645 --> 00:00:28.035
The reason I was asking you earlier,
if you could see the record button

00:00:28.035 --> 00:00:31.935
is because there's an new setting
now at the podcast level where

00:00:31.935 --> 00:00:36.505
the host has full control of
recording for everyone in the session.

00:00:36.985 --> 00:00:42.085
So if, if you turn that feature on, then
only the host has the record button.

00:00:42.085 --> 00:00:44.485
When the host clicks record, then everyone

00:00:44.485 --> 00:00:47.018
starts recording automatically locally.

00:00:46.998 --> 00:00:50.559
Alan: So yeah, effectively you can
buy that being the the controller

00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:52.749
of the podcast, you have the
recording, you're like, okay,

00:00:52.749 --> 00:00:53.889
we're going to start recording now.

00:00:54.129 --> 00:00:54.759
It, and that's it.

00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:55.299
And no one has to,

00:00:55.409 --> 00:00:55.959
then that's nice.

00:00:56.191 --> 00:00:56.461
Mario: yeah,

00:00:56.559 --> 00:00:58.359
Alan: That that's probably better than the

00:00:58.419 --> 00:00:59.289
auto recording

00:00:59.289 --> 00:00:59.589
idea.

00:00:59.619 --> 00:00:59.979
Right.

00:01:00.279 --> 00:01:02.139
So rather than it being like

00:01:02.139 --> 00:01:03.939
dropping everybody into auto
recording, it's actually

00:01:03.939 --> 00:01:07.299
just controlled and you can effectively
introduce it and make sure everybody's

00:01:07.299 --> 00:01:08.079
happy And then

00:01:08.109 --> 00:01:08.589
kick it off.

00:01:08.589 --> 00:01:08.829
Right.

00:01:09.001 --> 00:01:09.301
Mario: Yeah.

00:01:09.361 --> 00:01:10.051
exactly.

00:01:10.261 --> 00:01:13.381
And the option to auto start
recording is still there.

00:01:13.381 --> 00:01:15.361
It's just in case someone wants that.

00:01:15.631 --> 00:01:18.541
So, so that that's still there,
but it's, you know, you can

00:01:18.541 --> 00:01:19.861
turn it on and you turn it off.

00:01:19.921 --> 00:01:22.771
if you don't like it at the podcast level.

00:01:22.922 --> 00:01:25.772
what happened was when I
introduced that new feature

00:01:25.802 --> 00:01:30.262
with a remote control recording
all of a sudden the actual remote

00:01:30.262 --> 00:01:31.612
controlled recording wasn't

00:01:31.612 --> 00:01:32.703
working the,

00:01:33.363 --> 00:01:37.735
it seemed like the message wasn't getting
across, you know, to the other browsers

00:01:37.793 --> 00:01:40.313
Alan: wasn't getting the message
to, to start recording, right?

00:01:41.183 --> 00:01:41.243
Yeah.

00:01:41.243 --> 00:01:41.633
Mario: Yeah.

00:01:41.663 --> 00:01:44.813
And so the, we, our thing
was that it was working.

00:01:45.125 --> 00:01:46.985
On my development environment, and it

00:01:46.985 --> 00:01:49.775
was working on the staging environment,

00:01:49.817 --> 00:01:50.777
Alan: And who was working on that.

00:01:50.777 --> 00:01:53.567
So you set it up and staging
was just working and you're

00:01:53.567 --> 00:01:54.377
like, what the hell?

00:01:54.554 --> 00:01:59.066
Mario: yeah, So but wasn't working
in production, which is when I

00:01:59.066 --> 00:02:04.167
inadvertently broke remote recording in
effect because it was working locally.

00:02:04.167 --> 00:02:04.707
It was fine.

00:02:04.707 --> 00:02:07.587
So I didn't know I was pushing
something that was not going to work

00:02:07.587 --> 00:02:10.707
in production, so I didn't have a
staging environment at the time.

00:02:10.737 --> 00:02:14.517
So this kind of forced me to
set up a staging environment.

00:02:14.517 --> 00:02:18.837
That's, you know, identically replicates
the production environment And I pushed it

00:02:18.837 --> 00:02:21.147
to staging and it worked to there as well.

00:02:22.027 --> 00:02:25.197
And I was like, man, what
the heck is going on?

00:02:25.197 --> 00:02:31.074
So long story short, I did a lot of
debugging and logging and troubleshooting.

00:02:31.074 --> 00:02:36.130
And it took forever, but finally narrowed
it down to something in the bill.

00:02:36.140 --> 00:02:40.450
So the fact that it was working in,
in my local environment and staging

00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.979
and not in production, it kind
of pointed to the build process

00:02:44.979 --> 00:02:46.479
because the only difference

00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.859
between those three environments was that
the code for production gets minified

00:02:50.889 --> 00:02:53.709
and mangled, you know,
JavaScript gets mangled.

00:02:53.709 --> 00:02:57.069
So something in that built
process for production

00:02:57.069 --> 00:02:59.192
was affecting my code somehow.

00:02:59.192 --> 00:02:59.882
so.

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.670
Alan: of it was working like the
rest of the interface was working.

00:03:02.670 --> 00:03:03.780
It was just that

00:03:03.780 --> 00:03:04.110
part.

00:03:04.110 --> 00:03:04.410
Right.

00:03:04.410 --> 00:03:05.640
Mario: It was just that one,

00:03:05.827 --> 00:03:08.347
Alan: It's like, if your UI
doesn't work at all, you're

00:03:08.347 --> 00:03:09.127
like, all right, we've got a

00:03:09.127 --> 00:03:09.787
JavaScript problem.

00:03:09.787 --> 00:03:09.967
right.

00:03:09.967 --> 00:03:10.567
But just that

00:03:10.657 --> 00:03:10.837
little

00:03:10.837 --> 00:03:11.227
bit, right.

00:03:11.227 --> 00:03:11.647
Mario: Yeah.

00:03:11.707 --> 00:03:12.127
Yeah.

00:03:12.127 --> 00:03:15.654
so after a lot of debugging I
finally found the part of the

00:03:15.654 --> 00:03:17.499
code that was causing the problem.

00:03:17.509 --> 00:03:21.586
So interestingly enough, I had
a, method that was relying.

00:03:21.601 --> 00:03:27.501
It was attempting to determine the name
of the class of a JavaScript object.

00:03:27.578 --> 00:03:31.489
And in doing that, it was
relying On a statement that does

00:03:31.613 --> 00:03:34.753
object.constructor.name, basically.

00:03:34.753 --> 00:03:37.800
So  it pulls the name of
the constructor, which

00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.109
is theoretically the name of the class.

00:03:40.172 --> 00:03:41.242
And it works in.

00:03:42.057 --> 00:03:44.697
And when, well, it gets mangled.

00:03:44.997 --> 00:03:45.507
So

00:03:45.655 --> 00:03:45.925
Alan: Right.

00:03:45.955 --> 00:03:46.465
Yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:03:46.587 --> 00:03:46.917
Mario: gated.

00:03:46.947 --> 00:03:47.277
yeah.

00:03:47.277 --> 00:03:48.597
It gets office gated.

00:03:48.627 --> 00:03:53.060
And so it changes the name
arbitrarily every time it builds for

00:03:53.060 --> 00:03:55.241
production, it was, mangling that.

00:03:55.257 --> 00:03:59.951
and so it was changing to like a single
letter, you know, T or F or whatever,

00:04:00.888 --> 00:04:01.098
Alan: yep.

00:04:01.128 --> 00:04:01.338
Yeah, of

00:04:01.338 --> 00:04:01.638
course.

00:04:01.781 --> 00:04:02.441
Mario: every time.

00:04:02.441 --> 00:04:05.291
So, the lesson here is not to rely

00:04:05.291 --> 00:04:06.731
on constructor dot name.

00:04:06.941 --> 00:04:08.261
And subsequently I

00:04:08.261 --> 00:04:10.901
found all these warnings,
people have posted on stack

00:04:10.901 --> 00:04:11.381
overflow.

00:04:11.381 --> 00:04:14.411
Don't do this because
it'll, you know, it'll,

00:04:14.450 --> 00:04:16.100
It'll change it arbitrarily when your

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:17.300
code gets office gated.

00:04:17.434 --> 00:04:19.444
a little too late for me yet for spending

00:04:19.444 --> 00:04:20.284
so much time.

00:04:20.314 --> 00:04:21.472
But that was the

00:04:21.472 --> 00:04:21.892
reason

00:04:21.970 --> 00:04:23.260
Alan: won't make that
mistake again though.

00:04:23.290 --> 00:04:23.620
That's For

00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:23.860
shit.

00:04:24.370 --> 00:04:25.360
You've learned it the hard way.

00:04:25.792 --> 00:04:26.512
Mario: For sure.

00:04:27.242 --> 00:04:29.339
Yeah, but it made sense after the

00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:30.839
fact why it wasn't working in

00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.359
production and it was
working everywhere else.

00:04:33.354 --> 00:04:37.133
Because it was only for production
that it was getting obfuscated,

00:04:37.153 --> 00:04:38.623
therefore changing the name

00:04:38.642 --> 00:04:38.732
Alan: that

00:04:38.732 --> 00:04:39.812
w wouldn't even like,

00:04:39.812 --> 00:04:41.552
It wouldn't even cause like
a JavaScript error because

00:04:41.552 --> 00:04:42.542
it's still valid.

00:04:42.542 --> 00:04:46.112
JavaScript is just the wrong
method or the wrong object.

00:04:46.112 --> 00:04:46.682
It's trying to call it.

00:04:46.682 --> 00:04:46.892
Right.

00:04:46.892 --> 00:04:47.072
So

00:04:47.825 --> 00:04:48.635
Mario: Exactly.

00:04:48.635 --> 00:04:48.815
And

00:04:48.932 --> 00:04:50.222
Alan: It's not just like invalidated

00:04:50.222 --> 00:04:50.342
mode.

00:04:50.342 --> 00:04:51.122
It's just not there.

00:04:51.122 --> 00:04:51.392
So it's

00:04:51.392 --> 00:04:51.692
like, oh,

00:04:51.825 --> 00:04:53.035
Mario: it is just not there.

00:04:53.035 --> 00:04:53.715
There's no error.

00:04:53.715 --> 00:04:53.985
And that's

00:04:53.985 --> 00:04:57.755
why I never got any error because the
real problem was I had a conditional

00:04:57.755 --> 00:04:59.317
statement that said, if this

00:04:59.317 --> 00:05:01.417
object equals this class

00:05:01.417 --> 00:05:03.443
name right, then do this.

00:05:03.475 --> 00:05:06.625
And so it was never that class
name because it was obfuscated.

00:05:06.743 --> 00:05:06.925
Alan: that's

00:05:06.925 --> 00:05:07.315
Mario: So.

00:05:07.493 --> 00:05:09.653
Alan: It's just getting
silently eaten because it's not

00:05:09.653 --> 00:05:10.013
an error.

00:05:10.073 --> 00:05:11.093
It's just not there.

00:05:11.215 --> 00:05:11.725
Mario: an error.

00:05:11.905 --> 00:05:12.445
Yeah.

00:05:12.481 --> 00:05:14.101
when I finally fixed it, I was

00:05:14.104 --> 00:05:14.807
it felt great.

00:05:15.503 --> 00:05:17.063
so that was that, and that

00:05:17.063 --> 00:05:17.353
was the

00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:18.610
Alan: massive relief.

00:05:19.479 --> 00:05:19.959
Mario: Yeah.

00:05:19.989 --> 00:05:22.119
So now, now this feature
works really well.

00:05:22.119 --> 00:05:23.019
Now the host can

00:05:23.019 --> 00:05:25.373
control everyone's recording status.

00:05:25.395 --> 00:05:27.465
And everyone gets a
message though, you know?

00:05:27.465 --> 00:05:32.865
So when the host initiates recording,
everyone gets a little message that pops

00:05:32.865 --> 00:05:35.235
up and lets them know what's going on.

00:05:35.313 --> 00:05:35.853
Let's see.

00:05:35.853 --> 00:05:37.023
Then the next thing that.

00:05:37.023 --> 00:05:37.113
I

00:05:37.113 --> 00:05:37.513
worked.

00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.032
Yeah, let's see.

00:05:39.032 --> 00:05:41.869
The other thing I did
was scheduled sessions.

00:05:41.899 --> 00:05:45.289
Now show info if the link
is accessed too early.

00:05:45.349 --> 00:05:47.659
And I think that was your suggestion.

00:05:47.692 --> 00:05:51.143
A while back you suggested,
well, if the session is scheduled

00:05:51.143 --> 00:05:52.516
and they followed the link.

