Alan: So, hello.

00:00:01.020 --> 00:00:01.690
Hey, how's it going?

00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:02.500
Mario: hey!

00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:04.410
Today is one of those days.

00:00:04.445 --> 00:00:04.865
Alan: One of those

00:00:04.865 --> 00:00:05.107
days?

00:00:05.107 --> 00:00:05.348
Yeah.

00:00:05.590 --> 00:00:05.832
I know.

00:00:05.832 --> 00:00:06.315
oh man.

00:00:06.315 --> 00:00:06.795
Mario: Yeah.

00:00:06.885 --> 00:00:08.355
Today is been,

00:00:08.355 --> 00:00:10.527
This whole week has
been a frustrating week.

00:00:10.617 --> 00:00:11.247
Actually.

00:00:11.247 --> 00:00:12.897
We have a lot going on around

00:00:12.897 --> 00:00:13.377
here.

00:00:13.435 --> 00:00:17.954
My wife and I have some
plumbing issues at our place and

00:00:17.936 --> 00:00:18.232
Alan: the word?

00:00:18.232 --> 00:00:19.102
Plumbing is the worst.

00:00:19.102 --> 00:00:19.552
Like

00:00:19.582 --> 00:00:20.182
electricity.

00:00:20.182 --> 00:00:21.292
You're like, oh, we haven't got light.

00:00:21.322 --> 00:00:22.072
Water is

00:00:22.072 --> 00:00:22.852
like a nightmare.

00:00:23.092 --> 00:00:23.572
Mario: Yeah.

00:00:23.722 --> 00:00:24.292
Yeah.

00:00:24.532 --> 00:00:25.062
So we

00:00:25.062 --> 00:00:25.962
we had a

00:00:25.972 --> 00:00:32.081
leak from one of our bathrooms
upstairs and they came and they fixed.

00:00:32.081 --> 00:00:36.281
They found that there were two different
problems and they fixed a one of them.

00:00:36.261 --> 00:00:40.778
The simpler one, and then they found
the other one that's more complicated.

00:00:41.708 --> 00:00:43.328
So they haven't fixed that one yet.

00:00:43.358 --> 00:00:47.908
Meanwhile, we can't use all
of the bathroom upstairs.

00:00:47.938 --> 00:00:50.278
Luckily we have another
bathroom downstairs.

00:00:51.055 --> 00:00:57.265
and so the reason It's taking forever
is because they found asbestos in

00:00:57.475 --> 00:00:58.355
Oh, no.

00:00:58.355 --> 00:00:58.795
in

00:00:58.838 --> 00:01:03.548
Mario: the dry wall in the area that they
need to access to fix the plumbing issue.

00:01:04.208 --> 00:01:05.078
So, and that is.

00:01:05.338 --> 00:01:07.168
Alan: to a standstill until
they can deal with that,

00:01:07.168 --> 00:01:07.408
right?

00:01:07.443 --> 00:01:08.223
Mario: Exactly.

00:01:08.223 --> 00:01:08.913
So

00:01:09.183 --> 00:01:10.773
this, this home was built in

00:01:10.773 --> 00:01:12.393
the seventies, I think.

00:01:12.393 --> 00:01:16.593
So it has some as,

00:01:16.593 --> 00:01:17.203
Alan: throw asbestos on

00:01:17.228 --> 00:01:17.588
everything

00:01:17.733 --> 00:01:18.633
Mario: Yeah.

00:01:18.693 --> 00:01:19.113
Yeah.

00:01:19.113 --> 00:01:20.853
So, so the

00:01:21.063 --> 00:01:26.553
area they need to access is
downstairs in the ceiling below,

00:01:27.183 --> 00:01:31.083
you know, where the bathroom is
upstairs and it's a utility closet.

00:01:31.083 --> 00:01:33.083
So luckily is pretty isolated.

00:01:33.263 --> 00:01:38.153
You know, it's inside a utility closet
where we have the water heater and, and

00:01:38.204 --> 00:01:40.804
there's a central air unit there as well.

00:01:41.464 --> 00:01:45.882
And so we're waiting for just got
word today that they are going to be

00:01:45.882 --> 00:01:50.442
here tomorrow to continue because the
test results came back and, you know,

00:01:50.452 --> 00:01:53.502
they have, now they know what they're
dealing with and they're going to come

00:01:53.502 --> 00:01:56.892
in and, and start the abatement process.

00:01:57.522 --> 00:01:58.512
So we're dealing with that.

00:01:58.512 --> 00:02:02.657
And then at the same time we're
reconfiguring some rooms in the house.

00:02:02.657 --> 00:02:06.947
My wife is setting up her
office space somewhere else.

00:02:06.947 --> 00:02:10.337
So we've moved furniture and
all kinds of stuff around and

00:02:10.637 --> 00:02:12.077
everything is upside down.

00:02:12.077 --> 00:02:12.527
It's like,

00:02:14.797 --> 00:02:16.627
Alan: I know that feeling
well, and I hate it.

00:02:16.787 --> 00:02:17.627
Mario: yeah.

00:02:18.047 --> 00:02:18.167
And

00:02:18.307 --> 00:02:22.147
Alan: It makes you appreciate the, when
things are back to normal again, so,

00:02:22.147 --> 00:02:22.687
much more though,

00:02:23.037 --> 00:02:23.547
Mario: yeah.

00:02:23.607 --> 00:02:24.207
Yeah.

00:02:24.237 --> 00:02:29.140
And as part of that process, we sold
this huge cabinet that we had, you

00:02:29.140 --> 00:02:33.120
know, kinda like a dresser, you know,
for clothes and stuff, but it was

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.510
like pretty big and it was too big.

00:02:35.530 --> 00:02:39.710
We've been wanting to get rid of it for a
long time and we finally sold it online.

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:43.833
And that means all of the, all
of our stuff that was there

00:02:43.833 --> 00:02:46.173
now is everywhere is out.

00:02:46.173 --> 00:02:48.043
And we're in transition.

00:02:48.073 --> 00:02:50.537
We're buying a smaller piece of furniture.

00:02:50.837 --> 00:02:51.377
Alan: Well, you don't have

00:02:51.377 --> 00:02:51.467
it

00:02:51.622 --> 00:02:52.612
Mario: But we don't have it yet.

00:02:52.612 --> 00:02:54.802
So everything is like, so everything is a

00:02:54.802 --> 00:02:55.222
mess.

00:02:55.222 --> 00:02:56.512
The whole house is a mess.

00:02:58.217 --> 00:03:02.267
Alan: It's it has a, like a big effect
on your, just your mental balance.

00:03:02.297 --> 00:03:03.317
It's like, oh God,

00:03:03.782 --> 00:03:04.592
Mario: It does.

00:03:04.757 --> 00:03:05.417
Alan: I just go into my

00:03:05.417 --> 00:03:05.927
laptop.

00:03:06.557 --> 00:03:07.517
It's calmer in there.

00:03:07.517 --> 00:03:07.757
Right.

00:03:08.002 --> 00:03:08.572
Mario: Yeah,

00:03:08.747 --> 00:03:09.437
Alan: maybe it's not,

00:03:09.652 --> 00:03:09.922
Mario: is.

00:03:09.952 --> 00:03:11.272
And see, that's the thing.

00:03:11.322 --> 00:03:11.880
That's on the

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:16.790
personal end of things, but also on
the work side of things, I'm dealing

00:03:16.790 --> 00:03:19.363
with this issue with fusion cast that

00:03:19.363 --> 00:03:21.643
I'm, I still haven't been able to resolve.

00:03:21.673 --> 00:03:25.270
And so even that's not going
the way I want it to go.

00:03:26.435 --> 00:03:29.555
Alan: but you don't even have the luxury
of going away, going out to the house

00:03:29.585 --> 00:03:31.205
to work and leave the mess behind.

00:03:31.205 --> 00:03:31.355
Right.

00:03:31.355 --> 00:03:31.475
It's

00:03:31.650 --> 00:03:33.450
Mario: No, it's it's right here.

00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:34.350
I'm surrounded by

00:03:34.350 --> 00:03:34.470
it.

00:03:34.470 --> 00:03:35.850
As we speak, everything is a

00:03:35.850 --> 00:03:36.300
mess.

00:03:36.755 --> 00:03:38.315
Alan: I know it well, and it's no

00:03:38.315 --> 00:03:38.525
fun.

00:03:38.730 --> 00:03:39.360
Mario: Yeah.

00:03:39.630 --> 00:03:40.020
Yeah.

00:03:40.055 --> 00:03:40.835
Alan: have my sympathy.

00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:41.560
Mario: Thank you.

00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.790
yeah, so this recording issue.

00:03:44.990 --> 00:03:51.110
The recording itself is working, but
the problem is with one of the features

00:03:51.110 --> 00:03:55.459
that I introduced, which I, I should
have done before from the beginning

00:03:55.471 --> 00:04:00.117
which is remote controlled recording,
where the host has control of recording.

00:04:00.777 --> 00:04:05.325
And when the host clicks record, then
everyone, everyone in the session

00:04:05.325 --> 00:04:09.825
starts recording automatically remotely,
You know, after all, this is a remote

00:04:09.825 --> 00:04:10.980
recording tool, so

00:04:10.980 --> 00:04:11.365
Yeah.

00:04:11.415 --> 00:04:12.105
Mario: have that.

00:04:12.816 --> 00:04:13.296
And

00:04:13.321 --> 00:04:18.883
I introduced that feature and it was
working perfectly on my dev environment.

00:04:18.863 --> 00:04:23.194
Then I pushed it to production and it
doesn't work there for some reason.

00:04:23.224 --> 00:04:25.684
And I don't understand
why there are no errors.

00:04:26.134 --> 00:04:29.434
There's nothing, you know, it's
just, it just doesn't do it.

00:04:29.498 --> 00:04:35.069
So it's one of those, and I've been
in contact with a certain cloud

00:04:35.069 --> 00:04:39.517
provider that should go without
mention th no, they've been great.

00:04:39.517 --> 00:04:41.347
They've been pretty supportive support.

00:04:41.347 --> 00:04:41.977
Hasn't been great.

00:04:41.977 --> 00:04:43.777
The only thing is that,
that it takes forever.

00:04:43.777 --> 00:04:48.337
The turnaround time is, you know,
I send a message and then I have

00:04:48.337 --> 00:04:54.127
to wait around 20, about 24 hours, you
know, before I hear back from them.

00:04:54.877 --> 00:04:55.597
And then.

00:04:55.777 --> 00:04:59.167
Alan: what you're using for
basically pushing messages to, from

00:04:59.437 --> 00:05:00.697
the server to the client, right.

00:05:00.727 --> 00:05:01.987
In order to get it to do

00:05:01.987 --> 00:05:02.377
something

00:05:02.422 --> 00:05:03.082
Mario: Yeah.

00:05:03.112 --> 00:05:03.352
Yeah.

00:05:03.352 --> 00:05:06.253
So I'm using a couple of
different services for that.

00:05:06.302 --> 00:05:10.202
One of them is that one that
we've talked about before and

00:05:10.532 --> 00:05:11.942
that, that seems to, be working.

00:05:11.942 --> 00:05:12.302
Okay.

00:05:12.302 --> 00:05:17.896
But the other one is it's a different
kind of API that sends more they're more

00:05:17.896 --> 00:05:24.796
like a UDP type messages, you know, so
client to client, kind of thing, no TCP.

00:05:25.006 --> 00:05:26.254
So it's more more

00:05:26.254 --> 00:05:28.984
performant, but the

00:05:28.984 --> 00:05:33.184
Mario: nature of that is that there's no
guarantee that it's going to be received.

00:05:33.904 --> 00:05:36.483
So it's like UDP, like you know,

00:05:37.048 --> 00:05:37.288
Alan: Yeah.

00:05:37.309 --> 00:05:39.872
Mario: Protocol messages and

00:05:39.897 --> 00:05:44.905
I don't know quite yet, if that's even
the problem, you know, if it's something

00:05:44.905 --> 00:05:47.185
to do with UDP or anything like that

00:05:47.585 --> 00:05:53.165
.
So one thing that has been hindering
my progress in troubleshooting

00:05:53.165 --> 00:05:56.789
this, is the fact that I don't
have up until this point, I don't

00:05:56.789 --> 00:05:58.829
have a working staging environment.

00:05:58.919 --> 00:06:01.889
I just have my dev
environment and production.

00:06:02.429 --> 00:06:07.769
And so it kind of, there's certain
things that I can't freely do because

00:06:07.769 --> 00:06:09.449
I don't want to break production.

00:06:09.929 --> 00:06:13.889
So I've the past couple of days
I've been working on setting

00:06:13.889 --> 00:06:17.662
up a proper staging environment
replicating my production environment.

00:06:17.696 --> 00:06:21.669
And that way I can test all kinds
of things without fear of breaking

00:06:21.669 --> 00:06:27.219
anything, and I can enable console log
and I can enable all kinds of logs and

00:06:27.219 --> 00:06:29.829
I'm not having to be in production.

00:06:30.064 --> 00:06:30.794
Alan: yeah, exactly.

00:06:30.794 --> 00:06:31.904
And just breaking other

00:06:31.904 --> 00:06:32.294
people's

00:06:32.304 --> 00:06:34.794
Mario: Or exposing, you know, logs or

00:06:34.794 --> 00:06:37.014
exposing sensitive information.

00:06:37.014 --> 00:06:43.224
so I'm almost at the end of setting
up this staging environment and it's

00:06:43.224 --> 00:06:46.404
time consuming because, you know,
I have to set up with all these

00:06:46.434 --> 00:06:49.324
different services and APIs that I

00:06:49.347 --> 00:06:50.179
use, you know?

