I recently launched a side project which I spent 3 months working on from paper idea through to alpha and now public.

It's a great feeling getting it out there even though there's lots of competition just having a foundation you can then adjust and build on top of is such a milestone!

Ive been in the crypto scene for a while now and most of the communities run on telegram messenger. I built a platform that allows you to register your own telegram bot that can help to manage the community. Delete messages, stop spammers, analytics etc.

modr8.net (Whitelabel telegram community management bot platform...)

Aimed to be something different as current services out there don't let you register your own bot which you can personalize to your brand, you have to add their bot which can make you look a bit cheap. With mine you control all your bot profile so avatar, profile description etc. This means people see the bot as something the community built itself and not one they got from my platform.

Very nieche! but I learnt so much new stuff I hadn't used before:

Stripe integration
Crypto payments
Docker
Message queue/work queues
Mixing JSON in postgres
Dashboard frontend frameworks
Telegram login widget

It's endless...

Whoa this looks amazing! I'm actually really impressed that you could put all of that together in 3 months as a side project! Wow. Nice work!!

Really cool that you did this! This journey definitely shows that working on something in iterations and not letting your own ideas of perfection block the process will allow you to actually put something out there. Loads of respect πŸ˜„βœ¨

Thank you!!

Yeah there were some moments of doubt towards the end there, but I launched it with the bare minimum features and people seem to like it so far, of course now it's just the beginning

There will be a feature explosion this month, so yeah if you're ever bored, check in to see where I am at the end of February 😬

Congrats on getting the app launched! That’s awesome. It’s good to see you take the time to celebrate the things that went well while finding areas to improve. Celebrating the victories is just as important as working towards the next iteration.