00:05:52.549 --> 00:05:54.799
There was nothing telling them
anything about the session.

00:05:54.799 --> 00:05:58.269
It was just, you know, acting
normally showing you the button to

00:05:58.269 --> 00:06:00.849
join and enter your name and join.

00:06:00.849 --> 00:06:02.409
So now a scheduled

00:06:02.409 --> 00:06:06.482
session when they access it early,
it basically says, this session is

00:06:06.482 --> 00:06:09.168
scheduled for such and such date and time.

00:06:09.195 --> 00:06:09.795
And then

00:06:09.775 --> 00:06:11.676
it has a little explanation there that

00:06:11.676 --> 00:06:15.520
says it all happened automatically,
so no need to refresh the page.

00:06:15.623 --> 00:06:15.983
Alan: Nice.

00:06:16.283 --> 00:06:20.353
and so because, and That the URL is like
obvious skated anyway, using hashtag.

00:06:20.633 --> 00:06:23.873
So it's not like any old
stumble across it so, Yeah.

00:06:24.293 --> 00:06:25.043
Nice, cool.

00:06:25.223 --> 00:06:25.433
That's a

00:06:25.433 --> 00:06:25.553
good

00:06:25.780 --> 00:06:26.140
Mario: Yeah.

00:06:26.260 --> 00:06:26.590
Yeah.

00:06:26.590 --> 00:06:28.210
So thank you for that suggestion,

00:06:28.373 --> 00:06:28.583
Alan: Oh yeah.

00:06:28.763 --> 00:06:29.273
That was my idea.

00:06:29.273 --> 00:06:30.083
So it was a great idea that

00:06:31.030 --> 00:06:31.120
Mario: that

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:31.540
was great.

00:06:31.540 --> 00:06:31.720
Yeah,

00:06:33.010 --> 00:06:33.430
yeah.

00:06:33.550 --> 00:06:33.850
Yeah.

00:06:33.880 --> 00:06:35.680
So that's, that's in now.

00:06:35.744 --> 00:06:35.894
You

00:06:35.894 --> 00:06:37.124
probably didn't see it this time

00:06:37.124 --> 00:06:39.884
because the scheduled time was like a

00:06:39.884 --> 00:06:40.604
minute later

00:06:40.604 --> 00:06:40.724
or

00:06:40.957 --> 00:06:41.227
Alan: Yeah.

00:06:41.227 --> 00:06:41.407
Yeah.

00:06:41.437 --> 00:06:41.827
Right, right.

00:06:42.037 --> 00:06:44.737
So do you, does that kick in
like five minutes, 10 minutes,

00:06:45.097 --> 00:06:46.717
some period before or at the

00:06:46.804 --> 00:06:48.334
Mario: Oh yes, yes.

00:06:48.334 --> 00:06:48.604
Sorry.

00:06:48.604 --> 00:06:49.504
I forgot to mention that.

00:06:49.504 --> 00:06:51.544
So let's say a schedule is

00:06:51.664 --> 00:06:59.165
scheduled for 3:00 PM or 1500 Then it
will enable the ability to request to

00:06:59.165 --> 00:07:01.025
join five minutes before.

00:07:01.025 --> 00:07:03.826
So at 2 55 or, you know what is that?

00:07:03.826 --> 00:07:05.326
1,455.

00:07:05.423 --> 00:07:05.723
Alan: Yeah.

00:07:05.770 --> 00:07:06.640
Don't start with that yeah.

00:07:06.661 --> 00:07:07.361
I've been having

00:07:07.361 --> 00:07:08.441
time zones fun myself.

00:07:08.441 --> 00:07:12.521
So I also have the things
so like, yeah, I mean, I'm

00:07:12.611 --> 00:07:16.638
so used to, I guess 2,400
clock in Japan uses,

00:07:16.662 --> 00:07:21.522
Solely like 24 hour clock, even
weirdly Japan uses  30 hour clock.

00:07:21.596 --> 00:07:28.196
In most cases for like retail and for
times that you see a time they use

00:07:28.196 --> 00:07:29.936
the 30 hour clock, which is, is an

00:07:29.936 --> 00:07:30.416
interesting one.

00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.051
Basically it ends, it ends at
6:00 AM the next day, which

00:07:34.051 --> 00:07:35.641
means that if like a bar is

00:07:35.641 --> 00:07:40.501
open or a shop or something, it , it
closes at 1:00 AM it closed at 2,500.

00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:44.710
And so by default, that ends at 6:00 AM.

00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:45.640
So that will then

00:07:45.640 --> 00:07:48.160
roll roll over, you know,
because you, you don't close at

00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:49.150
seven o'clock in the morning.

00:07:49.180 --> 00:07:51.580
If you're going to close
overnight, it'll be like

00:07:51.580 --> 00:07:53.530
three, four o'clock or whatever.

00:07:53.530 --> 00:07:58.150
So for T train times for shops,
for bars, restaurants, that kind

00:07:58.150 --> 00:08:00.866
of thing, they always use 30
hour clock, which is it's weird.

00:08:00.866 --> 00:08:02.486
The first time you see
it, like that's wrong.

00:08:02.516 --> 00:08:03.236
That's ridiculous.

00:08:03.236 --> 00:08:04.226
It should just say one.

00:08:04.226 --> 00:08:07.886
And then once you get used to it, you're
like this that's such a good idea.

00:08:08.696 --> 00:08:14.546
It's so clear when something says it's
open from, you know, 2000 till 24, 26, 27.

00:08:14.546 --> 00:08:14.666
You're

00:08:14.666 --> 00:08:15.116
like, all right.

00:08:15.176 --> 00:08:15.326
Yeah,

00:08:15.326 --> 00:08:15.476
that

00:08:15.476 --> 00:08:15.926
makes sense.

00:08:16.253 --> 00:08:17.663
Mario: this is like the next day.

00:08:17.873 --> 00:08:18.023
So.

00:08:18.023 --> 00:08:20.153
you get used to the idea
that it's the next day.

00:08:20.711 --> 00:08:20.921
Alan: Yeah,

00:08:21.173 --> 00:08:21.473
Mario: Huh?

00:08:21.533 --> 00:08:22.133
Interesting.

00:08:22.403 --> 00:08:22.673
Hmm.

00:08:22.751 --> 00:08:24.058
Alan: and it's it's one of those that

00:08:24.108 --> 00:08:26.968
the first reaction is
just like, you're like no

00:08:26.998 --> 00:08:27.418
wrong.

00:08:27.478 --> 00:08:29.608
This is that's just incorrect.

00:08:29.642 --> 00:08:30.602
But yeah, when you get used to

00:08:30.712 --> 00:08:32.112
it, you actually

00:08:32.162 --> 00:08:33.212
prefer it is just,

00:08:33.342 --> 00:08:33.552
yeah.

00:08:34.074 --> 00:08:34.974
Mario: Oh, that's cool.

00:08:35.034 --> 00:08:35.544
That's cool.

00:08:35.574 --> 00:08:37.224
I didn't, I didn't know
that I never heard of that.

00:08:38.242 --> 00:08:38.902
Alan: So, yeah.

00:08:39.652 --> 00:08:40.102
So I'm

00:08:40.132 --> 00:08:43.439
dealing with the clients during
the U S and my default of course,

00:08:43.439 --> 00:08:45.989
is to use 2,400, a 24 hour

00:08:45.989 --> 00:08:48.489
clock because it's unambiguous.

00:08:48.509 --> 00:08:49.109
It's clear.

00:08:49.109 --> 00:08:50.249
It's what I'm used to.

00:08:50.459 --> 00:08:51.689
And there are like, we can't

00:08:51.689 --> 00:08:52.499
think like that.

00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.429
Can you just put name that?

00:08:56.429 --> 00:08:58.229
Like it's maths every
time I have to put it in a

00:08:58.229 --> 00:08:59.519
time, can you please change it?

00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:00.839
And I'm like, well, yeah, no.

00:09:00.959 --> 00:09:01.319
Yeah.

00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:01.469
I

00:09:01.587 --> 00:09:01.977
Mario: Yeah.

00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.109
Alan: it's something
I discovered this way.

00:09:04.109 --> 00:09:07.649
I didn't even know it existed because
I use Safari primarily as my browser.

00:09:08.419 --> 00:09:12.909
And apparently there's a, an input type
equals time, which works on pretty much

00:09:12.909 --> 00:09:16.690
everything apart from Safari, which
will give you a time picker just like

00:09:16.790 --> 00:09:22.967
a scrolling of, and that is apparently
based on the setting of your Mac as to

00:09:22.967 --> 00:09:27.910
whether your machine PC as to whether
it's set to 2,400 hours or 12 hour clock.

00:09:28.010 --> 00:09:29.210
And it will give you an am PM.

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.750
And I didn't even know that input
existed, but finding out that it

00:09:32.750 --> 00:09:35.960
doesn't, isn't supported in safari
makes it might as well not exist anyway.

00:09:35.970 --> 00:09:37.201
So like one of those.

00:09:37.201 --> 00:09:37.531
Yay.

00:09:37.523 --> 00:09:38.063
Mario: Nice.

00:09:38.093 --> 00:09:38.603
Nice.

00:09:39.521 --> 00:09:39.791
Alan: anyway,

00:09:40.223 --> 00:09:40.743
Mario: Yeah.

00:09:40.859 --> 00:09:41.729
Yeah, so

00:09:42.599 --> 00:09:44.069
no none, No worries

00:09:44.177 --> 00:09:45.407
Alan: I actually, that's a good question.

00:09:45.407 --> 00:09:48.467
When you shed your all in
your own, your schedule or a,

00:09:48.507 --> 00:09:49.947
A podcast recording a session.

00:09:49.947 --> 00:09:50.097
Yeah.

00:09:50.117 --> 00:09:51.617
What do you use for timepicker there?

00:09:51.627 --> 00:09:55.688
Do you just have a using like
flat picker or I can't, I

00:09:55.688 --> 00:09:56.138
can't actually

00:09:56.138 --> 00:09:56.438
remember.

00:09:57.210 --> 00:09:59.656
Mario: yeah, I'm using what is it called?

00:09:59.716 --> 00:10:00.436
let me look

00:10:00.436 --> 00:10:00.916
here.

00:10:00.999 --> 00:10:05.054
I'm using popular library for
that, that I found online.

00:10:05.084 --> 00:10:07.304
So I created a view component, a

00:10:07.304 --> 00:10:11.934
custom view component, but on
top of a open source library

00:10:11.934 --> 00:10:14.217
that I found online it's called

00:10:14.264 --> 00:10:16.904
V calendar, vcalendar.io.

00:10:16.931 --> 00:10:22.147
So if you need to check it out, go to
vcalendar.io, I can put the link here.

00:10:23.410 --> 00:10:23.980
Alan: Oh, no.

00:10:23.980 --> 00:10:24.550
Cause I

00:10:24.602 --> 00:10:28.815
I ended up, well, I, need the same
thing as well, and I originally

00:10:28.815 --> 00:10:29.085
just

00:10:29.085 --> 00:10:30.765
had, okay, so just taking a look.

00:10:30.765 --> 00:10:34.695
So it has a, has a time
picker in it as well, right?

00:10:34.725 --> 00:10:37.035
Or is it just a calendar,
Oh, it does have like a

00:10:37.545 --> 00:10:38.085
little time.

00:10:38.265 --> 00:10:38.715
Oh, that's quite

00:10:38.715 --> 00:10:39.015
nice.

00:10:39.135 --> 00:10:39.225
All

00:10:39.332 --> 00:10:40.742
Mario: it's pretty robust

00:10:40.742 --> 00:10:42.122
and it's very flexible.

00:10:42.122 --> 00:10:44.192
It has a lot of options that you can,

00:10:44.252 --> 00:10:46.212
that you can play with deals.

00:10:46.362 --> 00:10:46.872
It can deal

00:10:46.872 --> 00:10:49.512
with date ranges and things like that.

00:10:49.512 --> 00:10:51.541
Markers All kinds of stuff.

00:10:51.751 --> 00:10:52.021
It's,

00:10:52.021 --> 00:10:53.581
it's pretty extensive.

00:10:53.611 --> 00:10:54.571
So I really liked

00:10:54.571 --> 00:10:57.331
it because it it, provides
a lot and it seems

00:10:57.331 --> 00:10:59.011
to be popular

00:10:59.011 --> 00:11:00.989
and a well-supported and you know,

00:11:01.062 --> 00:11:03.192
Pretty well developed and

00:11:03.192 --> 00:11:03.252
the

00:11:03.494 --> 00:11:04.184
Alan: So yeah,

00:11:04.302 --> 00:11:05.022
Mario: really good.