00:06:50.414 --> 00:06:50.864
Alan: It's not.

00:06:50.864 --> 00:06:54.284
So it's not so much just that you
need to get your software deployed.

00:06:54.284 --> 00:06:58.004
It's that you're relying on other API
APIs that all need to be up and running,

00:06:58.259 --> 00:06:59.009
Mario: Yeah, yeah.

00:06:59.039 --> 00:07:00.059
So I have to create

00:07:00.509 --> 00:07:05.285
the staging projects, so to
speak in each of these services.

00:07:05.315 --> 00:07:05.645
right?

00:07:05.646 --> 00:07:06.216
So,

00:07:07.206 --> 00:07:12.807
and I have to make sure that I faithfully
recreate what I have in production, and

00:07:12.932 --> 00:07:15.632
Alan: The worst, the worst thing's
going to be, if it works finally staging

00:07:16.747 --> 00:07:17.307
Mario: I know

00:07:17.507 --> 00:07:17.667
that.

00:07:18.932 --> 00:07:19.472
Alan: you're like, oh,

00:07:19.502 --> 00:07:19.802
okay.

00:07:19.982 --> 00:07:22.172
Mario: Yeah, but at least, yeah.

00:07:22.232 --> 00:07:22.832
I don't know.

00:07:22.912 --> 00:07:23.552
Hopefully

00:07:23.582 --> 00:07:23.942
Alan: hope that's

00:07:24.182 --> 00:07:25.892
Mario: I think that's not the case.

00:07:25.922 --> 00:07:27.332
I, you know, it should not

00:07:27.332 --> 00:07:32.912
work and I should be able to see logs
and things like that, or enable logs

00:07:32.912 --> 00:07:34.952
and things like that to, to trace it.

00:07:34.991 --> 00:07:37.241
Alan: Of those things that you
had that you needed to do this

00:07:37.331 --> 00:07:40.181
eventually, but you'd rather
have not had done it right now.

00:07:40.431 --> 00:07:41.091
Mario: Yeah.

00:07:41.151 --> 00:07:41.721
yeah.

00:07:42.531 --> 00:07:43.161
So,

00:07:43.243 --> 00:07:49.384
this thing it's part of the same process
that allows me to show if you notice

00:07:49.384 --> 00:07:55.114
now I have indicators that tell you if
anybody's mic is muted or the camera's

00:07:55.114 --> 00:07:56.654
turned off or anything like that.

00:07:57.014 --> 00:07:58.304
And so those are

00:07:58.378 --> 00:08:03.118
Messages going across that
everyone receives and their

00:08:03.118 --> 00:08:04.888
UI gets updated accordingly.

00:08:04.888 --> 00:08:09.178
And so that same mechanism drives
the remote controlled recording.

00:08:09.313 --> 00:08:09.913
Alan: are working.

00:08:09.913 --> 00:08:11.223
Mario: So, it works

00:08:11.253 --> 00:08:15.393
partially the, I mean, the, see
here, if I disabled my camera,

00:08:15.393 --> 00:08:15.723
Alan: Okay.

00:08:15.723 --> 00:08:16.143
Yeah, that

00:08:16.278 --> 00:08:19.578
Mario: do you see a little
red icon now that works.

00:08:19.578 --> 00:08:20.388
fine, but

00:08:20.388 --> 00:08:22.368
for some reason That part is working.

00:08:22.398 --> 00:08:26.014
But if I enable the remote
control recording which

00:08:26.014 --> 00:08:27.514
actually did it through a flag.

00:08:27.514 --> 00:08:31.804
So there a flag now in the podcast
that you can turn on or off.

00:08:31.804 --> 00:08:34.354
So right now I turned it
off so that we can record.

00:08:34.714 --> 00:08:38.744
So when that flag is on only, I
have a record button as a host.

00:08:39.074 --> 00:08:41.654
You as a guest, wouldn't
see a record button.

00:08:42.104 --> 00:08:47.170
And but turning that flag off, puts
everything back the way it was with

00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.300
you having a record button as well.

00:08:49.750 --> 00:08:56.930
And and so when that flag is on in, and
the host controls, controls recording, if

00:08:56.930 --> 00:09:02.150
I hit record, then that same mechanism,
that's sending data that updates, the

00:09:02.150 --> 00:09:07.640
UI also sends a signal for you to start
recording every participant in the session

00:09:07.640 --> 00:09:08.420
starts recording.

00:09:08.420 --> 00:09:10.400
And for some reason that
part is not working.

00:09:10.400 --> 00:09:11.120
so it's, I

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:11.270
don't

00:09:11.355 --> 00:09:12.105
Alan: That's frustrating.

00:09:12.225 --> 00:09:14.025
So Yeah, the, you need to
know if it's getting the

00:09:14.025 --> 00:09:17.625
message and if it's is getting the
message, why isn't it starting?

00:09:17.625 --> 00:09:19.395
And if it isn't then why not?

00:09:19.690 --> 00:09:20.350
Mario: Exactly.

00:09:20.655 --> 00:09:20.925
Alan: it's

00:09:20.985 --> 00:09:21.185
yeah.

00:09:21.185 --> 00:09:22.725
You don't want to do that
in production because you're

00:09:22.725 --> 00:09:24.255
filling around with logs and

00:09:24.345 --> 00:09:24.585
Yeah.

00:09:24.700 --> 00:09:25.120
Mario: Yeah.

00:09:25.150 --> 00:09:26.350
And, the reason I

00:09:26.350 --> 00:09:26.980
found out about it.

00:09:27.285 --> 00:09:31.673
was because one of the people that
I onboarded a little while back

00:09:31.673 --> 00:09:36.503
actually used the fusion cast to
record, and he ran into some problems

00:09:36.833 --> 00:09:41.403
I'm trying to record, but luckily he
noticed that backup recording was on.

00:09:41.403 --> 00:09:46.173
So he was, he still went on and
recorded an episode with guests.

00:09:46.233 --> 00:09:49.625
And you know, I'm assuming he
knew that backup recording was on.

00:09:49.625 --> 00:09:52.750
So he took his chances and still did it.

00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.583
There was no local recording for
anybody else, but himself, but

00:09:56.583 --> 00:09:57.783
back our recording was there.

00:09:58.083 --> 00:10:00.453
and so he messaged me later and asked me

00:10:00.453 --> 00:10:02.193
if I could give him the backups.

00:10:02.221 --> 00:10:04.498
And so I did everything was there,

00:10:04.551 --> 00:10:06.141
Alan: I mean, that's good to know as well.

00:10:06.141 --> 00:10:06.381
Right.

00:10:06.481 --> 00:10:07.681
Mario: yeah, yeah,

00:10:08.341 --> 00:10:08.661
yeah.

00:10:08.751 --> 00:10:10.971
Alan: that there is the
backup facility and there is

00:10:10.971 --> 00:10:11.361
the, you know,

00:10:11.441 --> 00:10:12.561
that, that recording is there.

00:10:12.561 --> 00:10:13.169
So but

00:10:13.169 --> 00:10:16.019
that, that hopefully, you know, it
gives him confidence that, oh, okay.

00:10:16.049 --> 00:10:19.589
Even if things do go wrong, then
that's still, you know, that works

00:10:19.589 --> 00:10:19.829
fine.

00:10:19.924 --> 00:10:20.704
Mario: exactly.

00:10:20.764 --> 00:10:25.014
So, so I was able to provide the
backups to him and you know, I

00:10:25.014 --> 00:10:29.034
apologized and I, you know, told
him I'm, I'm looking into it.

00:10:29.664 --> 00:10:34.014
And I said, hopefully that the rest
of the experience wasn't too bad.

00:10:34.014 --> 00:10:36.384
And he said, no, it was
great that we actually

00:10:36.384 --> 00:10:36.834
enjoyed it.

00:10:36.834 --> 00:10:41.634
So, so hopefully, you know, that
didn't leave a bad flavor, but

00:10:41.614 --> 00:10:46.021
Alan: Well, it's better to find it out now
with one person then later with a hundred,

00:10:46.021 --> 00:10:46.261
right.

00:10:46.436 --> 00:10:46.706
Mario: Yeah.

00:10:46.736 --> 00:10:47.516
Very true.

00:10:48.296 --> 00:10:49.016
Alan: Get to the bottom of it.

00:10:49.016 --> 00:10:50.306
Once you got staging up.

00:10:50.396 --> 00:10:52.256
I'm sure it will be one of those obvious

00:10:52.256 --> 00:10:53.996
things that it's like
a one character to fix.

00:10:53.996 --> 00:10:54.566
And you'd be like

00:10:54.896 --> 00:10:55.376
all of that.

00:10:57.091 --> 00:10:57.751
Mario: maybe.

00:10:57.751 --> 00:10:58.111
Yeah.

00:10:58.406 --> 00:10:58.736
Alan: I hope

00:10:58.736 --> 00:10:58.976
so.

00:10:59.136 --> 00:11:00.456
Mario: yeah, I hope so, too.

00:11:01.146 --> 00:11:01.356
So.

00:11:01.356 --> 00:11:05.299
after that, I I sent that email
to everyone that I have onboarded

00:11:05.329 --> 00:11:06.829
just to give them a heads up.

00:11:07.339 --> 00:11:09.079
And I'm sure you received that email.

00:11:09.084 --> 00:11:09.414
Alan: Yes.

00:11:09.564 --> 00:11:11.874
I was going to say it
might be worth clarifying.

00:11:11.874 --> 00:11:14.994
Cause my takeaway with that was
our, I can't do local recording.

00:11:15.048 --> 00:11:18.528
Rather than just say, you
know, like the, the auto

00:11:18.528 --> 00:11:20.238
recording, just to clarify the

00:11:20.238 --> 00:11:21.678
ultra recording isn't working.

00:11:22.458 --> 00:11:22.938
So

00:11:22.968 --> 00:11:23.408
yeah,

00:11:24.583 --> 00:11:24.943
Mario: I guess.

00:11:24.943 --> 00:11:26.713
Yeah, that's a good,
that's a good suggestion.

00:11:26.713 --> 00:11:31.333
I wasn't sure how to handle that
because that's a new feature

00:11:31.333 --> 00:11:33.403
that people didn't know about.

00:11:33.403 --> 00:11:37.093
And so I didn't want to convolute
the message with, you know, there's

00:11:37.093 --> 00:11:38.773
new features and this and that.

00:11:39.193 --> 00:11:44.482
So I just wanted to keep it kind of
straight, but cause I was looking forward

00:11:44.482 --> 00:11:48.802
to sending this email with an update of
all the features that I've been working.

00:11:48.802 --> 00:11:52.282
on and all the changes that I've
put in based on the feedback that I

00:11:52.282 --> 00:11:54.712
received and then this thing happened.

00:11:54.712 --> 00:11:57.832
And So now I have to deal
with this and I, I feel like

00:11:57.832 --> 00:12:03.442
I can't send an update about new
features when this thing is not

00:12:03.442 --> 00:12:03.892
working

00:12:03.977 --> 00:12:06.557
Alan: Fundamental basic is
kind of having an issue, right?

00:12:06.557 --> 00:12:06.937
Yeah, yeah,

00:12:06.972 --> 00:12:07.542
Mario: Yeah.

00:12:07.542 --> 00:12:09.758
so it's like, kind of frustrating, but.

00:12:10.363 --> 00:12:10.603
Alan: Yeah.

00:12:10.603 --> 00:12:11.803
I it's strange that you said it

00:12:11.803 --> 00:12:12.493
works locally.

00:12:12.493 --> 00:12:13.663
I mean, is it possible

00:12:13.663 --> 00:12:15.463
it's some just permission issue because

00:12:15.463 --> 00:12:17.173
it's accessing camera and microphones.

00:12:17.173 --> 00:12:19.693
So if it may be trying to do

00:12:19.693 --> 00:12:23.323
that, programmatically is
just, you know, causing some,

00:12:23.853 --> 00:12:24.993
Mario: It could be.

00:12:25.363 --> 00:12:25.963
Alan: permission issue.

00:12:25.993 --> 00:12:29.448
It sounds like it's me, if it's it's one
thing that would probably be my first

00:12:29.448 --> 00:12:30.738
thing I look to is just the fact that

00:12:30.738 --> 00:12:33.822
it's it, it is a permissions,
you know, like the fact that the

00:12:33.822 --> 00:12:38.052
browser is triggering the camera
without a user interaction.

00:12:38.052 --> 00:12:38.322
Right.

00:12:38.352 --> 00:12:41.736
So programmatically triggering
the camera or microphone could

00:12:41.736 --> 00:12:42.936
be something to do with that.

00:12:43.136 --> 00:12:47.040
That that's, that would just be my, I I've
never used this stuff, so I'd have no no

00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:48.900
idea, but that would be the, the thing

00:12:48.900 --> 00:12:52.530
which would make me think there's an
issue, especially since it works locally.

00:12:53.250 --> 00:12:57.330
Mario: yeah, yeah, That was
the only thing is by, by then.

00:12:57.330 --> 00:12:59.580
Camera's already given permission.

00:12:59.572 --> 00:13:03.187
Microphone is already, you
know, it's already going and

00:13:03.312 --> 00:13:03.612
Alan: going

00:13:03.612 --> 00:13:03.912
great.

00:13:03.912 --> 00:13:04.332
But yeah.

00:13:04.332 --> 00:13:07.092
I'm wondering if there's some way,
you know, it's cause it obviously

00:13:07.092 --> 00:13:08.712
starts capturing it, so I don't know.

