pollux01··on Free Santa themed micro clicker game
I made this game where santa runs around the screen and jumps and slides.

You need to click the santa as he tries to evade you.

Your clicks increase combo box hits, and you try to reach a goal. Also no of santas on the screeen increases as you click the santa.

You can paste the scrip tag in your body and the game will work automatically

see how the game works here: https://backai.dev/festive-santa

try clicking the santa and increase hit rates

pollux01··on How to get user signups for my social media app? Warpcast a case study
You must have heard about Meta and TikTok using algorithms to keep people hooked into their products. Have you thought about using some of the algorithms they use on your landing page to get user signups? Could there be a system that we could set up to encourage users to sign up?

the graviton part was amazing. I wonder how it would look if you use spacetime rather than graviton.

I think, to make that work you need planet and with mass and a flat space time. And the add the particle of silica etc.. so it falls properly

pollux01··on New Study Says Maybe Helicopter Parenting Is Making Kids Depressed
I am a victim of this and was depressed until, I took control of my life.

The worst part is, all of your life decision are taken by the parents and you feel at odds at your own emotions when you grow up to become an adult. Now a days, any words that my parent utter, even if the advice is a good one, I never take them seriously.

Lost trust on both the parents.

btw im unable to edit that comment tho, ohh, i should have added an update, sorry
pollux01··on The open source Mailchimp alternative
Yeah, ppl said it's a bad idea, and then one of the commentors said to change it, so I did.
pollux01··on The open source Mailchimp alternative
I made it AGPL3 after your suggestion. Now everyone is happy I suppose
pollux01··on The open source Mailchimp alternative
I thought the community hates AGPL3. I'm not sure why forking and setting env varaible as OPEN_SOURCE=true would be a hard thing to do.
pollux01··on The open source Mailchimp alternative
Yes! I would want that too, the blocking thing here are adding open, click, delivered events.

SES and Sendgrid makes this easy, listening to webhooks. We have to write our own wrapper.

Hopefully after next week. This weeks plans are to finish campaigns and segmentation and also create a Shopify Cutom app guide.

pollux01··on The open source Mailchimp alternative
Ohh yup, you are correct, to solve this problem, we don't do our own email server but use an external service. Right now Bespoke uses AWS SES to send emails. To self host it you need an AWS SES account. We have added a guide in the docs on how to do that easily.

In the future we might make it much more simple, so you can just opt into any smtp service and start sending emails.

pollux01··on The open source Mailchimp alternative
Heyo! I'm Afi, I have been working on Bespoke for the past 8 months. I have a good feeling about Bespoke and I think it can only reach it's true potential if it's only open source. My thoughts are below.

Bespok's ultimate goals are as follows: -To engage in personalized marketing -To be trusted, because we do personlization

When we mention personalization, it involves gathering extensive user data, such as their behavior, purchase history, and browsing preferences. We understand that handling such sensitive information might lead to concerns about intrusion into users' privacy.

To establish trust in our system and demonstrate our transparent data collection practices, we have no choice but to open-source our software. By adopting an open-source approach, we can gain a competitive advantage in terms of trustworthiness and reliability.

Another crucial aspect of our long-term goal is to become a platform that facilitates data collection for any software operating on the internet. We aim to challenge the narratives surrounding companies like Facebook, TikTok, Google, etc., which have been criticized for exploiting user data to benefit advertisers. We believe that our approach can bring about a positive change, providing advertisers with an alternative platform where everything is conducted openly, instilling greater trust in the system among users.

I think the path forward towards the stated goals above is to start with a Mailchimp alternative. And eventually become the open source personlization marketing platform.

Hope you guys self host it today or sign up to check it out! Don't forget to give us a star on github!

MIT Licenced!

The basic idea here is to productize your services rather than doing hourly rates for your photography business.

I think screening can be done once a user chats with an AI agent. That was what my initial idea was, to converse with an AI agent to derive who you are and what you personality is. I needed to make something quick that's why I went with MB.

I suppose achieving samantha (from the movie her) level AI could be done in the near future if I put my work to it