00:11:05.055 --> 00:11:05.595
So

00:11:05.628 --> 00:11:05.838
Alan: always

00:11:05.838 --> 00:11:06.198
nice.

00:11:06.264 --> 00:11:08.064
It's not a, it doesn't relate.

00:11:08.064 --> 00:11:09.504
Does it relay on for you or is it

00:11:09.525 --> 00:11:09.752
it's

00:11:09.752 --> 00:11:10.142
actually

00:11:10.652 --> 00:11:11.132
agnostic.

00:11:11.280 --> 00:11:16.073
Mario: I think it's I think
it's framework agnostic or maybe

00:11:16.103 --> 00:11:18.033
it supports different ones.

00:11:18.100 --> 00:11:18.940
Let's see.

00:11:18.940 --> 00:11:19.990
View three.

00:11:19.990 --> 00:11:20.440
Yeah,

00:11:20.470 --> 00:11:20.950
take a look.

00:11:20.950 --> 00:11:21.510
I think

00:11:21.616 --> 00:11:22.126
Does it

00:11:22.156 --> 00:11:23.896
let me see introduction.

00:11:23.896 --> 00:11:25.786
It's been a while since I set it up.

00:11:25.766 --> 00:11:26.114
Alan: JS.

00:11:26.114 --> 00:11:27.014
It says that right in the

00:11:27.014 --> 00:11:27.644
title.

00:11:28.304 --> 00:11:29.114
So yeah, users view.

00:11:29.114 --> 00:11:29.414
Okay.

00:11:29.414 --> 00:11:30.740
But I might have a look at

00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:30.880
that.

00:11:30.890 --> 00:11:31.280
See how it

00:11:31.280 --> 00:11:33.110
works is there, so I'm not using view.

00:11:33.212 --> 00:11:33.572
But,

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:34.431
Definitely there might be.

00:11:35.311 --> 00:11:36.361
Good for an influence.

00:11:36.491 --> 00:11:36.751
So

00:11:36.991 --> 00:11:41.401
it's, it's, shocking how not so that
the default, or at least the, one

00:11:41.401 --> 00:11:42.841
of the most popular seems to be flat

00:11:42.841 --> 00:11:46.021
picker, which seems to do a lot
of things, but it's, doesn't

00:11:46.021 --> 00:11:48.061
seem very elegant in any of them.

00:11:48.170 --> 00:11:52.730
And so I'm using that as a, just
a like, oh, well, it's, it's

00:11:52.730 --> 00:11:56.842
working until I have a chance to
re go back and, and improve it.

00:11:57.172 --> 00:12:01.698
But yeah, just a, a good solid
timepicker that doesn't rely on

00:12:01.698 --> 00:12:07.188
any framework doesn't seem to be as
available as, as I would have liked

00:12:07.188 --> 00:12:11.510
it, I would have kind of expected to
be like, oh, that is 10 great examples.

00:12:11.510 --> 00:12:13.940
And it's like, no, there's, there's
one and it's not that great.

00:12:14.270 --> 00:12:14.960
It's like, oh, okay.

00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:18.462
So I think yeah, I just need
to go back and do it properly.

00:12:18.451 --> 00:12:22.185
So yeah, it's, it's surprising
how it's such a common thing

00:12:22.185 --> 00:12:23.175
and there isn't like a.

00:12:23.206 --> 00:12:26.596
At least not that I found that there
was a default, yet everybody uses this.

00:12:26.596 --> 00:12:27.586
This is the one and

00:12:28.606 --> 00:12:29.296
a lot of libraries.

00:12:29.296 --> 00:12:29.686
You tend to

00:12:29.686 --> 00:12:30.196
find that way.

00:12:30.196 --> 00:12:30.466
So

00:12:31.238 --> 00:12:32.858
Mario: yeah, yeah.

00:12:34.156 --> 00:12:36.706
Alan: it's just me being lazy and
not, not wanting to write my own

00:12:37.876 --> 00:12:41.866
because why out of all the things I could
be spending my time on writing a time,

00:12:41.866 --> 00:12:42.616
picker is not what

00:12:43.478 --> 00:12:43.868
Mario: yeah.

00:12:43.868 --> 00:12:44.618
exactly.

00:12:44.618 --> 00:12:46.598
I mean, it's, it's a lot of, it's a lot of

00:12:46.598 --> 00:12:48.365
work to create a time picker or a

00:12:48.365 --> 00:12:50.825
date picker, all the, you know, all

00:12:50.825 --> 00:12:52.835
the, all the nuances with,

00:12:52.929 --> 00:12:54.789
Dates and time zones and all that.

00:12:54.849 --> 00:12:55.719
It's crazy.

00:12:56.166 --> 00:12:57.396
Alan: So I had this fun one.

00:12:57.400 --> 00:13:01.748
So I have a reminder
thing in, in dot plan.

00:13:01.748 --> 00:13:04.868
So you can say, oh, you know, five
30 every day, send me a reminder.

00:13:04.850 --> 00:13:08.223
And I, I inadvertently screwed that up.

00:13:08.343 --> 00:13:13.657
So so I'm using AWS SES
for sending the emails.

00:13:13.657 --> 00:13:14.039
And

00:13:14.129 --> 00:13:15.209
that's fine.

00:13:15.209 --> 00:13:20.745
That just there's a, there's a bit of a
validation thing you have to go through.

00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:24.720
You know, I have to jump through some
hoops to get AWS, to one turn it on

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:29.173
and then two allow you to send emails
to non test addresses, because you

00:13:29.183 --> 00:13:32.053
got to say, why are you going to do
it and what it's for and all the rest.

00:13:32.053 --> 00:13:33.930
So once you said out a
lot of it, it's fine.

00:13:34.710 --> 00:13:40.050
And I don't know why I am assuming it
was my logic rather than their logic,

00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:44.220
but one of the mails got delayed.

00:13:44.307 --> 00:13:48.417
And it was only by a few minutes and
I'm assuming it was my scheduler.

00:13:48.657 --> 00:13:52.077
Didn't kick off at the right time or
something, which I don't understand

00:13:52.077 --> 00:13:56.457
why, but I have to kind of have a
look at some time and that caused.

00:13:57.332 --> 00:14:02.022
Kind of a knock on effect for my logic,
for when to send a reminder, it won't send

00:14:02.022 --> 00:14:07.332
you, it wouldn't send you a reminder if
it was, if that one been sent within the

00:14:07.332 --> 00:14:09.432
last 24 hours of the same reminder type.

00:14:09.432 --> 00:14:11.937
So you could actually set one
for 5:00 PM and one for 6:00

00:14:11.937 --> 00:14:13.482
PM at is, as it is right now.

00:14:13.499 --> 00:14:18.376
And it would send you one at 5:00
PM and the 6:00 PM one wouldn't send

00:14:18.406 --> 00:14:22.186
because it was like, well, I've already
sent you one within the last 24 hours.

00:14:22.306 --> 00:14:22.786
Oh no.

00:14:22.786 --> 00:14:23.026
Sorry.

00:14:23.086 --> 00:14:26.596
It would because they're separate
reminders, but by one of them being

00:14:26.596 --> 00:14:30.376
delayed, that reminded then kept being
delayed even further because it's

00:14:30.376 --> 00:14:34.186
like, oh, I haven't sent, I've already
sent you one within the last 24 hours.

00:14:34.186 --> 00:14:35.356
I'll send you one a little bit later.

00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.480
Had this thing where each day
they were getting like five

00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:38.590
minutes later and I'm like,

00:14:39.310 --> 00:14:39.760
okay.

00:14:40.457 --> 00:14:40.957
Mario: Yeah,

00:14:41.470 --> 00:14:42.460
Alan: But it got to the end of the week.

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:44.050
And I'm like, okay, I
really need to fix this.

00:14:44.050 --> 00:14:44.230
Now.

00:14:44.230 --> 00:14:44.950
It's like, you know,

00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:45.670
half an hour out of

00:14:45.670 --> 00:14:45.910
sync.

00:14:45.910 --> 00:14:46.240
So

00:14:46.527 --> 00:14:46.947
Mario: yeah,

00:14:47.290 --> 00:14:48.130
Alan: I hate times

00:14:48.130 --> 00:14:48.400
with a

00:14:48.400 --> 00:14:49.960
passion times.

00:14:50.227 --> 00:14:52.617
Mario: It's always a
pain dealing with that

00:14:52.617 --> 00:14:54.560
Alan: And, and and at the end of
the day it was a time zone thing.

00:14:54.563 --> 00:14:56.301
It was just me trying

00:14:56.301 --> 00:14:58.071
to shift things around time zones.

00:14:58.071 --> 00:15:00.181
And by doing that ad the calculation was

00:15:00.181 --> 00:15:01.381
incorrect and it was going,

00:15:02.431 --> 00:15:03.121
so, Yeah.

00:15:03.249 --> 00:15:03.489
Mario: yeah,

00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:06.009
Oh man.

00:15:06.541 --> 00:15:07.171
Alan: sorry to

00:15:07.171 --> 00:15:07.621
interrupt.

00:15:07.609 --> 00:15:08.929
Mario: No, no, not at all.

00:15:09.139 --> 00:15:09.889
No worries.

00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:10.639
Let's see.

00:15:11.209 --> 00:15:12.079
A couple more

00:15:12.079 --> 00:15:13.939
things to report here.

00:15:13.973 --> 00:15:14.723
I scheduled

00:15:14.723 --> 00:15:17.825
a hangout on one of my communities.

00:15:17.907 --> 00:15:18.657
Alan: I saw

00:15:18.845 --> 00:15:19.205
Mario: Yeah

00:15:19.235 --> 00:15:20.776
Alan: how did that go,
How many you turned up?

00:15:22.426 --> 00:15:23.436
Did anybody up?

00:15:23.454 --> 00:15:25.944
Mario: it didn't get,
it didn't go very well.

00:15:26.154 --> 00:15:30.438
So I think I made a mistake of
scheduling it for a Friday and

00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.370
not giving people enough notice.

00:15:32.640 --> 00:15:36.060
I thought maybe Friday was going to be a
good day because it's, you know, it's the

00:15:36.060 --> 00:15:36.810
end of the week.

00:15:36.972 --> 00:15:37.482
Alan: of the week.

00:15:37.950 --> 00:15:40.320
Mario: people, people
would, you know, hang out.

00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:40.800
But I,

00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:44.289
think what happened was hopefully
that what happened was that

00:15:44.319 --> 00:15:45.609
people were not very

00:15:45.609 --> 00:15:46.239
active

00:15:46.299 --> 00:15:46.749
in the

00:15:46.749 --> 00:15:49.839
community at that time and not
many people found out about it.

00:15:49.847 --> 00:15:53.755
And and also, you know, there's time
zone issues, you know, with people

00:15:53.888 --> 00:15:55.118
Alan: I, I didn't actually see your

00:15:55.118 --> 00:15:56.228
message until after it.

00:15:56.228 --> 00:15:56.738
had happened.

00:15:56.858 --> 00:15:57.638
So yeah.

00:15:57.708 --> 00:15:59.828
That's kind of an example
of that, especially since I

00:15:59.828 --> 00:16:03.457
don't check  as frequently, I'll
see that, you know, when I've

00:16:03.457 --> 00:16:04.987
got some downtime and I'll, I'll

00:16:04.987 --> 00:16:07.704
go and have a look, see if there's
any messages and it's not, whereas,

00:16:07.704 --> 00:16:08.874
you know, work is kind of like

00:16:08.994 --> 00:16:12.804
on and open and notifications, whereas
other channels are like, ah, you

00:16:12.804 --> 00:16:14.124
know, it's, it's not so important.

00:16:14.124 --> 00:16:16.824
So yeah, maybe she had you on a
couple of days, like on Friday

00:16:18.177 --> 00:16:19.467
Mario: yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:16:19.467 --> 00:16:20.187
Ahead of time.

00:16:20.487 --> 00:16:22.017
So only one person showed up.

00:16:22.006 --> 00:16:22.446
And

00:16:22.563 --> 00:16:23.223
Alan: made a new friend.

00:16:23.976 --> 00:16:27.816
Mario: she she showed up because
I had, I had mentioned to her

00:16:27.816 --> 00:16:29.556
that I was planning to do that.

00:16:29.556 --> 00:16:33.822
And at some point, and she
asked me to let her know.

00:16:33.894 --> 00:16:37.014
And so I dropped a quick
message directly to her

00:16:38.074 --> 00:16:39.461
you know it's this Friday.

00:16:39.461 --> 00:16:41.561
And so hopefully you can make it.

00:16:41.621 --> 00:16:43.541
And she showed up and
she was the only one.