00:13:08.892 --> 00:13:09.192
yeah,

00:13:09.282 --> 00:13:09.522
I,

00:13:10.097 --> 00:13:10.427
Mario: Yeah.

00:13:10.457 --> 00:13:10.937
I don't know.

00:13:11.447 --> 00:13:13.637
It's a, it's an interesting one.

00:13:13.937 --> 00:13:14.500
And I,

00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:19.450
hope it's not something that simple
because man, that's gonna suck

00:13:20.300 --> 00:13:20.740
if it's

00:13:21.300 --> 00:13:24.985
something super simple that I
missed and I've been breaking my

00:13:24.985 --> 00:13:26.635
head, you know, this whole time.

00:13:27.270 --> 00:13:29.370
Alan: But you you've, you've
got staging up and running now

00:13:29.370 --> 00:13:29.760
or it's

00:13:29.785 --> 00:13:30.955
Mario: almost, almost

00:13:30.955 --> 00:13:33.994
yeah, I I just need to finish a few,

00:13:34.774 --> 00:13:38.304
a few areas here and there,
but yeah, I w I almost.

00:13:38.304 --> 00:13:39.294
have it all up and running

00:13:39.629 --> 00:13:39.929
Alan: Cool.

00:13:40.554 --> 00:13:45.174
Mario: and then I have to do the
DNS updates so that I get my staging

00:13:45.174 --> 00:13:46.014
domain going.

00:13:46.604 --> 00:13:46.754
Alan: Yeah.

00:13:47.494 --> 00:13:48.094
Oh, well, good luck.

00:13:48.094 --> 00:13:53.824
That sounds like a nightmare run
stressful, especially since you have

00:13:53.824 --> 00:13:55.294
people trying to use it now is like,

00:13:55.354 --> 00:13:55.984
The pressures on

00:13:55.984 --> 00:13:56.254
now, right?.

00:13:56.274 --> 00:13:56.934
Mario: yeah,

00:13:57.064 --> 00:13:59.074
Alan: Feel like you're against
the clock, but it's good practice.

00:13:59.274 --> 00:13:59.664
Mario: Yeah.

00:13:59.724 --> 00:14:00.054
Yeah.

00:14:00.084 --> 00:14:00.354
Good.

00:14:00.384 --> 00:14:01.314
Yeah, for sure.

00:14:03.064 --> 00:14:04.144
Alan: It is not optimum.

00:14:04.584 --> 00:14:05.184
Mario: Yeah.

00:14:05.274 --> 00:14:09.174
So needless to say, I haven't
really had time to, to put

00:14:09.174 --> 00:14:11.274
together our podcast episode

00:14:11.954 --> 00:14:12.294
Alan: yeah.

00:14:12.444 --> 00:14:13.314
Mario: is so,

00:14:13.744 --> 00:14:14.524
Alan: There's priorities.

00:14:14.524 --> 00:14:15.214
Get this working

00:14:15.214 --> 00:14:15.544
first

00:14:15.594 --> 00:14:16.194
Mario: yeah.

00:14:16.194 --> 00:14:17.184
So I apologize.

00:14:17.184 --> 00:14:21.594
I really want to Get that going,
but I have to focus on this for now,

00:14:21.784 --> 00:14:22.084
Alan: Yeah.

00:14:22.254 --> 00:14:23.155
Mario: but Yeah.

00:14:23.905 --> 00:14:25.015
but we'll, we'll get there.

00:14:25.225 --> 00:14:25.855
We'll get there.

00:14:27.745 --> 00:14:33.231
I can't wait to be in a position where we
can outsource editing to somebody else.

00:14:33.231 --> 00:14:36.591
And so that way we just record
and we don't have to worry about

00:14:36.741 --> 00:14:37.521
Alan: happens right.

00:14:37.791 --> 00:14:41.901
Mario: it just magically appears
on the, on the pod catcher.

00:14:42.586 --> 00:14:43.486
Alan: That'd be the best, doesn't it?

00:14:43.486 --> 00:14:43.696
Yeah.

00:14:43.696 --> 00:14:46.396
It's like, especially if, I mean,
that's the nice thing, because you have

00:14:46.426 --> 00:14:49.126
a possibility somebody else going
in and grabbing the fires, you

00:14:49.126 --> 00:14:50.386
literally don't have to do anything.

00:14:50.386 --> 00:14:50.806
You'd just be

00:14:50.806 --> 00:14:53.626
like, tell them, it's
just record it finish.

00:14:54.166 --> 00:14:54.586
And it just

00:14:54.586 --> 00:14:55.126
appears, right.

00:14:55.336 --> 00:14:55.946
That'd be the, the

00:14:56.026 --> 00:14:56.446
ultimate.

00:14:56.521 --> 00:14:56.881
Mario: Yeah.

00:14:57.061 --> 00:14:57.481
Yeah.

00:14:58.216 --> 00:14:58.516
Alan: Nice.

00:14:58.531 --> 00:15:00.031
Mario: That's, that's where I'm working.

00:15:00.061 --> 00:15:01.081
I'm working towards that.

00:15:02.506 --> 00:15:03.076
Alan: that's a goal.

00:15:03.136 --> 00:15:04.186
You got to have a good goal, right?

00:15:04.531 --> 00:15:04.801
Mario: Yeah.

00:15:05.131 --> 00:15:05.521
Yeah.

00:15:05.821 --> 00:15:06.541
So let's see.

00:15:06.541 --> 00:15:08.398
What else what else did I have to update?

00:15:08.437 --> 00:15:11.382
I had I contacted
somebody else to onboard.

00:15:11.487 --> 00:15:15.605
And I just noticed today
they scheduled a date.

00:15:15.695 --> 00:15:21.155
I think it's next week or so I
have to double check, but I have

00:15:21.335 --> 00:15:23.495
another one lined up to do a demo.

00:15:23.549 --> 00:15:27.959
Someone from MicroConf that I, came
across on the community there and, I'm

00:15:27.959 --> 00:15:30.889
going to be doing that demo and then
somebody else also from MicroConf.

00:15:30.907 --> 00:15:32.947
That I had all already on my list.

00:15:32.991 --> 00:15:34.746
Contacted me about it.

00:15:34.776 --> 00:15:37.347
And I was like, oh yeah,
I have You on my list.

00:15:37.347 --> 00:15:42.122
So, I just sent out my Calendly
to this other person and hopefully

00:15:42.122 --> 00:15:45.962
we'll get something scheduled and
do another demo there as well.

00:15:46.030 --> 00:15:47.620
It's, let's see what else?

00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:53.676
We have yeah, like I mentioned earlier,
most of the changes based on feedback

00:15:53.676 --> 00:15:56.226
that I received are already in,

00:15:56.206 --> 00:15:56.525
Except

00:15:56.695 --> 00:15:58.465
Alan: the UI is starting
to look very tight.

00:15:58.465 --> 00:16:00.175
It is, let's start into it.

00:16:00.265 --> 00:16:02.695
As I said before, it's, it's
amazing how it looks like.

00:16:02.725 --> 00:16:03.625
Oh, everything's fine.

00:16:03.655 --> 00:16:05.005
And then you do some improvements.

00:16:05.015 --> 00:16:05.485
There's that?

00:16:05.545 --> 00:16:06.115
Now it looks better.

00:16:06.295 --> 00:16:08.575
I didn't know it was a problem
before, but it looks, it feels better.

00:16:08.845 --> 00:16:12.107
So yeah, I noticed you got
your like ellipses thing

00:16:12.107 --> 00:16:13.157
in and Yeah.

00:16:13.157 --> 00:16:15.917
they got these, these status icons
and things, and it's looking nice.

00:16:16.257 --> 00:16:16.707
Mario: Yeah.

00:16:16.767 --> 00:16:17.487
yeah, it's getting there.

00:16:17.487 --> 00:16:17.967
Thank you.

00:16:18.567 --> 00:16:18.987
Thanks.

00:16:19.057 --> 00:16:22.537
Oh, notice I implemented
the HashIDs library.

00:16:23.037 --> 00:16:24.897
Alan: I noticed that I was
going to ask about that.

00:16:24.897 --> 00:16:26.757
So that's, that's kind of fun, isn't it?

00:16:26.757 --> 00:16:27.747
That it's it's handy.

00:16:27.747 --> 00:16:28.017
Think

00:16:28.147 --> 00:16:28.867
Mario: yeah, yeah,

00:16:29.007 --> 00:16:31.167
Alan: Just to be able to
throw stuff in and then you

00:16:31.167 --> 00:16:32.097
just decode it?

00:16:32.097 --> 00:16:32.457
and it's done.

00:16:32.947 --> 00:16:33.727
Mario: yeah, yeah.

00:16:33.727 --> 00:16:34.297
It was cool.

00:16:34.311 --> 00:16:39.347
I like it I like the short little
hash and I like how it looks now.

00:16:39.347 --> 00:16:40.877
it's a little more,

00:16:41.717 --> 00:16:44.687
I dunno, more professional,
so to speak, you know?

00:16:46.227 --> 00:16:47.787
Alan: I mean, it's the
same with mine, you know?

00:16:47.787 --> 00:16:49.967
Cause especially if you're
looking at like a, you know,

00:16:49.967 --> 00:16:53.877
a check-in and it's in a profile or some
type of uses, you know, a particular

00:16:53.877 --> 00:16:56.127
user's check-in so rather than having,

00:16:56.217 --> 00:16:59.847
you know, slash seven slash 13,
it's like something, can you like,

00:16:59.877 --> 00:17:00.087
oh,

00:17:00.257 --> 00:17:00.647
Mario: Yeah.

00:17:01.537 --> 00:17:03.477
Alan: Must be it must be secure that.

00:17:04.397 --> 00:17:04.787
Mario: Yeah.

00:17:05.507 --> 00:17:05.957
Yeah.

00:17:06.227 --> 00:17:08.807
And, and I didn't do it for all of it.

00:17:08.837 --> 00:17:11.147
All of the, all of the app just yet.

00:17:11.238 --> 00:17:13.428
Because I have a lot of IDs

00:17:13.428 --> 00:17:13.998
everywhere.

00:17:14.115 --> 00:17:18.225
And so I figured this is
the most public facing URL.

00:17:18.255 --> 00:17:18.585
Right.

00:17:18.885 --> 00:17:19.485
And so I just

00:17:19.630 --> 00:17:20.620
Alan: I had to think the same.

00:17:20.620 --> 00:17:23.410
Yeah, it was, it was what's what's
the most likely thing that's

00:17:23.410 --> 00:17:26.432
going to be cut and paste is,
is really the thing, which yeah.

00:17:26.792 --> 00:17:30.992
Made me decide what to watch
twin code like that is, and

00:17:31.082 --> 00:17:32.702
there's a possibility for mine.

00:17:32.702 --> 00:17:36.332
It would be a reference to a
particular check-in or particular user.

00:17:36.332 --> 00:17:38.552
So those are the things
that I did first and then

00:17:38.942 --> 00:17:42.692
just other things as, as I come across
them, I might might change them, but

00:17:43.017 --> 00:17:43.317
Mario: Okay.

00:17:43.317 --> 00:17:46.227
So you didn't, you didn't
implement it across the board?

00:17:46.557 --> 00:17:46.887
Yeah.

00:17:47.037 --> 00:17:47.487
Just yet.

00:17:49.262 --> 00:17:50.522
Alan: I think there's a few places where

00:17:50.522 --> 00:17:51.242
it's not using it.

00:17:51.242 --> 00:17:51.482
Yeah.

00:17:51.572 --> 00:17:52.402
I, I didn't

00:17:52.906 --> 00:17:54.866
that, wasn't how I intended to do it.

00:17:54.906 --> 00:17:57.056
That it wasn't how I implemented it.

00:17:57.056 --> 00:17:59.006
It was like, okay, where
do I want it implemented?

00:17:59.006 --> 00:18:00.326
And just pick out particular ones.

00:18:00.326 --> 00:18:03.176
And then it's like, well, if I come
across one, I'm working on something.

00:18:03.176 --> 00:18:03.536
I think.

00:18:04.571 --> 00:18:05.921
Change that while I'm here.

00:18:05.951 --> 00:18:10.241
And so, as I said, it's not a
priority for every single page.

00:18:10.241 --> 00:18:13.601
It's just certain things which
are likely to be cut and paste,

00:18:13.601 --> 00:18:18.851
or is an obvious reference to an
internal that you really want to

00:18:18.851 --> 00:18:19.391
expose.

00:18:20.111 --> 00:18:22.721
So in particularly user ID, which is,

00:18:23.041 --> 00:18:23.641
Mario: yeah,

00:18:23.951 --> 00:18:27.101
Alan: especially at this stage, let's say
when we're talking like tens of numbers

00:18:27.101 --> 00:18:30.311
or single digits, and there's like a
little, that's funny because I had,

00:18:30.291 --> 00:18:35.651
So the original photo sharing thing that
I did back in 2002 that, that was, you

00:18:35.651 --> 00:18:39.071
know, I was still, you know, it was the
first web application I ever built was

00:18:39.071 --> 00:18:39.821
2002.

00:18:39.821 --> 00:18:42.792
It was pretty much, you know
an interface to your database.

00:18:43.082 --> 00:18:43.412
Mario: yeah.

00:18:44.262 --> 00:18:48.920
Alan: And so of course IDs were just
exposed as numbers and it became a kind of

00:18:48.994 --> 00:18:52.234
Like a badge of pride for people as
well, because they were like a, you

00:18:52.234 --> 00:18:57.483
know, I'm not number 100, are those
one that was you know, seven and they,

00:18:57.613 --> 00:19:02.033
they, they incorporated seven into
their profile image and stuff like that.

