Day 10 of Building Crowdwide — The Newsletter Is Getting Smarter!

YAYAYAYAYA!! Welcome to Day 10 of the no-filter, no-sugarcoating series of building Crowdwide!!

Today's progress:
- 11 members
- 38 posts
- 4 communities

The progress is getting steady! Compared to days 4–6, Crowdwide is now in a much more stable state. V2 is coming on 1 November 2026, and most features are done. Only polishing remains!

Every Sunday, Crowdwide sends newsletters to subscribers. This time, I tested personalization, and it's working very well!

Previously, everyone received the same newsletter. Now, sections like For You, Trending, and You May Like make the experience more personalized. The mailing system is working fine as wine for now!

I also fixed post formatting. No more useless `#` and `**` symbols destroying your reading experience. Feeling more polished, isn't it?? Don't lie, LOL.

User suggestions 💡

Neeraj suggested targeting Discord and Telegram community owners, local businesses, and indie makers. Honestly, these ideas seem useful, especially reaching indie makers. COME ON, INDIESS!! CROWDWIDE IS BUILT FOR YOU!

Madan suggested inviting active members to co-host communities. Great idea! I've noticed 5–7 users visiting every 2–4 days, so maybe it's time to talk to them!

Midnight disaster 💀

Yesterday, emails suddenly stopped working! After checking everything, I discovered my Google Cloud OAuth refresh token had expired. Generated a new one, redeployed, and everything was working again!

One more thing: I used to write almost all my articles with AI. Now, I write them myself and only use AI for punctuation. One of my posts got 1.7K+ views in under 6 days! WOOAH!!

I won't let Crowdwide die that easily!