00:16:44.321 --> 00:16:44.711
So.

00:16:47.069 --> 00:16:47.369
Alan: Yeah.

00:16:48.746 --> 00:16:53.486
Mario: So I'm, I'm, I'm thinking
to schedule another one for one

00:16:53.486 --> 00:16:57.836
of these days, but I'll give
people more time, more in advance

00:16:57.904 --> 00:16:58.924
Alan: On the subject of like

00:16:58.924 --> 00:16:59.734
communities and things.

00:16:59.734 --> 00:17:01.474
So I think I mentioned to you over DM.

00:17:01.541 --> 00:17:03.159
So I joined founders

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.330
circle and it was a

00:17:05.660 --> 00:17:08.996
I think like a paid
community, but the guys made

00:17:08.996 --> 00:17:10.316
it free, basically.

00:17:10.316 --> 00:17:13.586
Just message him and tell him why you
want to be in and they'll let you in.

00:17:13.916 --> 00:17:17.636
And so he's covering basically
all it is using circle app as

00:17:17.636 --> 00:17:19.556
like a like community board thing.

00:17:19.588 --> 00:17:23.033
And it's, it's really nice, I
think because it's smaller and

00:17:23.033 --> 00:17:25.073
he's trying to establish it.

00:17:25.103 --> 00:17:30.344
He's been very proactive in In, in
trying to grow the community and trying

00:17:30.344 --> 00:17:32.114
to get other people to be active too.

00:17:32.114 --> 00:17:35.913
So it feels a little bit more like he's
you know, I think, whereas MegaMaker

00:17:35.913 --> 00:17:39.543
is quite established now it, for the
most part, you know, just in kind of

00:17:39.543 --> 00:17:42.963
like, we'll poke it occasionally, but
it's not like his full-time like, okay,

00:17:42.963 --> 00:17:44.493
I've got to get everybody to do things.

00:17:44.493 --> 00:17:48.360
Whereas this feels still a little bit
more like it's trying to get to establish.

00:17:48.390 --> 00:17:51.983
So it's, it's nice and everybody's
very sensory helpful and there's some

00:17:51.983 --> 00:17:53.213
really interesting people on there.

00:17:53.483 --> 00:17:58.208
I didn't realize the you know, I
mentioned copy.ai a few weeks ago which

00:17:58.208 --> 00:18:01.128
is like the AI copy rewriting thing.

00:18:01.278 --> 00:18:02.988
So he's actually on that as well.

00:18:03.051 --> 00:18:06.951
And there's some other interesting
folks doing some interesting stuff,

00:18:06.981 --> 00:18:12.345
so, but they also mentioned in, they
do like a weekly like a weekly check-in

00:18:12.345 --> 00:18:17.167
kind of idea in one of the channels
and Oh, there is no chat either.

00:18:17.167 --> 00:18:18.847
It's all just by posts.

00:18:18.847 --> 00:18:23.227
So it feels a little more asynchronous
than something like MegaMaker, which

00:18:23.227 --> 00:18:27.457
seems to have gone more towards
the slack than the board right now.

00:18:27.474 --> 00:18:32.694
And so he mentioned that he's, they've
been testing podcast, recording tools

00:18:32.694 --> 00:18:36.942
with the co-founder of the board
to find one, to record a podcast

00:18:36.942 --> 00:18:38.322
with, and I'm like, come on Mario.

00:18:39.322 --> 00:18:41.992
So you could be the, the, the tool of
choice there because they seemed very

00:18:41.992 --> 00:18:43.808
supportive in their own in real product.

00:18:43.818 --> 00:18:46.792
So I would recommend Colin and
saying, introducing what you're doing.

00:18:46.792 --> 00:18:49.882
Cause I think that'd be very
willing to, give it a go and

00:18:49.965 --> 00:18:50.835
it gives some good feedback.

00:18:51.075 --> 00:18:51.915
So it's interesting.

00:18:51.915 --> 00:18:56.020
So the, the founder of it did a
like a loom walkthrough of dot

00:18:56.020 --> 00:19:01.330
plan for me as like a freebie, you
know, like I'd like to help out.

00:19:01.870 --> 00:19:07.150
And there's another guy that is a
UX designer from London that is,

00:19:07.210 --> 00:19:08.620
he said, he's going to do it too.

00:19:08.666 --> 00:19:11.845
He I noticed that I don't know
if he's created an account.

00:19:11.865 --> 00:19:14.685
Somebody creates an account like
yesterday and I'm like, okay,

00:19:14.715 --> 00:19:16.945
I'm what I wasn't expecting
anybody else to create an account.

00:19:16.965 --> 00:19:18.060
So I assume it was him.

00:19:18.300 --> 00:19:22.526
I haven't so he said he's gonna do similar
kind of thing just to walk through.

00:19:22.796 --> 00:19:25.526
So they're actually
starting to share those.

00:19:25.526 --> 00:19:30.056
There's a directory of them so
effectively to help each other out.

00:19:30.056 --> 00:19:32.726
They really we'll do walkthroughs
of each other's product.

00:19:32.726 --> 00:19:34.766
Like the onboarding, like,
oh, well, what does this mean?

00:19:34.766 --> 00:19:38.486
Like, you know, talk through,
talk out loud through the

00:19:38.486 --> 00:19:39.716
thought process of the product.

00:19:39.734 --> 00:19:40.842
And that's been really helpful.

00:19:40.932 --> 00:19:43.543
So so, so once off our own,
somebody else is doing it.

00:19:43.573 --> 00:19:47.635
And and because of that, other
people are watching it And then

00:19:47.635 --> 00:19:49.015
sent, oh, that looks really cool.

00:19:49.255 --> 00:19:51.445
I I'll like to give it a try as okay.

00:19:51.445 --> 00:19:53.245
If I sign up, please sign up.

00:19:54.175 --> 00:19:59.635
So hopefully it's a nice little way
of getting people to, to know about

00:19:59.635 --> 00:20:02.605
it and to see it as well, because
people are interested in learning

00:20:02.605 --> 00:20:04.576
from other people's UX examples.

00:20:04.576 --> 00:20:04.906
Anyway.

00:20:04.959 --> 00:20:08.987
So that, that actually I'll I guess I'll
you, you're kind of finished, right?

00:20:09.827 --> 00:20:10.607
Just to check,

00:20:10.750 --> 00:20:11.200
Mario: Almost.

00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:11.410
Yeah.

00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:12.967
Almost yeah, no, no, no worries.

00:20:13.081 --> 00:20:13.351
No,

00:20:13.351 --> 00:20:13.651
and

00:20:13.749 --> 00:20:14.829
Alan: want to start rambling on about,

00:20:14.912 --> 00:20:15.542
My things first.

00:20:17.785 --> 00:20:21.573
Mario: no, and on that note,
I did get your invite link the

00:20:21.573 --> 00:20:23.313
other day for, for that community.

00:20:23.313 --> 00:20:28.383
And I, I did join already, but I
haven't had a chance to introduce myself

00:20:28.413 --> 00:20:30.889
or, or, you know or do much in there.

00:20:30.889 --> 00:20:30.979
I

00:20:30.979 --> 00:20:32.809
need, I still need, to explore and

00:20:32.809 --> 00:20:33.619
introduce myself.

00:20:33.979 --> 00:20:34.969
So I

00:20:35.069 --> 00:20:36.499
I should be doing that.

00:20:37.127 --> 00:20:37.487
Alan: Yes.

00:20:37.529 --> 00:20:37.859
Mario: Yeah.

00:20:38.009 --> 00:20:38.279
Yeah.

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:38.609
it looks

00:20:38.609 --> 00:20:39.449
like a really cool

00:20:39.449 --> 00:20:40.109
community though.

00:20:40.109 --> 00:20:43.577
It looks it's funny as you're
mentioning that it's just getting

00:20:43.577 --> 00:20:48.377
started, but it looks like there's
quite a bit of participation going on

00:20:48.464 --> 00:20:48.794
Alan: right.

00:20:48.794 --> 00:20:50.947
So I think what happened is, so Gene, the

00:20:50.947 --> 00:20:53.287
founder, just I'm kind of
reading between the lines.

00:20:53.314 --> 00:20:53.809
So it

00:20:53.809 --> 00:20:57.119
looks like so he's based
surprisingly very close to me.

00:20:57.107 --> 00:21:02.687
He's in, on the same island, but in
the south and it was like, oh, okay.

00:21:02.717 --> 00:21:03.817
Yeah, that's weird.

00:21:03.827 --> 00:21:03.977
like

00:21:05.157 --> 00:21:06.227
it's a really small world,

00:21:06.227 --> 00:21:06.377
right.

00:21:06.377 --> 00:21:06.797
Sometimes.

00:21:07.217 --> 00:21:11.702
And so I think so he's selling an
info product and so people who were

00:21:11.702 --> 00:21:13.442
buying it, he was inviting them to it.

00:21:13.502 --> 00:21:17.942
And so I think it's been slowly,
he's been building it out to

00:21:17.942 --> 00:21:19.832
know he's getting more people

00:21:19.832 --> 00:21:20.192
involved.

00:21:20.222 --> 00:21:20.492
So it

00:21:20.492 --> 00:21:20.732
was kind

00:21:20.732 --> 00:21:21.212
of interesting.

00:21:21.554 --> 00:21:22.064
Mario: Nice.

00:21:22.190 --> 00:21:24.800
Alan: Yeah, so I, it seems
like a, quite a nice community.

00:21:24.800 --> 00:21:26.120
So I definitely I'd recommend

00:21:26.120 --> 00:21:26.630
introducing

00:21:26.630 --> 00:21:27.020
yourself.

00:21:27.020 --> 00:21:27.290
And

00:21:27.787 --> 00:21:29.107
Mario: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

00:21:29.107 --> 00:21:29.407
I

00:21:29.510 --> 00:21:29.630
Alan: that.

00:21:30.517 --> 00:21:31.807
Mario: yeah, I'm looking forward to it and

00:21:31.807 --> 00:21:32.857
I'll, I'll be doing that

00:21:32.887 --> 00:21:35.887
pretty soon because one of
the, one of the things that.

00:21:35.887 --> 00:21:37.477
I want to share too, which kind

00:21:37.477 --> 00:21:40.417
of is a good segway to it is that I

00:21:40.426 --> 00:21:44.227
that I decided to freeze any new
features at this point just for now.

00:21:44.287 --> 00:21:45.157
And I think

00:21:45.210 --> 00:21:46.530
Alan: I need somebody
to tell me to do that.

00:21:47.530 --> 00:21:48.490
Mario: you can do it online.

00:21:48.610 --> 00:21:49.300
You can do it,

00:21:50.192 --> 00:21:50.342
Alan: It's

00:21:50.342 --> 00:21:50.822
impossible.

00:21:50.890 --> 00:21:51.520
Mario: it, right now.

00:21:53.020 --> 00:21:58.220
No, I think Fusioncast is at a point where
it's good enough that it can be used.

00:21:58.250 --> 00:22:00.680
I have someone who's, who's been using

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:00.950
it

00:22:00.996 --> 00:22:01.506
Already.

00:22:01.506 --> 00:22:04.974
And I think, I think
it's at that point where,

00:22:05.864 --> 00:22:07.544
Yeah, it still, needs more features.

00:22:07.544 --> 00:22:10.506
It's still, it's still needs
quite a bit of work to be polished

00:22:10.776 --> 00:22:12.726
here and there, but for the most part

00:22:12.726 --> 00:22:13.816
it's usable, You know?

00:22:13.916 --> 00:22:17.579
Alan: I absolutely 100% agree
with you that this is, yeah.

00:22:17.609 --> 00:22:21.659
I mean, yeah, there's, there's lots
of things that you want to do, but

00:22:21.689 --> 00:22:24.786
there's absolutely nothing that it
can't do right now that you would

00:22:24.816 --> 00:22:27.036
need to make a podcast for somebody.

00:22:27.036 --> 00:22:27.246
Right.

00:22:27.246 --> 00:22:28.236
You know, and it looks

00:22:28.236 --> 00:22:28.506
great.

00:22:28.536 --> 00:22:31.566
And there's, you know, walking
through the the admin interface

00:22:31.596 --> 00:22:33.576
and as a guest as well, both it's

00:22:33.606 --> 00:22:37.416
I think having that remote control, I
mean, it, it sounds like a small thing,

00:22:37.416 --> 00:22:43.553
but that, I think that's like the final
not must have, but really nice to have.

00:22:43.569 --> 00:22:46.273
But then anybody can there's
no, excuse, absolutely.

00:22:46.273 --> 00:22:46.753
You've got zero

00:22:46.753 --> 00:22:47.353
excuses now.