00:19:02.033 --> 00:19:06.631
So it's kind of, it became a bit of
a badge that that ID number, to be

00:19:06.631 --> 00:19:10.711
honest, even with like Twitter, because
I'm number 5,000 or something ID in

00:19:10.711 --> 00:19:14.957
Twitter before they implemented these
crazy long digits that that don't

00:19:14.957 --> 00:19:18.947
really mean so much originally they
just had, you know, incremental ideas.

00:19:18.977 --> 00:19:20.087
So, yeah,

00:19:20.087 --> 00:19:22.727
it's, it's a little bit
of a, a badge of pride.

00:19:22.727 --> 00:19:23.657
It's like, I was,

00:19:24.397 --> 00:19:24.657
Mario: Yeah.

00:19:24.877 --> 00:19:26.737
You were early, early adopter.

00:19:27.517 --> 00:19:27.637
Alan: yeah,

00:19:27.637 --> 00:19:30.414
I didn't get it at first, but
yeah, I, I was like, okay,

00:19:30.414 --> 00:19:31.404
this has gotta be interested.

00:19:31.444 --> 00:19:31.644
And then

00:19:34.344 --> 00:19:34.974
I came around,

00:19:35.513 --> 00:19:35.843
Mario: Yeah.

00:19:36.848 --> 00:19:37.328
Alan: so, yeah.

00:19:37.388 --> 00:19:38.918
So I've had an interesting week as well.

00:19:38.995 --> 00:19:39.865
As you may have noticed.

00:19:40.730 --> 00:19:41.450
Mario: Yeah,

00:19:42.140 --> 00:19:47.990
Alan: Not quite as hectic as yours, but
interesting, nonetheless, so yeah, I sent

00:19:47.990 --> 00:19:54.200
out a bunch of invitations, so I was
quite the, the reasoning or the choice

00:19:54.290 --> 00:19:59.626
of first invitations to send out
was people who I knew would be picky

00:19:59.626 --> 00:20:02.206
about or spot things that I've missed.

00:20:02.536 --> 00:20:06.688
So rather than go for someone who's
like the, the perfect user, it

00:20:06.688 --> 00:20:09.898
was like, okay, let's, let's get
these all these niggles ironed out.

00:20:09.928 --> 00:20:14.008
And so choose, you know, five people who
I know are going to be like, that's wrong.

00:20:14.038 --> 00:20:14.728
That looks weird.

00:20:14.728 --> 00:20:14.908
This

00:20:15.828 --> 00:20:16.128
Mario: yeah,

00:20:16.438 --> 00:20:19.798
Alan: pick all the things, which I know
I'm blind to now, it's you, you know,

00:20:19.798 --> 00:20:23.158
yourself, you're looking at something
and someone says, that's the wrong color.

00:20:23.158 --> 00:20:24.268
And you're like, oh yeah, because of this.

00:20:24.668 --> 00:20:25.178
Mario: yeah.

00:20:25.207 --> 00:20:27.877
Alan: So yeah, I was kind
of selective with those.

00:20:27.935 --> 00:20:32.525
And it was perfect for that because all
of the feedback I got was interesting.

00:20:33.575 --> 00:20:37.655
Unique and not, not really anything
overlapping, so different people

00:20:37.655 --> 00:20:44.255
saw different things and all of them
were either immediately actionable or

00:20:44.585 --> 00:20:47.405
things, which are like, okay, that's,
that's a really interesting thing

00:20:47.405 --> 00:20:49.415
to consider for the next release.

00:20:49.464 --> 00:20:54.204
So yeah, almost all of them I've
been able to incorporate already.

00:20:54.207 --> 00:20:56.639
Some of them, you know as you know,
some of them are like five minutes

00:20:56.729 --> 00:20:59.879
that it's feels great just to have
now have a list of a to-do list

00:20:59.879 --> 00:21:01.109
to just be able to check through.

00:21:01.201 --> 00:21:04.198
And there was very few which I
disagreed with which was nice as well.

00:21:04.198 --> 00:21:08.518
All of the points were things
that it's funny, some of them.

00:21:09.808 --> 00:21:14.792
So one of the things when you're
editing, if you've added items and

00:21:14.792 --> 00:21:22.172
you're editing them, clicking away,
used to leave the form field open

00:21:22.172 --> 00:21:24.533
because when I first added that.

00:21:25.388 --> 00:21:30.908
I couldn't get the blur, the input
blur thing, working properly with life

00:21:30.908 --> 00:21:35.678
view, as I wanted it to, it was kind of
half working, but it never felt right.

00:21:35.757 --> 00:21:40.587
So therefore I was like, okay, it feels
less weird to leave it than it does to

00:21:40.587 --> 00:21:44.157
have this weird state state where it
doesn't always do what I wanted it to.

00:21:44.172 --> 00:21:44.407
Which.

00:21:45.307 --> 00:21:48.280
And so someone's feedback was okay.

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:52.600
The blur feels weird and I'm
like, yeah, I know it is.

00:21:53.320 --> 00:21:56.740
I know when I did this, it's
just like, oh yeah, I know.

00:21:56.740 --> 00:21:58.732
And I really let, let me have a look.

00:21:59.122 --> 00:22:02.362
And it literally took one
minute to, to make it work.

00:22:02.602 --> 00:22:05.272
As I talk about, you know, leaving
something and coming back to it,

00:22:05.872 --> 00:22:08.212
looking at it fresh, because I
haven't looked at this, you know,

00:22:08.212 --> 00:22:11.332
for probably a few months or months,
definitely three or four months.

00:22:11.692 --> 00:22:14.572
And so I was like, ah,
this will make it work.

00:22:14.632 --> 00:22:18.232
And I did it and it, it was like two
minutes and it, it worked exactly as I

00:22:18.232 --> 00:22:20.122
wanted it to, and it felt perfectly right.

00:22:20.122 --> 00:22:23.842
And I'm like, phew, I'm glad I
didn't bother wasting days trying

00:22:23.842 --> 00:22:27.022
to get it working before, because
like fixing it now is just so easy.

00:22:27.097 --> 00:22:32.457
So I don't know whether that was me
understanding Liveview better LiveView

00:22:32.527 --> 00:22:37.177
fixing something that wasn't working
before, or I'm not sure exactly

00:22:37.177 --> 00:22:39.877
what the reason I couldn't get it
to work properly before it was.

00:22:39.877 --> 00:22:44.047
I'm going to blame LiveView, you just
cause it's easier than blaming myself,

00:22:46.057 --> 00:22:48.247
but it's mostly, probably my fault.

00:22:48.263 --> 00:22:51.773
So that was really nice to be
able to just improve it in ways

00:22:51.773 --> 00:22:54.503
that I knew were not great.

00:22:54.683 --> 00:22:58.733
And somebody to point it out and then
immediately be able to improve it.

00:22:58.793 --> 00:23:01.943
And it'll add that's exactly how I wanted
it to work in the first place that thank

00:23:01.943 --> 00:23:03.893
you for reminding me to re-look at it.

00:23:03.957 --> 00:23:07.126
And yeah, even some of your
feedback was, was really helpful.

00:23:07.126 --> 00:23:10.006
Just, you know, like alignments
and the button of stuff, some of

00:23:10.006 --> 00:23:15.588
the hover states I improved it,
it feels significantly better to

00:23:15.588 --> 00:23:17.268
me now than it did two weeks ago.

00:23:17.268 --> 00:23:20.711
So and that's a direct
result of people's feedback.

00:23:20.741 --> 00:23:22.271
And I say it's, it's up in.

00:23:23.246 --> 00:23:27.709
I think there's seven invitations
have sent out five who have given

00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:32.749
good feedback, two who I think are
on, have been on Easter vacation.

00:23:32.749 --> 00:23:35.363
So I'm going to poke again and
probably under this week, give

00:23:35.363 --> 00:23:37.332
them a week to recover coming back.

00:23:37.403 --> 00:23:39.803
So it's been really helpful.

00:23:39.893 --> 00:23:41.723
So that, that has been kind of fun.

00:23:41.731 --> 00:23:46.561
So the next step now is to introduce
the people who I think could actually

00:23:46.561 --> 00:23:52.951
be the, kind of like the ideal use
cases of the specifically around teams.

00:23:53.161 --> 00:23:55.711
So all of the people I
picked right now are either,

00:23:55.697 --> 00:23:57.980
Basically using it by themselves.

00:23:58.095 --> 00:23:58.395
Mario: yeah.

00:23:58.515 --> 00:23:58.935
yeah.

00:23:59.325 --> 00:24:00.075
That's how I've been

00:24:00.075 --> 00:24:00.375
using

00:24:00.375 --> 00:24:00.585
it

00:24:01.100 --> 00:24:01.340
Alan: right.

00:24:01.785 --> 00:24:05.746
Mario: And but you know, it
surprisingly it works well.

00:24:05.746 --> 00:24:10.134
I mean, yes, it's designed for teams
and it's it's you, you know, teams

00:24:10.134 --> 00:24:15.370
could take a better advantage of
it, but but it surprisingly works.

00:24:15.730 --> 00:24:19.930
I mean, so PR surprisingly in terms
of, you know, Because your main

00:24:19.930 --> 00:24:25.660
focus is for teams, but it works
really well with, you know, with a solo

00:24:25.900 --> 00:24:26.800
Alan: Well, that's the thing.

00:24:26.800 --> 00:24:27.670
I mean, I use it

00:24:27.670 --> 00:24:28.810
myself every day, right.

00:24:28.810 --> 00:24:30.490
So this is, this is my own

00:24:30.520 --> 00:24:33.760
thing and it it's, I know
how useful it is just for me.

00:24:33.760 --> 00:24:35.740
So I, that doesn't surprise.

00:24:35.800 --> 00:24:37.900
It's surprising that other
people have picked up on it,

00:24:37.900 --> 00:24:40.240
but it doesn't surprise me that
much because it's like, yeah,

00:24:40.270 --> 00:24:41.590
I know, I know it's actually

00:24:41.590 --> 00:24:41.950
useful.

00:24:42.105 --> 00:24:42.525
Mario: Yeah.

00:24:42.670 --> 00:24:43.810
Alan: so let's, that's good to hear.

00:24:43.830 --> 00:24:46.723
But at the same, because
it's not optimized for that.

00:24:46.723 --> 00:24:48.613
There's a lot of things that could be done

00:24:48.613 --> 00:24:50.353
better if it was just for you.

00:24:50.353 --> 00:24:50.653
Right.

00:24:50.694 --> 00:24:55.621
So that is definitely something that
I'm thinking more about simply because

00:24:56.461 --> 00:25:00.991
it's easier to convince one person to
use it then to convince five, right.

00:25:01.531 --> 00:25:04.370
So, you know, someone will try
it out for themselves and then

00:25:04.370 --> 00:25:05.720
potentially invite other people.

00:25:06.835 --> 00:25:10.825
The single person use cases, something
I want to think about a little bit

00:25:10.825 --> 00:25:15.870
more in the reasonable, close future
as well, just cause I think it's

00:25:15.870 --> 00:25:20.277
actually has a lot of use I think it'd
be good to spend a bit of time on.

00:25:20.297 --> 00:25:24.667
I just haven't really given it much as
much thought as I have the team side.

00:25:24.697 --> 00:25:28.780
So so the it, it's funny because you're
not the only person that said that either.

00:25:28.780 --> 00:25:29.530
I've had a few of

00:25:29.530 --> 00:25:31.900
the people say, ah, this is
actually really useful just for me.

00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:32.140
And I'm

00:25:32.140 --> 00:25:32.830
like, ah, okay,

00:25:32.950 --> 00:25:33.370
Mario: Yeah.

00:25:33.730 --> 00:25:35.380
So I've been, I've been using it,

00:25:35.509 --> 00:25:36.439
You know, here and there.

00:25:37.369 --> 00:25:41.659
I want to get more into it and use it
even more, but I have, I have been using

00:25:41.659 --> 00:25:45.759
it occasionally just to, you know, get
a feel for it and and give you feedback.

00:25:45.789 --> 00:25:47.103
But I like it a lot.

00:25:47.103 --> 00:25:50.943
I like the, the, the interface is playful.

00:25:50.943 --> 00:25:54.678
It's you know, pretty modern
and, and it just feels good.

00:25:55.268 --> 00:25:56.778
I like what you've done with that.

00:25:56.882 --> 00:25:57.452
Yeah.

00:25:57.482 --> 00:25:57.992
Yeah.

00:25:58.322 --> 00:26:03.272
Sometimes I, I, I think some interfaces.

00:26:03.982 --> 00:26:10.282
Tend to be kind of rigid, you know,
or utilitarian, you know, even, even

00:26:10.282 --> 00:26:15.749
Fusioncast, you know, sometimes I question
some of my choices and just the structure,

00:26:15.749 --> 00:26:21.113
you know, cause I made it very structured
and, you know just to try to give it give

00:26:21.113 --> 00:26:23.811
it a sense of order I guess, or, you know,

00:26:23.811 --> 00:26:26.391
But I like how you accomplish that.

00:26:26.421 --> 00:26:28.031
I mean, it looks, it makes sense.

00:26:28.031 --> 00:26:29.051
It looks intuitive.

00:26:29.531 --> 00:26:32.470
And at the same time it's playful.

