Day 9 of Building Crowdwide 🚀
So today, I thought I wouldn't write any code. All features are working, UI polishing is done, moderation is improved, and suggestions are implemented!
But then I checked Render's free-tier hours... 💀
One account had already used 560+ out of 750 hours. I thought Crowdwide might have to sleep for 8–10 days.
BUT I'M A CRUEL DEVELOPER, SO... 😭
I deployed Crowdwide from my other Render account, which had used only 250+ hours. Migrated the environment variables, tested everything, and YAHHH!! IT WORKED!! 🔥
Remember, this project has 0 budget, no earnings, and I'm under 18, so funding isn't an option right now.
I also improved moderation after getting feedback from Harun, one of Crowdwide's moderators. Previously, moderators needed admin approval for almost EVERYTHING. That was my FAAAAAAAAAH system 😂 Now it's much smoother!
📊 Current Progress
- 10 members
- 37 posts
- 4 communities
But there's a problem...
Users sign up, like posts, comment, and then disappear. They don't post or join communities! 😭
Only 2 of our 4 communities are getting consistent posts, and those are mostly from me.
A platform feels alive with 100–200 active users, not with 250 crore passive audience!
But Crowdwide has only 10 users... 🙄 BRO, I ROASTED MYSELF.
Today, our users will receive a newsletter, and I'm excited to test whether the recommendations actually match their interests.
And guess what? Crowdwide V2's release date will be announced soon! 👀