00:22:48.040 --> 00:22:49.600
Mario: yeah, yeah.

00:22:49.600 --> 00:22:51.280
So, yeah, you're right,

00:22:51.280 --> 00:22:52.210
So I decided to freeze.

00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.700
New features and a focus
on marketing for awhile.

00:22:56.747 --> 00:22:59.637
I need to update my marketing site.

00:22:59.697 --> 00:23:03.054
You know, the landing page
is good and all right.

00:23:03.054 --> 00:23:08.493
now, but it it's it's it was like the
first attempt at putting something out

00:23:08.493 --> 00:23:12.878
there and I need to update it with more
relevant information and something that

00:23:12.878 --> 00:23:17.325
reflects what the product is becoming
now, you know, the copy that I have

00:23:17.325 --> 00:23:21.345
on the marketing site is kind
of a reflection of the early

00:23:21.345 --> 00:23:24.195
ideas and the early stage of the product.

00:23:24.195 --> 00:23:27.105
And now it's, you know,
it's, becoming more defined.

00:23:27.105 --> 00:23:27.735
So I need

00:23:27.735 --> 00:23:28.815
to update that

00:23:28.815 --> 00:23:31.122
Alan: I would highly recommend
playing with copy.ai when you're

00:23:31.122 --> 00:23:32.772
doing that, just because it's really.

00:23:32.863 --> 00:23:33.253
Mario: Cool.

00:23:33.283 --> 00:23:33.793
Yeah.

00:23:33.817 --> 00:23:34.417
I'll try to do

00:23:34.417 --> 00:23:34.687
that.

00:23:34.687 --> 00:23:34.981
Yeah.

00:23:34.981 --> 00:23:35.461
And I'll

00:23:35.540 --> 00:23:40.440
I need to send some email updates to the
people that I've onboarded with the latest

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:42.630
changes put into the product and

00:23:42.600 --> 00:23:44.130
also do more onboarding.

00:23:44.183 --> 00:23:44.303
I

00:23:44.303 --> 00:23:45.786
need to invite some, people

00:23:45.909 --> 00:23:49.089
Alan: you say you, you, cause you've
got outset are already set up.

00:23:49.089 --> 00:23:49.359
Right?

00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:52.391
So there's but you don't
have any restrictions with

00:23:52.391 --> 00:23:53.681
the billing plans, right?

00:23:53.771 --> 00:23:54.041
Is that

00:23:54.148 --> 00:23:54.688
Mario: right.

00:23:54.688 --> 00:23:58.576
I have an account with them and I'm using
some of their features, but I haven't

00:23:58.576 --> 00:24:01.456
integrated any part of the billing yet.

00:24:01.456 --> 00:24:03.196
So billing is not, I don't have

00:24:03.196 --> 00:24:04.906
anything set up for that yet.

00:24:04.906 --> 00:24:06.406
So I think at this point,

00:24:06.406 --> 00:24:08.776
And I'm still in private
beta and I'm going to be

00:24:08.776 --> 00:24:12.199
onboarding some people, I think
I can still get away with,

00:24:12.199 --> 00:24:14.209
without the billing integration.

00:24:14.716 --> 00:24:17.896
Alan: I think you can for at least
another month or so until you

00:24:17.896 --> 00:24:20.506
kind of reached the point where
you get, you want people to pay.

00:24:20.506 --> 00:24:20.836
Right.

00:24:21.239 --> 00:24:22.169
Mario: yeah, exactly.

00:24:22.149 --> 00:24:24.029
so I'm just going to be
focusing on that for the next

00:24:24.029 --> 00:24:26.488
few weeks is marketing emails.

00:24:26.580 --> 00:24:30.630
I want to establish some kind of strategy
for social media, mainly Twitter.

00:24:30.630 --> 00:24:32.220
That's the only social media that I'm,

00:24:32.528 --> 00:24:32.948
Alan: I think

00:24:33.090 --> 00:24:35.190
Mario: that I care about really.

00:24:35.266 --> 00:24:36.086
Alan: I think that's

00:24:36.086 --> 00:24:36.686
absolutely the right

00:24:36.686 --> 00:24:37.406
decision where you are.

00:24:37.436 --> 00:24:41.576
I mean, it's, there's the, one of
the nice things that you have that

00:24:41.696 --> 00:24:42.866
is maybe, you know,

00:24:43.076 --> 00:24:44.126
I guess different to

00:24:44.366 --> 00:24:45.386
my product is

00:24:45.926 --> 00:24:47.786
somebody either

00:24:47.786 --> 00:24:50.786
wants to make a podcast or knows
they should, or they don't.

00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:57.400
And people know what a podcast is and
it's you, what you have to do is convince

00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:59.470
them that your product is worth trying.

00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:01.750
Not that they need your product, right.

00:25:02.393 --> 00:25:02.813
Mario: right.

00:25:02.993 --> 00:25:03.353
right.

00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:05.230
Alan: I mean, I guess there's advantages.

00:25:05.230 --> 00:25:08.920
You can talk about the benefits
of podcasting, but it's not

00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:12.640
like, this is a like, wow,
podcasting, never heard of that.

00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:12.850
Right.

00:25:12.850 --> 00:25:15.940
You know, the, the, the hard part
of that is already done for you.

00:25:15.940 --> 00:25:19.270
You just now need to convince them
that your product is worth their time

00:25:19.270 --> 00:25:19.800
and attention.

00:25:21.308 --> 00:25:21.638
Mario: Yeah.

00:25:21.685 --> 00:25:23.365
Alan: at least, you
know, worth evaluating.

00:25:23.725 --> 00:25:27.325
So we, yeah, with DotPlan, I guess
I have this, this thing where

00:25:27.985 --> 00:25:34.435
some people aren't sure if they
even need it or even what it's for.

00:25:34.585 --> 00:25:39.145
So I have to convince them a little, some
people absolutely get it immediately, this

00:25:39.355 --> 00:25:42.295
most maker type people already get it.

00:25:42.315 --> 00:25:43.335
Or a lot of software

00:25:43.335 --> 00:25:44.925
people will get it.

00:25:44.925 --> 00:25:47.865
If you put it, it frame it
in the context of a stand-up.

00:25:48.045 --> 00:25:51.585
So if you say, well, it's like your
stand-up, but just less formalized

00:25:51.585 --> 00:25:52.875
and they go, okay, I've got it.

00:25:53.145 --> 00:25:56.055
Whereas people who aren't
working in software are like,

00:25:56.295 --> 00:25:58.225
huh, I've got to do what?

00:25:58.515 --> 00:26:01.185
So it's, it's slightly
more of an alien concept.

00:26:01.185 --> 00:26:04.725
And I don't, I'm trying to avoid
using the word standup because I don't

00:26:04.725 --> 00:26:06.675
want to target software developers.

00:26:06.675 --> 00:26:09.925
That's not my I mean, I'm very
happy for them to use it and it

00:26:10.045 --> 00:26:13.215
hopefully works well for that,
but that isn't my primary target.

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:19.180
So it's, I'm trying to avoid using
the term stand up for that reason.

00:26:19.182 --> 00:26:23.503
And that's actually affected a few things,
so watching people walk through it.

00:26:23.503 --> 00:26:27.560
So I've, yeah, I've got two recordings
of people walking through it now that

00:26:27.560 --> 00:26:33.937
have given me some very useful ideas
or at least realizations of things that

00:26:33.937 --> 00:26:38.749
I could improve or maybe change with
regards to wording and copy on the page.

00:26:39.409 --> 00:26:44.662
So the first one is I use the word
organization quite a lot as in, so right

00:26:44.662 --> 00:26:51.382
now, if you create an account, you join an
organization and that is starting to feel

00:26:51.382 --> 00:26:54.022
off with everybody who I'm using it with.

00:26:54.004 --> 00:26:59.027
People don't necessarily it seems,
it feels like on for business

00:26:59.027 --> 00:27:04.859
type B2B, SaaS apps workspaces
becoming the go-to word for that.

00:27:04.949 --> 00:27:05.699
And I think

00:27:05.699 --> 00:27:06.449
people are

00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:08.819
less there's less

00:27:08.891 --> 00:27:10.001
Mario: Did you say workspace.

00:27:10.379 --> 00:27:10.709
Alan: Yes.

00:27:10.709 --> 00:27:10.919
Yeah.

00:27:10.919 --> 00:27:11.429
Yeah, it does.

00:27:11.429 --> 00:27:12.689
It seems to be less

00:27:12.753 --> 00:27:12.854
Say

00:27:12.884 --> 00:27:14.174
it's a less loaded term.

00:27:14.204 --> 00:27:17.234
Whereas the word
organization is very loaded.

00:27:17.234 --> 00:27:20.234
People immediately think, oh,
well, I'm in a big company.

00:27:20.234 --> 00:27:22.544
I've got to, you know, I work for Toyota.

00:27:22.544 --> 00:27:25.184
Or if I create this, I got
to create a Toyota account.

00:27:25.244 --> 00:27:25.424
You know?

00:27:25.454 --> 00:27:25.574
It's

00:27:25.574 --> 00:27:25.844
like,

00:27:26.264 --> 00:27:26.744
no,

00:27:26.757 --> 00:27:27.297
Mario: yeah.

00:27:27.597 --> 00:27:27.987
Yeah.

00:27:28.424 --> 00:27:29.804
Alan: so it could just be your group.

00:27:29.834 --> 00:27:30.584
This is fine.

00:27:30.614 --> 00:27:33.217
So the word organization
has got to go two things.

00:27:33.217 --> 00:27:36.697
I'm happy about that because
it always felt a little bit,

00:27:36.733 --> 00:27:40.363
Slightly out of place, but
it felt necessary to have, I

00:27:40.363 --> 00:27:41.773
mean, we need that, that group.

00:27:42.868 --> 00:27:46.258
But the word never, I was never
completely convinced by it.

00:27:46.267 --> 00:27:49.407
And the other thing as well is I
spell it with an S and American spell

00:27:49.407 --> 00:27:54.027
it with Zed and I O and I come and
it's, it's both ways in my code.

00:27:54.027 --> 00:27:58.227
Some of the things I've not been
very consistent with my code, I use S

00:27:58.227 --> 00:28:03.087
throughout my code, and then I'm trying
to change it, to use Zed in the UI.

00:28:03.447 --> 00:28:07.257
And then I forget, and I put S and then I
do a search and replace, and it's like, oh

00:28:07.257 --> 00:28:07.857
God, this is

00:28:07.857 --> 00:28:08.127
just

00:28:08.794 --> 00:28:09.844
Mario: Oh man.

00:28:10.017 --> 00:28:11.277
Alan: coming here as workspace.

00:28:12.057 --> 00:28:14.877
So I I'm going to bite the
bullet and change everything to

00:28:14.877 --> 00:28:15.567
workspace.

00:28:15.614 --> 00:28:18.112
And I think that will yeah,
watching people go through it

00:28:18.142 --> 00:28:19.282
is like, oh yeah.

00:28:19.342 --> 00:28:22.732
Th that that's almost feels
like a barrier to people.

00:28:22.732 --> 00:28:25.282
They hit that, like create
or join an organization.

00:28:25.282 --> 00:28:26.422
They're like, oh, but I can't do

00:28:26.422 --> 00:28:26.662
that.

00:28:26.752 --> 00:28:27.772
And you're like, why not?

00:28:28.462 --> 00:28:30.292
So that's, that was a

00:28:30.292 --> 00:28:31.432
big, yeah.

00:28:31.462 --> 00:28:32.272
I need to change that.

00:28:32.272 --> 00:28:32.852
So I'm

00:28:32.902 --> 00:28:33.202
actually

00:28:33.202 --> 00:28:33.352
having.

00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:35.810
Mario: yeah, That, that's awesome though.

00:28:35.810 --> 00:28:36.290
That's

00:28:36.275 --> 00:28:39.119
I wouldn't have thought of that,
but now that you're explaining

00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:40.499
it, it totally makes sense.

00:28:40.709 --> 00:28:41.759
The term

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:44.799
organization it's just
sounds too enterprisey

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:47.712
too, you know, huge corporation or a huge

00:28:47.712 --> 00:28:51.224
organization and yeah, workspace
it's, it's so much more

00:28:51.254 --> 00:28:52.831
friendly, like, oh, workspace.

00:28:52.861 --> 00:28:57.645
It's my workspace, you know, it doesn't,
it doesn't imply a huge enterprise entity.

00:28:57.670 --> 00:28:57.940
Alan: right.

00:28:57.970 --> 00:28:58.450
Exactly.