00:26:32.470 --> 00:26:35.481
And, and I guess what I mean by
playful is just that it it's you

00:26:35.481 --> 00:26:41.031
know, it, it, it doesn't have this
utilitarian feel to it where, you

00:26:41.031 --> 00:26:45.859
know, everything is rows and columns,
you know, it's, you know what I mean?

00:26:46.204 --> 00:26:46.534
Alan: Yes.

00:26:46.639 --> 00:26:47.269
Mario: Yeah, It

00:26:47.464 --> 00:26:48.334
Alan: it does.

00:26:48.544 --> 00:26:51.304
It's funny because somebody
else gave me the feedback.

00:26:51.334 --> 00:26:51.484
Yeah.

00:26:51.494 --> 00:26:54.604
It feels in one way, kind of
old school web, even though it's

00:26:54.604 --> 00:26:56.374
using modern technologies

00:26:56.434 --> 00:27:02.314
and it feels a little bit more retro
in the way that it isn't regimented.

00:27:02.314 --> 00:27:02.494
And

00:27:02.704 --> 00:27:06.514
I guess that's my personal
preferences coming out strongly,

00:27:06.669 --> 00:27:07.359
Mario: Yes.

00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:07.959
Yes.

00:27:08.154 --> 00:27:09.004
Alan: but I know that

00:27:09.004 --> 00:27:09.304
I

00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:11.289
Mario: that's a good, that's
a good way to describe it.

00:27:11.619 --> 00:27:12.099
It's like,

00:27:12.159 --> 00:27:15.279
like old school, but with a
modern touch, you know the.

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:16.509
modern UI, you know,

00:27:16.684 --> 00:27:16.954
Alan: Cool.

00:27:17.254 --> 00:27:20.384
That's really good to hear that that's
very reassuring because that's, that's

00:27:20.404 --> 00:27:24.844
something that bugs the hell of hell out
of me about the current state of the web

00:27:24.844 --> 00:27:31.701
is just, everything's becoming very, to
feels culprit, even when it's a you know,

00:27:31.711 --> 00:27:35.631
an indie project, it still feels like
things are coming from a corporation.

00:27:35.631 --> 00:27:38.961
It's like, I, you know, I want your
personality to come through too.

00:27:38.961 --> 00:27:42.411
So I tried to, and this is
something I'm trying hard with

00:27:42.411 --> 00:27:43.881
the copy and things as well.

00:27:43.881 --> 00:27:47.631
So I'm, so I've started
playing with copy.ai.

00:27:47.631 --> 00:27:48.351
Have you seen it?

00:27:48.381 --> 00:27:49.071
Have you played with

00:27:49.071 --> 00:27:49.221
it?

00:27:49.316 --> 00:27:50.386
Mario: No, No,

00:27:51.171 --> 00:27:51.561
Alan: cool.

00:27:51.561 --> 00:27:54.321
It's an indie hacker project
is two guys, I think.

00:27:54.651 --> 00:27:59.493
And it uses the GPT three machine
learning data prediction, text

00:27:59.493 --> 00:28:00.811
prediction rewriting thing.

00:28:00.823 --> 00:28:04.177
So you give it a description or some copy.

00:28:04.177 --> 00:28:05.047
You basically tell it

00:28:05.047 --> 00:28:05.317
what.

00:28:06.887 --> 00:28:10.787
What you want or what you want
to say, and it will rephrase

00:28:10.787 --> 00:28:13.097
it in multiple different ways.

00:28:13.307 --> 00:28:18.767
So for instance, you can use it for
say a landing page, like hero texts.

00:28:18.788 --> 00:28:21.655
You, you describe your project
and it gives you like 10 different

00:28:21.655 --> 00:28:25.885
examples of copy that you could
use as hero, text for your project.

00:28:25.975 --> 00:28:32.815
And it's not using it too directly, but
as a way of like unblocking your mind.

00:28:32.815 --> 00:28:35.815
Cause you know, when you think about
something, you get stuck in a rot, right?

00:28:36.205 --> 00:28:40.465
So even just like the copy
on my homepage, where you.

00:28:41.140 --> 00:28:43.690
As in, after you've logged in, there's
kind of a dashboard page that shows

00:28:43.690 --> 00:28:44.800
you, other people have logged in.

00:28:45.190 --> 00:28:49.058
So the text says like, you know, good
morning you know, other people have done

00:28:49.058 --> 00:28:50.528
things, you know, have you finished this?

00:28:50.678 --> 00:28:53.528
So I write it as how I'd
want to say it first.

00:28:53.858 --> 00:28:56.498
And then once you've done that,
you kind of get stuck in that you

00:28:56.498 --> 00:28:57.938
can't see other ways of writing it.

00:28:57.938 --> 00:28:58.178
Right.

00:28:58.388 --> 00:28:59.888
So you throw it in copy AI.

00:29:00.338 --> 00:29:02.048
And it says, how about these?

00:29:02.078 --> 00:29:04.928
And you're like, Okay, that
wasn't thinking of that, but that

00:29:05.198 --> 00:29:08.798
some part of that wording would
sounds better than my wording.

00:29:09.038 --> 00:29:13.269
So, so it kind of just a way of
getting your brain out of that groove

00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:14.769
and just trying different things.

00:29:14.949 --> 00:29:16.209
So I highly recommend it.

00:29:16.239 --> 00:29:19.359
It's a, it, then there's a seven
day free, completely free trial.

00:29:19.389 --> 00:29:23.949
And then it's like $30 a month and
it's, so it's got a thing for like

00:29:23.961 --> 00:29:26.069
email subject that are catchy.

00:29:26.069 --> 00:29:28.799
So again, you say what your
email is, and it says, how

00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:30.389
about these as email subjects?

00:29:30.419 --> 00:29:34.079
And you're like that one,
that's the tone that I want.

00:29:34.143 --> 00:29:35.833
It's got to think for like blog ideas.

00:29:35.833 --> 00:29:38.743
So you tell it what your blogs
about, and it says, how about these?

00:29:39.073 --> 00:29:40.393
And they're all AI generated.

00:29:40.393 --> 00:29:45.313
So they kind of coming from a,
a reasonably sensible place, but

00:29:45.463 --> 00:29:49.843
some of them are way out, but the
general mix is quite quite fun.

00:29:49.843 --> 00:29:52.873
So that's really helping me improve my.

00:29:53.743 --> 00:29:57.733
Simply because it's making
me try different things

00:29:57.733 --> 00:29:59.683
that I wouldn't necessarily

00:29:59.773 --> 00:30:00.613
come up with myself.

00:30:00.643 --> 00:30:00.973
So

00:30:01.178 --> 00:30:01.988
Mario: nice.

00:30:02.378 --> 00:30:02.738
What,

00:30:02.773 --> 00:30:05.133
Alan: playing with.ai.

00:30:05.893 --> 00:30:08.093
Mario: dot AI.

00:30:09.113 --> 00:30:11.498
How did you find out about this one.

00:30:12.323 --> 00:30:13.933
Alan: I don't know it, I, I,

00:30:13.953 --> 00:30:14.393
Twitter

00:30:15.413 --> 00:30:17.423
pretty much everything I
know comes from Twitter these

00:30:17.423 --> 00:30:17.693
days.

00:30:17.808 --> 00:30:18.168
Mario: right?

00:30:18.168 --> 00:30:18.438
Yeah.

00:30:18.953 --> 00:30:20.693
Alan: So the two founders are on Twitter.

00:30:20.693 --> 00:30:22.613
They're there, they're
doing a building in public.

00:30:22.613 --> 00:30:22.973
I think

00:30:23.233 --> 00:30:25.343
that their revenue is

00:30:25.343 --> 00:30:27.323
starting to go significantly.

00:30:27.323 --> 00:30:32.753
They were like I mean that tens of
thousands, I think a month, but they, they

00:30:32.753 --> 00:30:35.783
give updates on their MRR, MRR regularly.

00:30:35.783 --> 00:30:38.483
So they seem to be onto
something quite good.

00:30:38.513 --> 00:30:40.613
And it is a really simple web app.

00:30:40.613 --> 00:30:44.750
It's just an interface to TP
T3, but with specific contexts.

00:30:44.780 --> 00:30:49.090
So you say, you know, I
want this type of thing.

00:30:49.090 --> 00:30:50.980
It just like sentence
rewriting, things like that.

00:30:50.980 --> 00:30:55.150
So it's well worth playing with,
if you want landing page copy

00:30:55.150 --> 00:30:56.500
or email copy, things like that.

00:30:56.500 --> 00:31:00.520
Just you like your landing
page is already pretty good as

00:31:00.520 --> 00:31:02.980
well, but it could be a way of

00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:05.650
just trying to get different ideas.

00:31:05.850 --> 00:31:06.420
Mario: Yeah.

00:31:06.540 --> 00:31:07.680
Yeah, totally.

00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:07.830
Yeah.

00:31:07.830 --> 00:31:09.470
I'm looking at their website site.

00:31:09.470 --> 00:31:10.590
Site looks cool too.

00:31:11.670 --> 00:31:11.970
Alan: Cool.

00:31:12.390 --> 00:31:12.780
Mario: Yeah.

00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:13.410
Alan: Yeah.

00:31:13.410 --> 00:31:15.088
So that's that that's really good to hear.

00:31:15.112 --> 00:31:20.505
I'm very happy to hear that that it's
it feels like it's, you know, there's a

00:31:20.505 --> 00:31:25.545
million things that I really wanted to
do, and I've been desperate to just not

00:31:26.025 --> 00:31:28.275
get too bogged down in doing everything.

00:31:28.275 --> 00:31:33.524
So hopefully this the functionality
provides right now has a use and it is

00:31:33.524 --> 00:31:35.474
useful and now a consult to build on

00:31:35.474 --> 00:31:35.894
top of that.

00:31:35.894 --> 00:31:36.254
So,

00:31:36.346 --> 00:31:37.846
That's, that's the hope.

00:31:38.476 --> 00:31:38.926
Mario: Yeah.

00:31:38.986 --> 00:31:40.936
Yeah, It's looking good.

00:31:40.936 --> 00:31:41.836
It's looking really good.

00:31:41.886 --> 00:31:42.816
I like using it.

00:31:43.026 --> 00:31:44.346
I'm going to be using it more.

00:31:44.426 --> 00:31:49.526
I started using it for Fusioncast
related tasks, So, to speak.

00:31:49.648 --> 00:31:54.160
And so As I, as I get more into
it, I'll give you more feedback,

00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:55.480
you know, whatever I come across.

00:31:55.543 --> 00:31:56.362
But Yeah.

00:31:56.362 --> 00:31:57.562
it's, it's looking really good.

00:31:57.562 --> 00:31:58.132
I like it.

00:31:58.837 --> 00:31:59.047
Alan: Good.

00:31:59.047 --> 00:31:59.377
Thank you.

00:31:59.647 --> 00:32:03.727
So I think that the thing which
I find it's helpful with, so I,

00:32:03.817 --> 00:32:06.397
especially on a solo project, you.

00:32:06.397 --> 00:32:11.626
know using like an issue tracker just
feels like completely way too heavy.

00:32:11.657 --> 00:32:15.617
Even though, you know, it might
probably be a good idea it's

00:32:15.947 --> 00:32:17.927
right now, it just feels too much.

00:32:17.927 --> 00:32:19.187
But at the same time, having a.

00:32:20.067 --> 00:32:23.397
I kind of a notepad of like, yeah,
these are the things I need to do.

00:32:23.697 --> 00:32:27.357
This is the thing I need to
do next and I've done it.

00:32:27.537 --> 00:32:32.230
So having that kind of way of
organizing it and recording it, it

00:32:32.230 --> 00:32:34.507
just seems it works well for, for me.

00:32:34.511 --> 00:32:36.670
Hopefully others find the same thing too.

00:32:36.670 --> 00:32:41.170
So just having that, having that list of,
yeah, I need to think about those things.

00:32:41.170 --> 00:32:43.630
Moving that to, this is my thing.

00:32:43.660 --> 00:32:45.460
These are the three things
I'm going to do next.

00:32:45.532 --> 00:32:51.212
I mean, I've even almost, there's lots
of things that I thought about trying

00:32:51.212 --> 00:32:57.392
to like codify and recommend, but I
kind of want people to figure those

00:32:57.392 --> 00:32:59.912
things out for themselves as well,
figure out what works best for them.

00:32:59.912 --> 00:33:02.282
So I'm trying not to be too
heavy handed with like, you

00:33:02.282 --> 00:33:03.452
know, what is your main thing?

00:33:04.082 --> 00:33:04.862
Choose three things.

00:33:04.862 --> 00:33:06.362
And it's like, ah, they're adults.

00:33:06.392 --> 00:33:07.142
They can figure it out.

00:33:07.142 --> 00:33:07.382
Right.

00:33:07.617 --> 00:33:08.007
Mario: Yeah.

00:33:08.037 --> 00:33:08.577
Yeah,

00:33:08.637 --> 00:33:09.597
no, I'm glad.

00:33:09.597 --> 00:33:11.487
I'm glad you're going in that direction.

00:33:11.487 --> 00:33:12.507
It's a little more,

00:33:12.553 --> 00:33:19.036
It just gives freedom to people to
use it the best way it fits for them.

00:33:19.036 --> 00:33:19.156
You

00:33:19.216 --> 00:33:22.786
Alan: mean, so, yeah, I mean, one of the
things that's, I, again, I guess this

00:33:22.786 --> 00:33:28.036
is a product, a byproduct of me being
a, an old school web user and fan of

00:33:28.096 --> 00:33:33.835
like my favorite web apps that I've I've
I still feel I learnt a lot from under

00:33:33.895 --> 00:33:35.845
my kind of favorite types of web apps.

00:33:35.845 --> 00:33:39.445
I think it's like the original
delicious before it became something

00:33:39.565 --> 00:33:44.325
that the original flicker when, and
all of them are still, they have

00:33:44.325 --> 00:33:47.655
this aspect of like human hacking.

00:33:47.655 --> 00:33:51.645
So they give you a re loads of features
and they say, you figure it out.

00:33:51.645 --> 00:33:58.155
So communities naturally form
around like flicker tags or, you

00:33:58.155 --> 00:33:59.415
know, like albums and things.

00:33:59.426 --> 00:34:02.366
And same with delicious, you know,
people come up with different ways

00:34:02.366 --> 00:34:05.765
of using it that weren't necessarily
on their original roadmap or, you

00:34:05.765 --> 00:34:07.145
know, it wasn't the original design.

00:34:07.145 --> 00:34:07.355
They.

00:34:07.381 --> 00:34:08.535
Created by the users.

00:34:08.535 --> 00:34:13.725
I mean, like Twitter's hashtags and at the
same rate, they weren't originally part of

00:34:13.725 --> 00:34:19.245
the original design, but they came out of
people finding ways to use it that weren't

00:34:19.245 --> 00:34:21.645
necessarily conceived by the original app.

00:34:21.637 --> 00:34:26.036
So my hope is to create something
that, that has a similar kind of ethos,

00:34:26.036 --> 00:34:30.266
something that is, here's a bunch of tools
you figure out the best way of using them.

00:34:30.286 --> 00:34:30.676
Mario: Yeah.

00:34:31.106 --> 00:34:34.916
Alan: And then as things as people
use it, then you see patterns

00:34:34.946 --> 00:34:38.906
then maybe make those, you
know, more first older features.

00:34:38.906 --> 00:34:43.215
But yeah, I don't want to force those
down people's throats, which again

00:34:43.425 --> 00:34:47.325
is certain, you know, newer apps tend
to be like, this is how you use it.

00:34:47.325 --> 00:34:47.715
And you're like,

00:34:48.825 --> 00:34:49.665
don't feel like it.

00:34:50.005 --> 00:34:51.075
Mario: yeah, yeah,

00:34:52.305 --> 00:34:52.665
Alan: that's

00:34:52.665 --> 00:34:53.385
just really good to know.

00:34:53.445 --> 00:34:54.742
I I'm I

00:34:54.742 --> 00:34:56.172
appreciate the comment

00:34:56.172 --> 00:34:58.332
that I hope that's come through.

00:34:59.162 --> 00:34:59.702
Mario: Yeah.

00:34:59.712 --> 00:35:00.272
Yeah.

00:35:01.122 --> 00:35:06.507
Alan: it's been nice also
to see no bugs as in no,

00:35:06.536 --> 00:35:08.930
Sentry things appear on
my email, which is nice.

00:35:09.695 --> 00:35:10.175
Mario: Yeah.

00:35:10.550 --> 00:35:12.920
Alan: That's, that's one of the
best things is like, oh, it seems

00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:13.790
to be working for everybody.

00:35:14.655 --> 00:35:14.925
Mario: Yeah.

00:35:14.925 --> 00:35:19.785
So far everything that I've, you know, the
things that I shared with you have been

00:35:19.785 --> 00:35:22.677
just really cosmetic and, you know kind of

00:35:23.517 --> 00:35:25.017
superficial you know, like,

00:35:25.006 --> 00:35:26.086
Not, not any errors.

00:35:26.086 --> 00:35:27.676
I haven't come across any errors.

00:35:27.812 --> 00:35:28.262
Alan: I'm curious.

00:35:28.262 --> 00:35:30.784
Cause you're, you're in
you're in us west, right?

00:35:30.904 --> 00:35:33.409
So this is obviously how
it's done AWS US west.

00:35:33.409 --> 00:35:35.929
So I guess that's Oregon
is that I'm not sure.

00:35:36.234 --> 00:35:36.614
Mario: Oregon.

00:35:36.664 --> 00:35:36.894
Yeah.

00:35:36.894 --> 00:35:37.314
It's west

00:35:37.669 --> 00:35:39.079
Alan: so that's reasonably
close to you, right?

00:35:39.289 --> 00:35:39.799
So

00:35:40.069 --> 00:35:42.409
since this is using live view, this.

00:35:43.909 --> 00:35:47.179
A more latency for me, a
lot more latency for me

00:35:47.179 --> 00:35:47.569
than you.

00:35:47.779 --> 00:35:49.429
And it still feels okay for me.

00:35:49.429 --> 00:35:51.979
It's, I mean, there's
a, an 80 millisecond.

00:35:52.189 --> 00:35:54.319
You can't get faster than that.

00:35:55.129 --> 00:35:57.289
So that's like the best case scenario.

00:35:57.283 --> 00:36:01.495
So because a lot of the, so there's
two types of interaction on.

00:36:02.710 --> 00:36:06.400
On the site, there's ones which are using
Alpine, which are like dropdown menus

00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:08.500
and hotter states, things like that.

00:36:08.494 --> 00:36:14.913
And then there's life view actions, which
are basically it triggers a uses the web

00:36:14.913 --> 00:36:19.233
socket to basically tell the server what's
happened in the server responds where they

00:36:19.233 --> 00:36:21.273
chunk of HTML that's replaced on the page.

00:36:21.633 --> 00:36:25.683
So anything as far as your plan,
in terms of checking off something,

00:36:25.683 --> 00:36:30.694
moving something, editing something
you know, clicking on a a plan item

00:36:31.024 --> 00:36:32.344
and changing it to an eight state.

00:36:32.344 --> 00:36:35.164
All of those are actually
responses from the server.

00:36:35.194 --> 00:36:37.474
The HTML cluster is
given back by the server.

00:36:37.714 --> 00:36:40.804
So I'm curious how responsive it
feels like when you're close by is

00:36:40.804 --> 00:36:43.894
it feels pretty like almost instantaneous.

00:36:44.204 --> 00:36:46.984
Mario: it feels pretty
instantaneous to me.

00:36:46.984 --> 00:36:50.944
It, it, yeah, there's really not any,

00:36:50.972 --> 00:36:53.797
noticeable latency at all.

00:36:53.857 --> 00:36:56.317
It's just, yeah, it's very snappy.

00:36:57.287 --> 00:36:57.767
Yeah.

00:36:58.117 --> 00:36:59.647
Alan: I mean, my, it does.

00:36:59.947 --> 00:37:01.507
I don't wanna say it's noticeable.

00:37:01.507 --> 00:37:05.227
I I, notice it because I know what
I'm looking for when I'm doing it

00:37:05.227 --> 00:37:05.377
here.

00:37:06.007 --> 00:37:10.782
I notice it because it's like, ah,
it's, I mean, there's an 18 mil probably

00:37:10.782 --> 00:37:11.922
a hundred milliseconds, you know,

00:37:11.952 --> 00:37:15.185
rounded up between clicking on
a plan and it becoming editable.

00:37:15.231 --> 00:37:17.241
There's ways I could change that.

00:37:17.241 --> 00:37:20.690
So, you know, happens on the client
first, but using just straight

00:37:20.780 --> 00:37:22.280
forward roll live view to do it.

00:37:22.310 --> 00:37:23.660
There's, that's how he does it.

00:37:23.660 --> 00:37:28.509
So yeah, that's kind of, I wish I
was a bit closer to the service, but

00:37:28.569 --> 00:37:30.309
I, I it's nice being the worst case.

00:37:30.309 --> 00:37:30.519
Right.

00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:32.079
Or I guess Australia
would be a worst case.

00:37:32.133 --> 00:37:33.573
It's but it still

00:37:33.573 --> 00:37:37.353
feels absolutely good enough
from here, so yeah, I can imagine

00:37:37.353 --> 00:37:37.533
it.

00:37:37.743 --> 00:37:39.483
Mario: So your, your server is in Oregon.

00:37:39.483 --> 00:37:39.633
You

00:37:39.633 --> 00:37:39.933
said.

00:37:40.223 --> 00:37:41.453
Alan: Yeah, yeah,

00:37:41.748 --> 00:37:42.198
Mario: Okay.

00:37:42.198 --> 00:37:44.448
So is that a AWS?

00:37:44.658 --> 00:37:45.558
Can you share or,

00:37:45.588 --> 00:37:45.948
okay.

00:37:46.113 --> 00:37:46.713
Alan: Yes they do.

00:37:46.743 --> 00:37:46.953
Yes.

00:37:47.103 --> 00:37:49.123
So I'm using a service called a Gigalixir,

00:37:49.143 --> 00:37:51.783
which is kind of Heroku for Elixir.

00:37:51.775 --> 00:37:55.807
And they have the option of
going through Google or Amazon.

00:37:55.807 --> 00:37:59.977
You can choose that they've got set
up, I think on four or to Amazon, to

00:37:59.977 --> 00:38:01.927
Google data centers that you can choose.

00:38:01.922 --> 00:38:07.559
And U S west one is, is the optimum
for me because it's the closest to me.

00:38:07.589 --> 00:38:11.459
And it's, it's kind of the, I guess
if you're in the U S you'd probably

00:38:11.459 --> 00:38:14.609
choose, you know, us central on Google
is probably a best case, but for

00:38:14.609 --> 00:38:20.720
me, it's, it's closest to personal
request to, and also it's, it feels

00:38:20.720 --> 00:38:21.950
like a good balance for everybody.

00:38:21.950 --> 00:38:22.520
So

00:38:22.580 --> 00:38:26.690
it's, if it works for me, then it should
be fine for what else was, was my thinking

00:38:26.690 --> 00:38:26.840
then.

00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:27.690
Mario: yeah.

00:38:27.690 --> 00:38:28.350
exactly.

00:38:28.770 --> 00:38:30.150
I did the same thing.

00:38:30.180 --> 00:38:31.710
My servers are in Oregon too.

00:38:32.130 --> 00:38:37.823
And I figured it doesn't re nowadays it
doesn't really with with the internet.

00:38:37.823 --> 00:38:42.083
It doesn't really matter because
you're going to have people connecting

00:38:42.083 --> 00:38:43.583
from the other side of the world.

00:38:43.583 --> 00:38:50.423
So even if I were to go with a data
center, you know, in the middle of the,

00:38:50.423 --> 00:38:57.023
of the U S it it doesn't really matter
because people connecting from Japan or

00:38:57.023 --> 00:39:01.920
Asia or some, you know, anywhere it's
still gonna be around the world, you know?

00:39:02.195 --> 00:39:02.645
Alan: Right, right.

00:39:02.675 --> 00:39:03.185
Exactly.

00:39:03.395 --> 00:39:06.978
I mean, so I've someone has
recommended CloudFlare Argo to me,

00:39:07.218 --> 00:39:10.899
which is Cloudflare's per perf.

00:39:10.989 --> 00:39:12.789
It basically optimizes the path from.

00:39:13.564 --> 00:39:14.674
Client to the server.

00:39:14.884 --> 00:39:16.714
So it would say you're
going from Australia.

00:39:17.014 --> 00:39:20.794
You know, you might end up with, you
know, multiple routes, which is some

00:39:20.794 --> 00:39:23.084
of them far from optimum using Argo.

00:39:23.104 --> 00:39:24.394
It's expensive.

00:39:24.408 --> 00:39:29.936
As in it's, when you look at the but
apparently it does significantly minimize

00:39:29.936 --> 00:39:31.968
that that route or optimize the route.

00:39:31.968 --> 00:39:36.468
So you basically get like preferred
route from wherever to the server, but

00:39:36.588 --> 00:39:38.388
I'm hoping I don't have to pay for that.

00:39:38.388 --> 00:39:38.628
So

00:39:39.093 --> 00:39:39.483
Mario: Yeah.

00:39:40.563 --> 00:39:40.833
That's

00:39:40.833 --> 00:39:41.253
a,

00:39:41.348 --> 00:39:45.498
Alan: the server is an elixir a
quick enough that the response from

00:39:45.498 --> 00:39:49.128
the server is so quick that I'm
basically dealing with latency.

00:39:49.128 --> 00:39:53.628
That's the only expense, you know, it's,
it's, it's a millisecond or two for the

00:39:53.628 --> 00:39:55.248
server to create their response.

00:39:55.278 --> 00:39:56.448
And then you just got latency.

00:39:56.898 --> 00:39:57.318
So.

00:39:57.983 --> 00:39:58.313
Mario: yeah.

00:39:58.313 --> 00:40:04.080
And I wonder if it's more cost-effective
to, before going that route of, you know,

00:40:04.080 --> 00:40:06.918
CloudFlare enhanced features or whatever.

00:40:06.940 --> 00:40:11.588
I wonder if it's more cost-effective
to just  up the server you know,

00:40:11.618 --> 00:40:16.762
first, if you need a boosting in
performance, just up the caliber of

00:40:16.762 --> 00:40:18.292
the server that you're running on.

00:40:18.292 --> 00:40:19.912
And until you exhaust,

00:40:20.482 --> 00:40:21.652
you know, That that

00:40:21.727 --> 00:40:25.717
Alan: mean, for, for, in, in my case,
especially, you know, the, the slowest bit

00:40:25.747 --> 00:40:31.627
is, is always going to be the, the latency
because the, the database is on RDS.

00:40:31.657 --> 00:40:36.619
And so I did this founder's
life thing a month or so ago.

00:40:36.619 --> 00:40:36.859
Right.