00:28:58.450 --> 00:29:01.690
I mean, it might just be, you know,
you, and, you know, w w we could

00:29:01.690 --> 00:29:04.180
effectively create a Fusioncast workspace.

00:29:04.330 --> 00:29:04.690
Right.

00:29:04.780 --> 00:29:06.220
And that was still valid.

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:07.180
It's not, we're not an

00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:09.970
organization, but we could
have a workspace and we

00:29:09.970 --> 00:29:11.200
could share check-ins there.

00:29:11.530 --> 00:29:12.280
And also that

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:13.960
also, so I've been

00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:15.100
quite careful about.

00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.580
Obviously the privacy aspect
for our companies is kind

00:29:18.580 --> 00:29:19.600
of major with this, right.

00:29:19.600 --> 00:29:23.590
You know, they're putting data in this,
that, and, and also personal profile

00:29:23.590 --> 00:29:27.490
of who I am within that business
that can not be leaky in any way.

00:29:27.487 --> 00:29:32.005
But at the same time, people do
exist in multiple workspaces.

00:29:32.005 --> 00:29:38.035
So the whereas organizations, again,
it has this, this low determined

00:29:38.035 --> 00:29:39.505
that if you're in one, then

00:29:39.535 --> 00:29:40.435
you can't be in another.

00:29:40.495 --> 00:29:40.675
Right.

00:29:41.173 --> 00:29:41.593
Mario: Yeah.

00:29:41.875 --> 00:29:45.235
Alan: So workspaces does feel like there,
there is a possibility of switching

00:29:45.235 --> 00:29:48.165
between workspaces that I've got to
be very safe, very careful about that.

00:29:48.195 --> 00:29:51.696
I think because you want to make sure
that people are aware of where they

00:29:51.696 --> 00:29:56.286
are and there's good landmarking to
like, you know, I'm, I'm currently in

00:29:56.286 --> 00:30:00.366
this workspace, you have to be very
clear about, you know, the who you're

00:30:00.366 --> 00:30:02.826
publishing to and what context you're in.

00:30:02.809 --> 00:30:04.301
But at least it feels possible.

00:30:04.301 --> 00:30:09.551
Whereas workspace felt in my mind,
not a feasible thing to add from

00:30:09.551 --> 00:30:13.141
a UI perspective it's kind of just
cleared things up in my mind once,

00:30:13.171 --> 00:30:16.411
once I've realized that it's like, oh,
okay, that, that makes things better.

00:30:16.831 --> 00:30:23.118
So, and along a very similar lines
I have teams as a top front and

00:30:23.118 --> 00:30:25.397
center concept within DotPlan.

00:30:26.087 --> 00:30:29.881
So I think I don't know if you remember,
but you've got like check-ins and

00:30:29.911 --> 00:30:34.291
teams and people, so I can see people
within my organization and teams.

00:30:34.471 --> 00:30:39.797
So my concept around this was teams
are a, loosely defined group that

00:30:39.797 --> 00:30:41.954
you want to keep in touch with.

00:30:41.934 --> 00:30:47.228
That might be you know, if, if we're
working on a, in a, in a workspace and

00:30:47.228 --> 00:30:51.509
we're working on making a new landing
page or, you know, it's our job,

00:30:51.609 --> 00:30:55.139
there's, there's a designer, there's a
developer and there's someone from sales.

00:30:55.139 --> 00:30:59.759
And so we, you know, our project
is to improve our landing page.

00:31:01.379 --> 00:31:07.199
That is, was kind of my idea of a
team, but people aren't reading it

00:31:07.199 --> 00:31:11.789
as that people are reading it as
sales or development or marketing

00:31:11.909 --> 00:31:14.099
or a front-end or back-end.

00:31:14.639 --> 00:31:20.609
And it's, I think this is maybe a
problem of me not working in a large

00:31:20.609 --> 00:31:22.889
company for a very, very, very long time.

00:31:23.309 --> 00:31:26.909
But my idea of what a team is
apparently is out of whack with what

00:31:26.909 --> 00:31:28.709
other people's idea of what team is.

00:31:28.750 --> 00:31:31.371
So I'm actually going to demote teams.

00:31:31.401 --> 00:31:35.447
I'm going to keep it there as
but move it within the people

00:31:35.447 --> 00:31:36.361
Page category.

00:31:36.631 --> 00:31:38.041
So you can still, yeah, yeah.

00:31:38.131 --> 00:31:38.431
Right.

00:31:38.419 --> 00:31:41.869
And I'm going to add the concept
of projects as a top level

00:31:41.869 --> 00:31:45.439
thing, which is basically we work in
the same way of teams, but I'm going to

00:31:45.439 --> 00:31:45.709
call it

00:31:45.709 --> 00:31:46.399
projects.

00:31:47.329 --> 00:31:48.409
And also that's

00:31:48.796 --> 00:31:49.366
Mario: I see.

00:31:50.104 --> 00:31:52.834
Alan: Yeah, so this way,
I'm going to add some

00:31:53.104 --> 00:31:55.684
copy to make it clear of what
it is, but the idea is that

00:31:55.684 --> 00:31:57.424
projects can then come and go.

00:31:57.664 --> 00:32:01.024
Like we might be on a project
together for the next month.

00:32:01.234 --> 00:32:04.024
And then we effectively close archive that

00:32:04.024 --> 00:32:07.379
project, our check-ins for that
project are still kept together.

00:32:07.379 --> 00:32:09.689
They're visible and viewable as a, as a

00:32:09.689 --> 00:32:13.649
collection, but that project can
effectively be archived and, you

00:32:13.649 --> 00:32:16.058
know, we've got it there for if
we need to go back and look at

00:32:16.058 --> 00:32:17.588
it, but it's not an active thing.

00:32:17.888 --> 00:32:25.148
So I think making projects more of a
front and center feature rather than

00:32:25.131 --> 00:32:28.784
trying to do it ad hoc via teams and
me not communicating that very well.

00:32:29.024 --> 00:32:32.639
It made it very clear when people
started to try and use it as like people

00:32:32.639 --> 00:32:34.379
aren't that we're not on the same way.

00:32:35.309 --> 00:32:39.871
So I've tried the wording and talk
through this with people the people who

00:32:39.871 --> 00:32:41.221
did that and they're like, oh, okay.

00:32:41.471 --> 00:32:42.121
That, that makes sense.

00:32:42.121 --> 00:32:42.331
Now.

00:32:43.741 --> 00:32:48.511
So I think that's, it's not a
major change on my end, but I think

00:32:48.511 --> 00:32:52.169
it's it's, it's a slightly more
work than the workspace change.

00:32:52.209 --> 00:32:53.829
But I think it,

00:32:55.329 --> 00:33:00.729
get it, it kind of gets across my
intention better than the teams,

00:33:00.729 --> 00:33:04.730
which I, my idea is to kind of make it

00:33:04.778 --> 00:33:06.158
I guess human hackable, right?

00:33:06.578 --> 00:33:10.208
That that's my intention is
to not like force people down

00:33:10.208 --> 00:33:11.948
a particular way of using it.

00:33:12.218 --> 00:33:16.868
But what I'm finding is that people
are  rather than doing that, people are

00:33:16.868 --> 00:33:20.648
reading into something and then making
assumptions about how it should be used.

00:33:20.978 --> 00:33:22.928
I guess this is, I think I've
talked about this before.

00:33:22.928 --> 00:33:25.898
I like this idea of giving people
some tool sets and then going

00:33:25.988 --> 00:33:27.908
figure out, make this work for you.

00:33:27.895 --> 00:33:29.905
What I'm realizing is
people aren't doing that.

00:33:31.315 --> 00:33:36.415
People are making an assumption
about what I want them to do, and

00:33:36.415 --> 00:33:39.303
then say assuming that that's what
they have to do and that's it.

00:33:39.336 --> 00:33:42.126
So I think I'm going to have
to lead people by the hand a

00:33:42.126 --> 00:33:44.226
little bit more than I was doing.

00:33:44.226 --> 00:33:47.106
So rather than having this ad
hoc teams that you can use it in

00:33:47.316 --> 00:33:51.546
whatever way suits you, then now I'm
going to say you've got projects.

00:33:51.546 --> 00:33:55.176
You know what a project is, make a project
and then we'll archive the project.

00:33:55.176 --> 00:33:57.016
You finished it, close the
project and archive it.

00:33:57.036 --> 00:33:57.306
Okay.

00:33:57.336 --> 00:33:57.786
I get that.

00:33:57.816 --> 00:33:59.316
It opens, it closes.

00:33:59.406 --> 00:33:59.796
It's done.

00:33:59.787 --> 00:34:06.137
I think the, I, I was being a little
bit too hippie they're thinking, giving

00:34:06.137 --> 00:34:10.037
people that just here's your tools,
you know, you should figure it out.

00:34:10.097 --> 00:34:10.367
Yeah.

00:34:10.397 --> 00:34:11.537
Maybe that's not what I

00:34:11.537 --> 00:34:11.987
should be doing,

00:34:13.129 --> 00:34:16.543
Mario: yeah, I think you're on
the right path here with changing

00:34:16.543 --> 00:34:19.838
your, thinking about this because
the like you were saying earlier,

00:34:19.838 --> 00:34:22.118
the product it requires a little bit of

00:34:22.118 --> 00:34:23.328
education, right?

00:34:23.328 --> 00:34:25.598
It a little bit of
positioning and education.

00:34:25.598 --> 00:34:25.838
And

00:34:25.838 --> 00:34:30.178
I think making these changes will make it
You're making the product more assertive

00:34:30.178 --> 00:34:34.348
as to what, what it is that it does
and this is how you do it, and this is

00:34:34.348 --> 00:34:36.718
it, you know, instead of leaving it up

00:34:36.718 --> 00:34:37.828
to the user to use it.

00:34:37.828 --> 00:34:38.518
however they,

00:34:39.121 --> 00:34:39.361
Alan: Yeah.

00:34:39.391 --> 00:34:41.131
And that's not 10 tends to

00:34:41.131 --> 00:34:44.041
be my nature, but I'm
realizing that I kind of have

00:34:44.041 --> 00:34:45.541
to be a little bit more if I want

00:34:45.541 --> 00:34:48.569
people to understand what, you know,
how to get the most out of it, Right.

00:34:49.135 --> 00:34:49.775
Mario: yeah, yeah.

00:34:49.795 --> 00:34:50.155
yeah.

00:34:50.185 --> 00:34:50.335
I

00:34:50.335 --> 00:34:51.415
think that's that's the

00:34:51.415 --> 00:34:52.165
right call.

00:34:52.233 --> 00:34:53.373
Yeah, for sure.

00:34:53.493 --> 00:34:55.927
I was going to ask you since
we're talking about the

00:34:55.927 --> 00:34:59.716
UI and, and stuff, when you do a check-in

00:34:59.697 --> 00:35:00.567
is there any way

00:35:00.567 --> 00:35:02.633
to edit what you wrote?

00:35:03.173 --> 00:35:05.213
Cause I, I don't think

00:35:05.336 --> 00:35:08.396
Alan: don't see it because I
removed that feature at the last

00:35:08.396 --> 00:35:09.896
minute because they wanted to

00:35:10.003 --> 00:35:10.303
Change.

00:35:10.333 --> 00:35:11.653
I wasn't happy with how it was working,

00:35:11.653 --> 00:35:14.653
so yeah, the delete are unpublished.

00:35:14.923 --> 00:35:17.653
So yeah, what it was
right now was an edit.

00:35:17.653 --> 00:35:19.963
So you could just go in and change things.

00:35:21.853 --> 00:35:25.723
I wanted to change it
to be an unpublished.

00:35:26.023 --> 00:35:27.763
So if I did something wrong at

00:35:28.033 --> 00:35:33.493
unpublished, this, move it back into your
plan page, fix it, and then republish.

00:35:33.497 --> 00:35:37.427
And I'm thinking I might just
temporarily actually, just until I've

00:35:37.427 --> 00:35:41.197
got that working because that that's,
there's a few complications with that.

00:35:41.197 --> 00:35:44.283
Just the way it manages how
plans get moved around and

00:35:44.364 --> 00:35:45.294
checked off and checked in.

00:35:45.894 --> 00:35:48.932
So I think in the meantime, I'm
just going to have an edit or

00:35:48.932 --> 00:35:52.033
delete just as a short term tool.

00:35:52.092 --> 00:35:56.620
But until I can get the unpublished
finished yeah, you're the first person

00:35:56.620 --> 00:35:57.580
that's bringing it up, actually.

00:35:57.610 --> 00:35:57.850
That's

00:35:57.857 --> 00:35:58.367
Mario: I see.