00:40:36.919 --> 00:40:41.389
So I got a bunch of AWS credits
for that like $5,000 worth of

00:40:41.389 --> 00:40:42.259
AWS credits.

00:40:42.259 --> 00:40:42.439
Good.

00:40:42.439 --> 00:40:43.069
For two years.

00:40:43.069 --> 00:40:45.169
So I'm like, yeah, big database.

00:40:45.259 --> 00:40:45.499
So

00:40:45.694 --> 00:40:46.354
Mario: Nice.

00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:50.689
Alan: basically spending way
more than I ever would personally

00:40:50.786 --> 00:40:52.736
on a, an RDS configuration.

00:40:52.736 --> 00:40:55.659
But because of that, the
database is now not the issue.

00:40:55.643 --> 00:41:01.793
So the, the actual CPU bound tasks
are very minimal right now because

00:41:01.805 --> 00:41:05.900
elixirs pretty damn quick and
the database is right next to it.

00:41:05.900 --> 00:41:06.710
And that's really quick.

00:41:06.710 --> 00:41:09.290
So it's, it's all latency pretty much.

00:41:09.314 --> 00:41:14.499
So I hope hopefully, you know,
That will be able to maintain that

00:41:14.499 --> 00:41:15.939
kind of balance that, you know,

00:41:16.569 --> 00:41:17.289
we'll see how that goes.

00:41:17.674 --> 00:41:18.574
Mario: Yeah.

00:41:18.699 --> 00:41:20.229
Alan: require users for that to change.

00:41:20.229 --> 00:41:20.439
Right.

00:41:20.964 --> 00:41:21.334
Mario: Yeah.

00:41:22.384 --> 00:41:22.744
True.

00:41:23.709 --> 00:41:25.449
Alan: So that's, that's been a yeah.

00:41:25.479 --> 00:41:28.329
A fun week or a week and a half

00:41:28.359 --> 00:41:34.345
of responding to that and just seeing how
people have using it setting up some I set

00:41:34.345 --> 00:41:37.410
up mixed panels, basic response tracking.

00:41:37.410 --> 00:41:40.425
So I'm trying to use this to two ways.

00:41:40.425 --> 00:41:42.855
I'm trying to record
how people are using it.

00:41:42.928 --> 00:41:47.788
So I'm using a service called Bento,
which is made by somebody local, for.

00:41:48.778 --> 00:41:52.133
Being able to trigger like email
drips and things like that.

00:41:52.133 --> 00:41:55.523
So that's the thing I'm trying to
design right now is like, you know,

00:41:55.523 --> 00:41:58.823
what do I, when do I want to do
things and what do I want them to do?

00:41:58.823 --> 00:42:02.243
So I want to start thinking about that
process of like, okay, they've logged

00:42:02.243 --> 00:42:06.443
in, they've created an organization,
but they haven't checked in yet.

00:42:06.443 --> 00:42:08.993
Well, in that case, if they haven't
done that for a day, maybe send them

00:42:08.993 --> 00:42:11.153
an email to say, why don't you do this?

00:42:11.153 --> 00:42:13.913
Or if they've checked in, but they
haven't invited somebody then, you

00:42:13.913 --> 00:42:15.983
know, maybe recommend them to do that.

00:42:15.983 --> 00:42:19.133
So I'm setting up that service to do that.

00:42:19.193 --> 00:42:20.393
And I need to figure out

00:42:20.423 --> 00:42:22.150
the, the flow of emails for that.

00:42:22.870 --> 00:42:23.080
But

00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:23.849
Mario: do you do that.

00:42:24.149 --> 00:42:25.499
programmatically with an

00:42:25.499 --> 00:42:26.099
API

00:42:26.644 --> 00:42:27.004
Alan: so

00:42:27.004 --> 00:42:27.514
it's a.

00:42:27.539 --> 00:42:28.769
Mario: with your, with your code?

00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:30.689
Alan: So he has a two things.

00:42:30.689 --> 00:42:33.629
There's either a JavaScript API,
which will basically just trigger pace

00:42:33.659 --> 00:42:38.354
changes or the, but they also have
a an a, an API, which I'm actually

00:42:38.354 --> 00:42:41.830
writing an Alexa module for to be
able to do that programmatically.

00:42:41.830 --> 00:42:45.190
But basically just say, they've
done this, they've done this.

00:42:45.700 --> 00:42:46.690
So you just send events.

00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.480
So it makes panel has exactly
the same thing in terms of

00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:51.175
triggering recording events.

00:42:51.505 --> 00:42:55.306
You basically just say this user
you know, just give them a number.

00:42:55.336 --> 00:42:58.739
This user did this, this user did
this, and you just send strings of you

00:42:58.739 --> 00:43:03.610
know, created an account signed up,
created organization, invited user.

00:43:03.610 --> 00:43:06.400
So you just, I'm Jason, just
sending a bunch of events down to

00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:08.660
Mixpanel, and then on Mixpanel.

00:43:08.680 --> 00:43:09.130
You can create.

00:43:09.166 --> 00:43:11.626
Basically queries to make a
dashboard of those things.

00:43:11.626 --> 00:43:14.536
So I say, so right now I've
got a thing, a graph, which

00:43:14.536 --> 00:43:16.156
says number of signups per day.

00:43:16.606 --> 00:43:22.366
And so every time you, you basically
can say show the number of times

00:43:22.366 --> 00:43:25.756
we get that event uniquely per day.

00:43:25.996 --> 00:43:29.356
And so you get a graph of signups per
day, same with number of check-ins

00:43:29.356 --> 00:43:31.249
are like number of plans created.

00:43:31.249 --> 00:43:34.399
So I have a little graph of a
little bar chart of how many

00:43:34.399 --> 00:43:35.959
plans have been created today.

00:43:36.024 --> 00:43:41.214
How many check-ins have been created so
you can see how the usage patterns are.

00:43:41.214 --> 00:43:46.807
So without getting all you know,
nosy about who did what, this just

00:43:46.807 --> 00:43:51.277
gives me an overview of like, some
people did this thing this many times

00:43:51.517 --> 00:43:53.931
without being too I effecting people.

00:43:53.931 --> 00:43:54.651
Yeah, exactly.

00:43:54.651 --> 00:43:55.881
I mean, I don't care.

00:43:55.881 --> 00:43:58.971
I don't, I don't want to see, I don't want
to know anything that anybody's doing.

00:43:59.050 --> 00:44:03.220
But it's useful to me to know
how often people are checking in.

00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:07.000
So how often, how many people have
made plans today or how many people

00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:07.990
have checked off plans today?

00:44:07.990 --> 00:44:12.040
So just by triggering, like telemetry
events of when someone's done

00:44:12.040 --> 00:44:15.970
something I can just say again,
it's, it's a, it's a hashed user

00:44:15.970 --> 00:44:17.320
ID, so I don't know who did it.

00:44:17.376 --> 00:44:22.266
All I know is that at this point
in time, a user and it's unique

00:44:22.266 --> 00:44:24.006
because it's hashed did this thing.

00:44:24.426 --> 00:44:29.439
So and again, mixed panel have like
this, this space, I guess, is highly

00:44:29.439 --> 00:44:34.179
competitive for like, I guess there's
a hundred different people trying to

00:44:34.509 --> 00:44:38.902
be the, the one provider, I guess,
like segment.io Mixpanel data.

00:44:39.637 --> 00:44:41.137
Box there's, there's a bunch of these.

00:44:41.497 --> 00:44:44.287
So, Mixpanel have a thing where
you just say you're a startup.

00:44:44.302 --> 00:44:47.122
I I've literally new customers
start up and they give you

00:44:47.122 --> 00:44:48.772
$50,000 worth of credits.

00:44:49.012 --> 00:44:50.002
And I'm like, okay.

00:44:50.062 --> 00:44:52.233
So I mean, it's, it's fake money, right.

00:44:52.233 --> 00:44:54.483
But at the same time means it
means I can use a service for free

00:44:54.483 --> 00:44:55.863
for a year, as much as I want.

00:44:55.863 --> 00:44:59.693
So I guess after that, they'll get you
and I'll decide, you know, either I'm in

00:44:59.703 --> 00:45:04.781
a position where I can afford to continue
or I can't and don't need to because,

00:45:04.956 --> 00:45:05.256
Mario: Yeah.

00:45:06.141 --> 00:45:09.801
Alan: so at least it gives you a year
to figure out what to do with it.

00:45:09.801 --> 00:45:10.576
So yeah.

00:45:10.616 --> 00:45:11.546
Recommend doing that.

00:45:11.546 --> 00:45:14.186
If you want to get an idea, I
mean, in your case, you know, you

00:45:14.186 --> 00:45:16.769
could literally say, you know,
somebody you know, created a.

00:45:17.744 --> 00:45:20.144
It created a scheduled on a, a call.

00:45:20.324 --> 00:45:23.864
Somebody started a call, someone joined
a call, someone started recording.

00:45:23.894 --> 00:45:28.264
You could basically just see, can
trigger either via JS or via serverside.

00:45:28.664 --> 00:45:33.153
And again, as long as it's just hash
the user ID in a specific way you can

00:45:33.153 --> 00:45:37.593
just get a, a dashboard of those events
and just knowing, I mean, I literally

00:45:37.623 --> 00:45:41.643
just have a dashboard then I just can
see that one person signed up today.

00:45:41.673 --> 00:45:44.253
You know, some accepted an
invite, somebody, you know, five

00:45:44.643 --> 00:45:46.833
plans have been created, you
know, to have been checked off.

00:45:47.133 --> 00:45:49.881
So it's just gives me an idea
of that's the usage patterns

00:45:49.881 --> 00:45:51.321
without getting too invasive or,

00:45:51.371 --> 00:45:52.301
Mario: That sounds awesome.

00:45:52.361 --> 00:45:52.751
Yeah.

00:45:52.781 --> 00:45:55.451
I, I would like to do
that, something like that

00:45:55.961 --> 00:45:56.681
at some point.

00:45:57.206 --> 00:45:57.566
Alan: yes.

00:45:57.575 --> 00:46:00.608
Highly recommend just, just to get
that idea and say then the next

00:46:00.608 --> 00:46:04.688
thing for me is, is looking at Bento
to, to, get the same thing going

00:46:04.718 --> 00:46:06.548
with like email trips, because.

00:46:07.963 --> 00:46:10.873
Somebody signs up, you know, right
now I've just got, you know, the

00:46:10.903 --> 00:46:13.723
welcome email goes out and they've
got the invitation email goes out.

00:46:13.750 --> 00:46:19.273
But I then want to separate the kind
of like the sales emails from that.

00:46:19.273 --> 00:46:23.566
So something, you know, that goes out
at when people do particular things.

00:46:23.626 --> 00:46:23.836
Yeah.

00:46:23.896 --> 00:46:26.446
I'm like, I want to manage
that outside of my application.

00:46:26.446 --> 00:46:27.916
I don't want to write that in my code.

00:46:27.946 --> 00:46:28.906
That's like, and

00:46:30.646 --> 00:46:32.996
so also, I don't know if you've
noticed, but I also have email

00:46:32.996 --> 00:46:36.176
reminders that you can create from
within the application as well.

00:46:36.176 --> 00:46:38.411
So you can say like email me at 6:00

00:46:38.411 --> 00:46:40.466
PM every day to do a check in.

00:46:40.466 --> 00:46:40.766
So,

00:46:41.266 --> 00:46:41.846
Mario: Oh, okay.

00:46:41.846 --> 00:46:43.286
I didn't know that,

00:46:43.746 --> 00:46:48.026
Alan: I, I, well, that's the thing
nobody else has created apart from me.

00:46:48.356 --> 00:46:49.856
So I'm like, okay.

00:46:49.976 --> 00:46:50.156
But

00:46:50.156 --> 00:46:55.286
because I can see that on Mixpanel, I'm
like, okay, I need to prioritize that.

00:46:55.316 --> 00:46:59.284
Like was so I'm doing it now after
you've created a basically creates an

00:46:59.284 --> 00:47:02.074
organization or joined an organization.

00:47:02.704 --> 00:47:05.104
I'm going to come up with
a, like an info banner.

00:47:05.134 --> 00:47:08.914
So I'm thinking of putting it in like
the top right of the dashboard page.

00:47:08.973 --> 00:47:13.170
Kind of put a box around it to say you
know, did you know, you can set a, a daily

00:47:13.170 --> 00:47:16.261
reminder or something and then close it if
you want, if you don't want it to go away.

00:47:16.471 --> 00:47:19.130
But I'm thinking of using
that space as like a like a

00:47:19.130 --> 00:47:21.740
recommendation of what to do kind of

00:47:21.740 --> 00:47:21.950
thing.

00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:25.840
So if you haven't invited somebody,
then you know, why don't you invite

00:47:25.850 --> 00:47:30.108
a teammate if they haven't created
a, a a reminder, maybe remind them

00:47:30.108 --> 00:47:32.688
to do that, or otherwise just,
you know, use it for something

00:47:32.688 --> 00:47:34.728
fun if there's nothing to tell them.

00:47:34.728 --> 00:47:38.508
So kind of a space that
is that the top right.

00:47:38.508 --> 00:47:41.598
Of the, at the dashboard
page use that for something

00:47:41.928 --> 00:47:45.468
informative or like a, did
you know that kind of space?

00:47:45.888 --> 00:47:46.158
So.

00:47:46.363 --> 00:47:47.143
Mario: that sounds good.

00:47:47.203 --> 00:47:48.853
That sounds like a really good idea.