00:35:58.427 --> 00:35:58.817
Okay.

00:35:59.080 --> 00:35:59.860
Alan: it, yeah.

00:36:00.040 --> 00:36:02.659
But I was waiting, it was one of
those things where I know it wasn't

00:36:02.659 --> 00:36:05.749
working and I'm like, has anybody
noticed yet nobody's done this,

00:36:06.749 --> 00:36:06.869
I'm

00:36:06.869 --> 00:36:07.109
glad you.

00:36:07.372 --> 00:36:08.542
Mario: The other day I, posted,

00:36:08.542 --> 00:36:10.392
something and I wanted to change it.

00:36:10.392 --> 00:36:11.372
I want to edit it and

00:36:11.372 --> 00:36:12.392
I, couldn't find a way.

00:36:12.392 --> 00:36:12.512
And

00:36:12.512 --> 00:36:14.357
I was like, huh, I'm going to ask Alan

00:36:15.777 --> 00:36:16.107
. 
Alan: So

00:36:16.107 --> 00:36:16.227
Yeah.

00:36:16.227 --> 00:36:17.967
I've held off on inviting any

00:36:17.967 --> 00:36:18.147
more

00:36:18.147 --> 00:36:20.266
people because I kind of want to

00:36:20.266 --> 00:36:22.096
implement these and then get

00:36:22.179 --> 00:36:23.289
the right kind of feedback.

00:36:23.289 --> 00:36:23.529
right

00:36:24.099 --> 00:36:26.289
So I get the feeling now, if, if I entered

00:36:26.289 --> 00:36:27.726
use anybody else I

00:36:27.726 --> 00:36:29.705
wanted to get some more
people invited last

00:36:29.705 --> 00:36:32.130
weekend or before last
like sometime last week.

00:36:32.220 --> 00:36:35.820
And then when I kind of made these
realizations, I'm like, I do, I

00:36:35.820 --> 00:36:39.510
have to get people on board and then
tell them how it's going to change.

00:36:39.540 --> 00:36:40.800
And I'm like, that's, that's not cool.

00:36:41.730 --> 00:36:45.360
So I'd rather get, at least some of
these changes made and then be like,

00:36:45.570 --> 00:36:48.990
okay, now we've got some more valid,
you know, better feedback because it's.

00:36:50.190 --> 00:36:51.420
The better version.

00:36:51.420 --> 00:36:51.600
Right.

00:36:52.290 --> 00:36:56.550
So yeah, those, those changes
are currently being done.

00:36:56.610 --> 00:36:59.730
So hopefully, and I'm gonna try
and get them finished this weekend.

00:37:00.630 --> 00:37:04.257
And then hopefully next week I
can introduce some, also invite

00:37:04.257 --> 00:37:05.037
some more people on board.

00:37:05.697 --> 00:37:08.607
So it's, yeah, it's frustrating.

00:37:08.607 --> 00:37:12.867
Cause I I'm now like, ah, I kind
of just want more people, but I'm

00:37:12.867 --> 00:37:14.937
also like, okay, don't waste this.

00:37:14.919 --> 00:37:19.192
Now as I've made some good new
understandings, don't waste

00:37:19.222 --> 00:37:21.502
those people on old learnings.

00:37:21.502 --> 00:37:21.712
Right.

00:37:22.792 --> 00:37:23.122
So,

00:37:23.204 --> 00:37:23.864
Mario: exactly.

00:37:23.954 --> 00:37:24.794
No, that's good.

00:37:24.824 --> 00:37:25.634
That's a good call.

00:37:25.696 --> 00:37:26.296
Cool.

00:37:26.553 --> 00:37:27.123
Alan: quite fun.

00:37:27.136 --> 00:37:28.276
Mario: It's looking, really good.

00:37:28.906 --> 00:37:29.176
Alan: Thank you.

00:37:29.453 --> 00:37:32.027
I so my wife has just gone

00:37:32.027 --> 00:37:35.349
through my get text file
and translated everything.

00:37:35.349 --> 00:37:36.639
So we've got a first

00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.515
pass of Japanese in there as well,
which will be I haven't merged in

00:37:39.515 --> 00:37:41.464
yet, but it's quite exciting to have

00:37:41.464 --> 00:37:44.194
like, oh, we've got like the
whole UI in Japanese now.

00:37:44.254 --> 00:37:44.554
So,

00:37:45.604 --> 00:37:46.234
which is interesting.

00:37:46.234 --> 00:37:46.834
Cause I've got a

00:37:46.862 --> 00:37:48.702
a It's a, it'll be fun.

00:37:48.702 --> 00:37:50.457
So I've got a talked about the

00:37:50.457 --> 00:37:53.110
startup hub in Fukuoka
that I'm a member of.

00:37:53.860 --> 00:37:54.820
So obviously because of

00:37:55.030 --> 00:37:58.780
COVID w I haven't been as
active there as I would like

00:37:58.780 --> 00:38:01.840
to be, but one thing they do is

00:38:01.955 --> 00:38:06.395
we have like a six monthly,
like, meeting with them.

00:38:06.605 --> 00:38:07.835
So I've got a meeting

00:38:07.835 --> 00:38:12.913
next week with people from FGN, the
actual It is a co-working space,

00:38:12.913 --> 00:38:15.560
but it's more than that, you know,
it's this like startup that they're

00:38:15.560 --> 00:38:19.550
trying to, you know, support and grow
startups in the city rather than just

00:38:19.550 --> 00:38:20.960
being like, yeah, you can have a desk.

00:38:21.650 --> 00:38:26.570
So I've got a meeting next week with
people from FGN and also apparently people

00:38:26.570 --> 00:38:28.580
from the city and I'm like, Ooh, okay.

00:38:29.660 --> 00:38:33.753
I don't know what, but they kind of
want to, you know, know how it's going.

00:38:33.753 --> 00:38:35.853
Just talk about like, what, what I need.

00:38:35.853 --> 00:38:38.542
So they're like, what can we
do to help grow the company?

00:38:38.542 --> 00:38:43.912
So having a working Japanese version will
be kind of cool to be able to go look, you

00:38:44.362 --> 00:38:45.152
please use it.

00:38:45.362 --> 00:38:46.332
Mario: That's That's awesome

00:38:46.332 --> 00:38:51.142
Alan: So, yeah, they're always looking
at ways to, to let the, you know, to try

00:38:51.142 --> 00:38:52.792
and get the city or companies within.

00:38:53.557 --> 00:38:56.626
That kind of network to to
support startups and to help.

00:38:56.626 --> 00:39:00.346
So if there's something that they can
say, all right, you know, like we know a

00:39:00.496 --> 00:39:06.676
team within our department or in a company
that will help you test this in Japan.

00:39:06.676 --> 00:39:08.086
So I'm hoping that.

00:39:08.086 --> 00:39:09.406
I can get something from that.

00:39:09.406 --> 00:39:12.466
So it's, as I said, that they
seem very proactive in trying

00:39:12.466 --> 00:39:15.723
to get things, you know, try and
get startups working and better.

00:39:16.593 --> 00:39:18.273
So that's been fun.

00:39:18.290 --> 00:39:22.052
And what are the fun things of, I
had this an interesting one as well.

00:39:22.262 --> 00:39:25.532
I've I haven't published it
yet, but you know, we've got

00:39:25.532 --> 00:39:28.142
the, how you're feeling aspect.

00:39:28.177 --> 00:39:30.559
You know, you've got the
emoji mood check in, right.

00:39:30.557 --> 00:39:33.308
I had somebody request one for being.

00:39:34.043 --> 00:39:35.603
And I'm like, oh, that's obvious.

00:39:35.603 --> 00:39:38.423
Like, especially in this
day, in these times.

00:39:38.423 --> 00:39:38.633
Right.

00:39:38.783 --> 00:39:43.375
So if I did there, that little sick
guy, emoji with his thermometer as, and

00:39:43.392 --> 00:39:46.952
it's, it's kind of one of those you're
like, oh yeah, I never thought of that,

00:39:46.982 --> 00:39:50.852
but it's like, you might not be, you're
still working and checking in, but

00:39:50.852 --> 00:39:51.932
I'm feeling a bit under the weather.

00:39:51.992 --> 00:39:56.522
I'm like, oh yeah, that that's actually
quite cool, but I'm not sad and I'm not

00:39:56.522 --> 00:39:58.334
happy, but I'm just feeling a bit off.

00:39:58.364 --> 00:39:58.754
So

00:39:58.994 --> 00:40:02.425
I've added my intention is to make
that completely flexible to have

00:40:02.425 --> 00:40:06.674
that customizable either by the user
or by the  the workspace manager.

00:40:06.747 --> 00:40:09.087
But for now I want to
try and keep it concise

00:40:09.087 --> 00:40:10.707
to just like, you know, five or six.

00:40:10.695 --> 00:40:13.324
So I've added that as a via request.

00:40:13.354 --> 00:40:13.804
So that's

00:40:13.804 --> 00:40:14.014
fun.

00:40:14.942 --> 00:40:15.662
Mario: Oh, I see that.

00:40:15.662 --> 00:40:17.012
And yeah, that's awesome.

00:40:17.134 --> 00:40:17.704
Alan: I did, actually

00:40:18.002 --> 00:40:19.082
Mario: The little guy with the

00:40:19.714 --> 00:40:19.894
Alan: yeah,

00:40:20.702 --> 00:40:21.832
Mario: it's The guy with the

00:40:21.832 --> 00:40:23.810
the emoji with the thermometer.

00:40:23.810 --> 00:40:24.140
Right.

00:40:24.472 --> 00:40:24.742
Alan: that's.

00:40:25.050 --> 00:40:26.110
Mario: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:40:26.120 --> 00:40:26.550
It's here.

00:40:27.420 --> 00:40:28.080
I see it.

00:40:28.770 --> 00:40:29.370
That's cool.

00:40:29.447 --> 00:40:29.657
Alan: did.

00:40:29.807 --> 00:40:30.077
I did

00:40:30.077 --> 00:40:30.557
publish that.

00:40:30.557 --> 00:40:30.857
Cool.

00:40:31.277 --> 00:40:31.937
So that's

00:40:31.937 --> 00:40:32.267
actually,

00:40:32.267 --> 00:40:33.677
the, the project thing also

00:40:33.677 --> 00:40:35.117
helps with The you know, how you

00:40:35.117 --> 00:40:36.677
have this organization,

00:40:36.677 --> 00:40:36.887
your

00:40:36.887 --> 00:40:39.317
teams following teams, again, that kind of

00:40:39.317 --> 00:40:41.417
makes that something I

00:40:41.417 --> 00:40:42.942
can I can play with a lot more

00:40:42.972 --> 00:40:46.542
because this idea of like, which
projects you're on, I can bring

00:40:46.542 --> 00:40:50.458
projects a little bit more in
focus as to how you use the app.

00:40:50.485 --> 00:40:54.205
So it, it actually, it's
funny how just a word change.

00:40:54.805 --> 00:40:58.465
I actually did toy with the idea of
actually just renaming teams and I'm like,

00:40:58.495 --> 00:40:59.785
no, it actually deserves more than that.

00:41:00.655 --> 00:41:01.045
Actually.

00:41:01.045 --> 00:41:02.245
I think there's more I can do with it.

00:41:02.515 --> 00:41:09.235
Once you've changed the wording for
something in your mind, it almost changes

00:41:09.445 --> 00:41:14.635
how I think of that feature, even though
I had, it's very similar intentions,

00:41:15.685 --> 00:41:17.215
the change of wording actually.

00:41:18.040 --> 00:41:21.910
Made me realize things I
could be doing with it that I

00:41:21.910 --> 00:41:22.990
haven't really thought about.

00:41:23.020 --> 00:41:26.950
So it's, it's crazy how
important copy is, right.

00:41:27.170 --> 00:41:28.450
Just like naming things.

00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:28.690
Is

00:41:29.417 --> 00:41:29.777
Mario: Yeah.

00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:34.120
Alan: it almost like frame some
thinking in your mind that it closed?

00:41:34.180 --> 00:41:38.020
I may have even mentioned this before,
but they just, by calling it one thing,

00:41:38.260 --> 00:41:41.020
you almost like build up barriers
that it can't be something else.

00:41:41.087 --> 00:41:48.635
And I think by just renaming those things,
workspace and projects, it, it reframes

00:41:48.635 --> 00:41:52.675
them different and they, they take on a
different life or new life because they're

00:41:52.805 --> 00:41:58.145
less closeted or less like closed in as
to what that thing thinker feature is.

00:41:58.625 --> 00:42:00.515
So it's actually quite, quite exciting.

00:42:00.515 --> 00:42:04.685
It's like, ah, yeah, this actually
gives me a whole new set of ideas and

00:42:04.925 --> 00:42:09.455
that the trick now is not doing that,
but just starting down that path,

00:42:09.455 --> 00:42:10.821
you know, like you know, trying to.

00:42:10.861 --> 00:42:14.221
Scope those changes to the fact that,
okay, right now you've got projects.

00:42:14.221 --> 00:42:18.331
Just add to that move teams,
change workspace, and then, okay.

00:42:18.331 --> 00:42:19.381
That step is done.

00:42:19.381 --> 00:42:20.371
Don't try to

00:42:21.241 --> 00:42:21.481
get

00:42:21.481 --> 00:42:22.051
onto this whole,

00:42:22.051 --> 00:42:22.291
well, I

00:42:22.419 --> 00:42:22.869
Mario: Do the whole

00:42:22.891 --> 00:42:24.301
Alan: until yeah, exactly.

00:42:24.301 --> 00:42:27.684
So but at least it then frames
in other people's mind that

00:42:27.684 --> 00:42:29.274
there are other possibilities.

00:42:29.544 --> 00:42:31.944
I think by having teams, people

00:42:31.944 --> 00:42:34.374
assumed it has a limit, right?

00:42:34.494 --> 00:42:38.034
Oh, because teams are this and that's it.

00:42:38.904 --> 00:42:44.004
Whereas I think by having projects,
it kind of is suggests that the

00:42:44.004 --> 00:42:45.264
feature will be taken further.

00:42:45.294 --> 00:42:45.624
Right.

00:42:45.658 --> 00:42:48.868
Because there's, you know, there's the
possibility of interaction with other

00:42:48.868 --> 00:42:52.593
tools while you might have you know,
you might want to import your projects

00:42:52.593 --> 00:42:54.993
from your PM tool or things like that.

00:42:54.993 --> 00:42:55.623
So there's.

00:42:57.033 --> 00:42:59.853
Yeah, it's really hammered home.

00:42:59.883 --> 00:43:03.699
Just how important getting these
this naming stuff is writers.

00:43:03.789 --> 00:43:04.059
So,

00:43:05.042 --> 00:43:05.372
Mario: Yeah.

00:43:05.469 --> 00:43:06.609
Alan: I feel I'm on the right path anyway.

00:43:08.372 --> 00:43:09.602
Mario: I, yeah, I think so.

00:43:09.614 --> 00:43:10.604
And, and you're right.

00:43:10.844 --> 00:43:13.270
Naming things is one is really

00:43:13.270 --> 00:43:14.230
difficult, but it's,

00:43:14.230 --> 00:43:15.850
difficult, I think, because of

00:43:15.850 --> 00:43:18.980
the ramifications of naming
something and, like you

00:43:18.980 --> 00:43:20.120
said, it kind of

00:43:20.120 --> 00:43:24.920
puts you in a mindset and it
frames what that thing is, and

00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:26.360
it boxes you in.

00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:26.690
Right.

00:43:26.690 --> 00:43:27.980
so it's pretty critical

00:43:28.010 --> 00:43:28.970
naming things is,

00:43:28.970 --> 00:43:32.669
Alan: yeah, you've got
shows, sessions recordings.

00:43:32.669 --> 00:43:33.179
And

00:43:34.619 --> 00:43:37.919
after the, after you figured it out,
it all makes, it seems obvious, right?

00:43:37.919 --> 00:43:39.659
It's like, well, of course
it's a, this or that.

00:43:39.659 --> 00:43:39.899
Right.

00:43:40.139 --> 00:43:42.209
But getting there is not
as easy as it sounds.

00:43:42.767 --> 00:43:43.037
Mario: yeah.

00:43:43.037 --> 00:43:45.573
And oh man, I've changed it so many times.

00:43:45.573 --> 00:43:50.393
I, I, if I don't know, I don't even
remember how many times I changed

00:43:50.393 --> 00:43:54.143
the structure of the organization
of, things within Fusioncast.

00:43:54.165 --> 00:43:54.525
Cause,

00:43:54.607 --> 00:43:58.717
Yeah, I thought of one way and
then it didn't work very well.

00:43:58.717 --> 00:44:00.407
And then at some point I

00:44:00.407 --> 00:44:00.827
had,

00:44:00.906 --> 00:44:02.976
Sessions all mixed into,

00:44:02.986 --> 00:44:07.086
into one place and I didn't have
the concept of scheduled sessions

00:44:07.086 --> 00:44:11.346
and unscheduled sessions, which then
later I renamed to any time sessions.

00:44:11.856 --> 00:44:12.126
Yeah.

00:44:12.216 --> 00:44:13.956
So many, so many

00:44:13.978 --> 00:44:17.488
Alan: But again, that idea of like
an unscheduled session versus an

00:44:17.488 --> 00:44:18.868
anytime session is actually like,

00:44:19.288 --> 00:44:22.768
again, it changes how I
even think about what that

00:44:22.768 --> 00:44:23.638
might be used for.

00:44:23.638 --> 00:44:23.968
Right.

00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:25.230
If I have like an,

00:44:25.230 --> 00:44:25.410
any

00:44:25.410 --> 00:44:25.860
time session.

00:44:25.890 --> 00:44:26.190
Oh yeah.

00:44:26.190 --> 00:44:27.510
Well, I'm just dropping it on the call.

00:44:27.510 --> 00:44:28.020
It makes sense.

00:44:28.020 --> 00:44:28.740
And unscheduled

00:44:28.740 --> 00:44:30.720
it's like, was I supposed
to show you a late,

00:44:32.640 --> 00:44:34.080
it almost suggests that I'm doing

00:44:34.080 --> 00:44:35.340
something wrong by doing that.

00:44:35.370 --> 00:44:36.630
It's like, well, it's unscheduled.

00:44:36.630 --> 00:44:38.880
It might be, it should be
scheduled, but I'm doing it wrong.

00:44:38.910 --> 00:44:39.150
Right.

00:44:39.420 --> 00:44:40.380
So it's

00:44:40.643 --> 00:44:44.276
Mario: yeah, yeah, I'm happy to hear your

00:44:44.311 --> 00:44:48.388
going down this path of renaming
certain things and reorganizing things.

00:44:48.456 --> 00:44:53.286
I think that's gonna make the product
more intuitive and position it better

00:44:53.286 --> 00:44:54.873
and make it easier for the user.

00:44:56.015 --> 00:44:58.305
just to understand what
the tool does, you know?

00:44:59.019 --> 00:44:59.259
Alan: Yeah.

00:44:59.259 --> 00:44:59.289
I

00:44:59.289 --> 00:45:01.269
mean, my goal is To minimize

00:45:01.269 --> 00:45:02.679
the amount of additional

00:45:02.679 --> 00:45:03.969
explanation I need to do.

00:45:04.029 --> 00:45:05.767
I mean, I envisioned I'm

00:45:05.767 --> 00:45:08.677
going to have to have some
amount of, you know, onscreen,

00:45:08.947 --> 00:45:10.657
you know, prompts and copy and things,

00:45:10.657 --> 00:45:13.927
but the, the hope is that yeah.

00:45:13.957 --> 00:45:16.095
People's What people understand when

00:45:16.095 --> 00:45:19.665
they see a particular page or
phrase that they'll understand

00:45:19.665 --> 00:45:21.435
through the context of the name.

00:45:21.465 --> 00:45:25.635
And what's presented on the page rather
than me having to have explainers and

00:45:26.205 --> 00:45:30.195
pointers and question marks all over the
place, you know, I'd rather not do that.

00:45:30.645 --> 00:45:30.945
So

00:45:31.406 --> 00:45:32.366
Mario: Yeah, yeah.

00:45:32.966 --> 00:45:33.566
Cool.

00:45:33.874 --> 00:45:34.714
Well, anything else?

00:45:34.714 --> 00:45:35.194
you

00:45:35.194 --> 00:45:35.434
want to

00:45:35.471 --> 00:45:35.591
Alan: for

00:45:35.591 --> 00:45:35.831
now.

00:45:37.264 --> 00:45:37.774
Mario: That's it

00:45:37.961 --> 00:45:38.981
Alan: it for this week, it's

00:45:38.981 --> 00:45:41.752
been a been a busy one,
but it feels like progress.

00:45:41.752 --> 00:45:41.962
Yeah.

00:45:41.992 --> 00:45:42.352
It's

00:45:42.409 --> 00:45:45.169
it does feel like things
are constantly improving, so

00:45:45.679 --> 00:45:46.099
that's good.

00:45:46.099 --> 00:45:46.909
It's a long journey.

00:45:46.909 --> 00:45:48.199
This is not an overnight.

00:45:48.301 --> 00:45:49.231
It's not an overnight

00:45:49.369 --> 00:45:49.819
project.

00:45:49.819 --> 00:45:51.049
Is it either of

00:45:51.206 --> 00:45:55.108
Mario: It is not making
software is not easy.

00:45:55.108 --> 00:45:57.443
I saw a tweet by Ian Landsman.

00:45:57.443 --> 00:45:58.703
I don't know if you're familiar with him.

00:45:58.703 --> 00:45:59.063
He's

00:45:59.108 --> 00:46:00.638
been around for awhile.

00:46:00.638 --> 00:46:06.729
He's started his SaaS some, I don't
know, 20 years ago or however long.

00:46:06.729 --> 00:46:08.041
It is a long time ago.

00:46:08.067 --> 00:46:10.227
He so his company builds

00:46:10.309 --> 00:46:12.019
Help desk software,

00:46:12.201 --> 00:46:12.621
Alan: Okay.

00:46:12.889 --> 00:46:13.429
Mario: I think.

00:46:13.429 --> 00:46:16.531
UserScape is the name of the
company, I can't remember now, but

00:46:16.501 --> 00:46:18.187
he's big in the Laravel community.

00:46:18.187 --> 00:46:23.698
He's he was actually one of the people who
discovered Laravel in the early stages.

00:46:23.698 --> 00:46:26.939
And he hired Taylor Outwell
who's the creator of Laravel.

00:46:26.959 --> 00:46:28.832
And so he's pretty well
known in the community.

00:46:28.901 --> 00:46:32.204
he posted something on Twitter that
said something like programmers,

00:46:32.142 --> 00:46:33.368
credo,   we do these

00:46:33.368 --> 00:46:33.578
things.

00:46:33.910 --> 00:46:34.600
Not because

00:46:34.600 --> 00:46:36.910
they're easy, but because
we thought they were

00:46:36.910 --> 00:46:37.960
going to be easy,

00:46:38.703 --> 00:46:39.303
Alan: That's exactly.

00:46:40.660 --> 00:46:41.800
Mario: I thought it was pretty funny.

00:46:42.640 --> 00:46:42.850
Yeah.

00:46:43.233 --> 00:46:43.743
Alan: Exactly.

00:46:45.573 --> 00:46:45.783
I know.

00:46:45.783 --> 00:46:47.763
You think well, it's
how difficult can it be?

00:46:47.763 --> 00:46:50.643
You know, famous last words,

00:46:50.780 --> 00:46:51.260
Mario: yeah.

00:46:51.586 --> 00:46:54.316
Alan: I think that's what makes it
fun though, is knowing that yeah.

00:46:54.343 --> 00:46:56.703
easy, you would probably wouldn't
want to do it in the first place.

00:46:57.203 --> 00:46:57.593
Mario: Yeah,

00:46:57.653 --> 00:46:58.373
exactly.

00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:00.280
that's kinda how I feel about Fusioncast.

00:47:00.300 --> 00:47:02.670
if I had known it was going
to be so challenging, I

00:47:02.670 --> 00:47:03.750
probably wouldn't have started.

00:47:03.750 --> 00:47:06.750
So it's a good thing that
I didn't think about that.

00:47:06.750 --> 00:47:11.600
And didn't know that because
otherwise I wouldn't have started it

00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:12.120
Alan: Yep.

00:47:13.378 --> 00:47:16.158
Mario: yeah, I just, just,
got to keep going forward.

00:47:16.824 --> 00:47:17.334
Alan: Absolutely.

00:47:17.556 --> 00:47:17.916
Mario: Cool.

00:47:18.126 --> 00:47:18.546
Awesome.

00:47:19.490 --> 00:47:20.930
All right, Allen, this is probably a good.

00:47:20.930 --> 00:47:21.800
time to wrap it up.

00:47:21.864 --> 00:47:23.074
Have a great.

00:47:23.074 --> 00:47:25.809
rest of the week and I'll
see You in a couple of weeks.

00:47:26.071 --> 00:47:26.731
Alan: catch you next time.

00:47:26.791 --> 00:47:27.181
Cheers man.