00:47:49.143 --> 00:47:51.303
Alan: But again, but mixed panel
is showing me that no one has

00:47:51.303 --> 00:47:53.237
created a reminder is like ah,

00:47:54.497 --> 00:47:54.997
Mario: Yeah.

00:47:55.127 --> 00:47:57.377
Alan: should do something about that Cause
right now it's just in the settings page.

00:47:57.377 --> 00:47:58.787
If you go to settings as reminders.

00:47:58.787 --> 00:48:00.474
And so I'm curious about that as well,

00:48:00.474 --> 00:48:03.654
because that's, that was a nightmare to
write from a time zone point of view.

00:48:04.664 --> 00:48:05.174
Mario: Oh Yeah.

00:48:05.174 --> 00:48:07.640
I I can only imagine time-zones such

00:48:07.640 --> 00:48:09.170
in such a pain.

00:48:09.530 --> 00:48:09.680
Alan: Yeah.

00:48:10.020 --> 00:48:13.170
So yeah, obviously if you say you
want it to go out at 6:00 PM and

00:48:13.170 --> 00:48:15.840
I say, I want it to, go out at
6:00 PM there, different things.

00:48:16.730 --> 00:48:17.040
Mario: Yeah.

00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:21.360
Alan: So I want to, the next thing
I want to add is say, I want to

00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:23.190
send it at 6:00 PM on weekdays.

00:48:23.184 --> 00:48:24.549
Right now it just sends it every day.

00:48:24.633 --> 00:48:27.903
I want it, so you can say, send
it at five 30 every weekday.

00:48:27.889 --> 00:48:32.899
So then I've got to basically check
anybody who's, you know, needs a reminder.

00:48:32.929 --> 00:48:34.159
Well, what, what days?

00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:36.709
It not just, what time is it for
them, but what day is it for them?

00:48:36.829 --> 00:48:37.279
And

00:48:37.344 --> 00:48:37.884
Mario: Yeah,

00:48:38.464 --> 00:48:42.694
Alan: And that changes, obviously,
if I suddenly go back to the UK for a

00:48:42.694 --> 00:48:44.745
week I want that kind of to follow me.

00:48:45.735 --> 00:48:46.125
Right?

00:48:46.635 --> 00:48:50.025
So, because it updates the
user's time zone when you log in.

00:48:50.385 --> 00:48:54.495
So anytime you go to the dashboard,
it basically records your current

00:48:54.495 --> 00:48:55.755
time zone via the browser.

00:48:56.295 --> 00:49:01.665
So that those reminders will actually
then automatically reshare module

00:49:01.665 --> 00:49:03.885
because it just uses UTC to store.

00:49:04.005 --> 00:49:08.152
So those from that point on
will then be 5:00 PM in the UK

00:49:08.152 --> 00:49:09.322
rather than 5:00 PM Japan.

00:49:09.952 --> 00:49:11.722
So that should work

00:49:12.607 --> 00:49:13.417
Mario: Yeah, it

00:49:13.432 --> 00:49:14.932
Alan: all my tests, have it work.

00:49:14.999 --> 00:49:18.149
But I'm curious to know, to have
some other people in different

00:49:18.149 --> 00:49:19.469
times on use it to see how it

00:49:19.769 --> 00:49:20.249
makes sure it

00:49:20.249 --> 00:49:22.019
works, confirmed that I'm not going crazy.

00:49:22.019 --> 00:49:23.849
And my tests are actually useful.

00:49:24.544 --> 00:49:24.934
Mario: okay.

00:49:24.964 --> 00:49:26.764
I'm going to, I'm going to try, I'm going

00:49:26.764 --> 00:49:27.784
to use that I'm going

00:49:27.784 --> 00:49:30.484
to do something with it
then I'll report back.

00:49:31.964 --> 00:49:32.354
Yeah.

00:49:33.164 --> 00:49:38.474
Alan: So, yeah, so this, my plan for this
weekend is to basically invite some teams.

00:49:38.564 --> 00:49:39.434
I've say

00:49:39.434 --> 00:49:39.674
I've

00:49:39.718 --> 00:49:45.857
I've improved the invitation system page
a little bit as well, to give a little bit

00:49:45.857 --> 00:49:47.649
of information as to what you're doing.

00:49:47.641 --> 00:49:50.922
As you mentioned, a lot of
the UI is some of it's good.

00:49:50.922 --> 00:49:54.372
Some of it is very utilitarian and
the invitation page has one of them.

00:49:54.372 --> 00:49:54.972
It worked.

00:49:55.032 --> 00:49:59.682
And then I was like, I don't, I wasn't
in the mindset to, to figure out

00:49:59.682 --> 00:50:02.007
how to fix that how to display it.

00:50:02.007 --> 00:50:03.980
So I spent a bit of time
with that last night.

00:50:04.096 --> 00:50:05.836
So it now has like a description.

00:50:05.836 --> 00:50:06.826
You can add a message.

00:50:06.826 --> 00:50:10.607
There's like a default message that you
can send as part of your your invitation.

00:50:10.607 --> 00:50:11.687
You can change that.

00:50:11.747 --> 00:50:14.567
And so that's all that's
improved somewhat.

00:50:15.017 --> 00:50:20.672
So now as that's working I'm going to
try and add this little information

00:50:20.672 --> 00:50:24.722
box in the, on the dashboard and
then send out to some teams at the

00:50:24.722 --> 00:50:28.622
weekend and cross my fingers and
hope for somebody wants to use it.

00:50:31.562 --> 00:50:34.502
so so it's been a, it's been good.

00:50:34.612 --> 00:50:38.202
It's it's simultaneously like,

00:50:38.912 --> 00:50:39.677
oh, this is great.

00:50:39.737 --> 00:50:43.067
I've got some users and also
like, oh crap, I've got users now.

00:50:43.067 --> 00:50:44.387
Like what if nobody wants it?

00:50:44.417 --> 00:50:45.527
What if nobody uses it?

00:50:46.217 --> 00:50:50.387
So it w it's like, before that
point it's anything's possible.

00:50:50.387 --> 00:50:50.687
Right.

00:50:50.717 --> 00:50:52.157
And then you're like, oh crap.

00:50:52.157 --> 00:50:53.027
No, one's logged in today.

00:50:53.057 --> 00:50:53.747
Like, why not?

00:50:55.397 --> 00:50:56.147
It's Sunday.

00:50:56.357 --> 00:50:56.657
Oh yeah.

00:50:56.657 --> 00:50:56.987
That's why,

00:50:58.307 --> 00:51:00.096
but you get a little bit I say, I

00:51:00.096 --> 00:51:04.116
don't, you know, right now
it's still very early learning

00:51:04.116 --> 00:51:05.556
days and because of the people

00:51:05.556 --> 00:51:08.616
I've invited, I don't expect massive

00:51:09.396 --> 00:51:09.696
like

00:51:09.906 --> 00:51:10.566
use.

00:51:10.656 --> 00:51:10.896
Yeah.

00:51:10.926 --> 00:51:11.376
exactly.

00:51:11.511 --> 00:51:14.301
It's going to be trying things
dipping into the Panetta was into it.

00:51:14.368 --> 00:51:14.638
But.

00:51:15.503 --> 00:51:16.613
Mario: And that's the way it goes.

00:51:16.703 --> 00:51:17.613
I, I

00:51:17.787 --> 00:51:21.977
find myself in a similar situation,
I've onboarded a few people and

00:51:21.977 --> 00:51:27.781
I'm only a couple of people have
logged on and tried it, you know

00:51:27.779 --> 00:51:30.142
I think I, I'm only aware of one

00:51:30.142 --> 00:51:35.282
person who actually recorded
an episode and which I talk, I

00:51:35.282 --> 00:51:37.062
mentioned earlier in a, had a

00:51:37.167 --> 00:51:38.577
Alan: Wasn't it didn't
go perfectly, right?

00:51:38.612 --> 00:51:38.882
Mario: yeah, it.

00:51:38.882 --> 00:51:40.250
didn't go perfectly, but but.

00:51:40.250 --> 00:51:40.640
he was able

00:51:40.640 --> 00:51:40.760
to

00:51:40.760 --> 00:51:42.080
record and.

00:51:43.290 --> 00:51:43.680
Yeah.

00:51:43.680 --> 00:51:48.340
So you know, in my case, I have to
understand that some of these people,

00:51:48.340 --> 00:51:54.160
they already have a solution and they're
just, you know, kind enough to be willing

00:51:54.160 --> 00:51:59.050
to give my product a try and just,
they're interested in checking it out.

00:51:59.086 --> 00:52:03.916
And they might schedule a session here
and there at some point or they might

00:52:03.916 --> 00:52:08.975
be waiting for a chance to give it a
try without it being like a critical

00:52:08.975 --> 00:52:13.885
recording session that they want to do,
because after all this is still beta.

00:52:13.935 --> 00:52:18.825
So I totally, you know, understand if
it takes them a while to get to it,

00:52:18.885 --> 00:52:21.525
Alan: and plus, you know, it's not
something well, unless you're a

00:52:21.525 --> 00:52:25.505
professional, full-time podcaster is
not something that you're going to have.

00:52:25.745 --> 00:52:27.005
Okay, I'm going to use this right now.

00:52:27.005 --> 00:52:29.405
It's like, no, I'll have a, you
know, there's a recording that

00:52:29.405 --> 00:52:30.905
I need to do next Wednesday.

00:52:30.905 --> 00:52:34.574
And you know, the usage patterns
are going to be not necessarily

00:52:34.574 --> 00:52:36.494
predictable, regular, like,

00:52:36.592 --> 00:52:38.002
Maybe regular, but not frequent.

00:52:38.412 --> 00:52:38.922
Mario: Totally.

00:52:39.072 --> 00:52:39.893
And yeah.

00:52:39.923 --> 00:52:41.013
And we'll see.

00:52:41.070 --> 00:52:46.710
One thing I wanted to mention before
we wrap it up, the problem that we had

00:52:46.710 --> 00:52:51.303
with your recording last time which,
you know, today you were not able to,

00:52:51.393 --> 00:52:57.043
to get in without the recovery mode
popping up was because in the, and

00:52:57.043 --> 00:52:59.023
I I've addressed this issue already.

00:52:59.037 --> 00:53:01.481
But before the leave button.

00:53:01.792 --> 00:53:03.382
When I, as a host

00:53:03.382 --> 00:53:06.952
select to leave the session, it
ends the session for everybody

00:53:06.952 --> 00:53:08.602
else Well, it wasn't checking

00:53:08.602 --> 00:53:11.932
for the state of, others in the session.

00:53:11.962 --> 00:53:15.222
And so if you were still
uploading it'll kick you out.

00:53:15.222 --> 00:53:16.422
so I changed that.

00:53:16.422 --> 00:53:22.422
So that now as the host, if you select
to end the session won't let you, unless

00:53:22.422 --> 00:53:24.792
everyone in the session is done uploading.

00:53:25.142 --> 00:53:25.412
Alan: Yup,

00:53:25.562 --> 00:53:25.922
Gotcha.

00:53:26.112 --> 00:53:27.402
Mario: it checks for that now.

00:53:27.398 --> 00:53:32.858
And before it was only checking for my,
for the local, you know, the local state.

00:53:33.458 --> 00:53:35.569
And and so that's what
happened last time when I

00:53:35.569 --> 00:53:39.289
ended the session, you were still
uploading and it kicked you out and

00:53:39.289 --> 00:53:40.699
it didn't get a chance to finish.

00:53:40.799 --> 00:53:41.849
Alan: Say, this is why we're doing it.

00:53:42.779 --> 00:53:45.839
This is why we're making these
help you a debug, all this stuff.

00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:46.549
Mario: Yeah.

00:53:46.609 --> 00:53:47.029
Yeah.

00:53:48.679 --> 00:53:49.309
So,

00:53:49.339 --> 00:53:50.229
Alan: It's, difficult.

00:53:50.229 --> 00:53:50.589
This stuff.

00:53:50.619 --> 00:53:55.509
I mean, especially asynchronous,
synchronous and asynchronous, because yet

00:53:55.509 --> 00:53:58.719
you need these things to happen, but you
don't know when they're going to happen.

00:53:58.719 --> 00:53:59.019
Right.

00:53:59.019 --> 00:53:59.689
So it's

00:54:00.479 --> 00:54:00.629
Mario: Yeah.

00:54:00.629 --> 00:54:01.259
That's crazy.

00:54:01.629 --> 00:54:02.349
Alan: It's tricky, man.

00:54:02.909 --> 00:54:03.299
Mario: Yup.

00:54:03.519 --> 00:54:04.119
Alan: It's close.

00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:05.169
You just get this

00:54:05.229 --> 00:54:06.599
recording bug salted and you begin,

00:54:07.069 --> 00:54:07.549
Mario: I know.

00:54:09.469 --> 00:54:09.889
Cool.

00:54:10.189 --> 00:54:10.639
All right.

00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:12.649
So maybe it's a good time to wrap it.

00:54:12.649 --> 00:54:12.889
up

00:54:13.013 --> 00:54:13.583
Alan: It sounds like it.

00:54:13.685 --> 00:54:15.605
So if I hit stop recording now,

00:54:16.340 --> 00:54:16.760
Mario: Okay.

00:54:17.135 --> 00:54:19.685
Alan: and then, so I'm just
thinking, give it time to finish

00:54:19.685 --> 00:54:19.835
up.

00:54:20.020 --> 00:54:20.410
Mario: Yeah.

00:54:20.650 --> 00:54:20.890
Yeah.

00:54:20.890 --> 00:54:21.250
That sounds

00:54:21.250 --> 00:54:21.420
good.
