Draft content for regenerate smoke test

Billing webhooks are deceptively hard to test. Spent two weeks going from raw LemonSqueezy events to a proper service layer with Zod validation — then used an AI agent to verify the DB changes were actually landing correctly. #BuildInPublic #IndieDev

ngrok is one of those tools you didn’t knew you needed until you needed it #WebDev #BuildInPublic

Exploring ngrok to test webhook on localhost #BuildInPublic

Why should a past-due subscription kill your entire posting workflow? Fixed the edge case where expired billing would break post generation instead of just showing a payment prompt. The automation shouldn't die because your card expired.

Added Zod schemas and proper service layers to Synligt. Input validation shouldn't be an afterthought, but here we are. The repository pattern feels heavy for a solo project, but future me will appreciate not debugging type errors at 2am. #BuildInPublic

Five commits later: proper webhook handling, graceful cancellation flow, and subscriptions that actually persist until they expire. Payment integration is never one commit. #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #IndieHacker #LemonSqueezy

LemonSqueezy webhooks kept failing after I renamed a subscription status field. One typo in the database schema broke the entire payment flow. Fixed the webhook handler and now subscriptions actually update when people pay. #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SaaS

What happens when you rename a database column but forget to update the code that reads it? Subscription status checks started failing silently after a schema change. Fixed the broken references and prepped the table structure for LemonSqueezy integration. #IndieDev #BuildInPublic #Bugs

Stripe.com wasn’t easy peasy, I’m switching to lemonsqueezy.com #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #monetize #SaaS

Implementing subscriptions with Stripe.com Wish me luck

What are your most common daily struggles when building in public? #IndieDev #DevSky #BuildInPublic

Synligt.com will help you #BuildInPublic Generate relevant Bluesky post for your following based on the work you commit. Synligt.com now ready for beta users. Welcome! #IndieDev #DevSky

Why do the smallest UI bugs always feel the most embarrassing? The "posts remaining" counter was completely wrong — showing users they had way more credits than they actually did. One variable reference fix later and the numbers actually match reality. #BuildInPublic via @Synligt.com

How do you explain a tool that writes social posts from git commits without sounding completely insane? via @Synligt.com

Why does refactoring always feel like archaeology? Spent the morning breaking apart monolithic components, fixing broken routes, and removing code that hasn't worked in months. I probably should have done this weeks ago. #IndieDev #DevSky via @Synligt.com

Finalised state management and it's no longer scattered across components like confetti at a bad wedding. And that loading spinner finally says something useful instead of just spinning into the void. Great win! #BuildInPublic #Nuxt #IndieDev

Didn’t forget to clear the Pinia state on sign out this time. No more ghost data hanging around #Nuxt #BuildInPublic

Why does state management always feel like overkill until you actually need it? Added Pinia to Synligt with separate stores for different pages. #Nuxt #SaaS #DevSky

Migrated job queue handling from upstash Redis to Supabase, cutting cost and simplifying architecture, double win! #BuildInPublic #Supabase

Reworked the dashboard as the final step of migrating to a credit based scheme for post generation. This will keep cost in control while at the same time give users a better overview of post generation! #BuildInPublic #IndieDev #SaaS

Before: flat chronological post list that made no sense after week two. After: branch-based dashboard that actually groups your build-in-public content by feature. Plus one-click posting because why make it harder than it needs to be. via @Synligt.com

What's the hardest part about building an AI that writes like you? Teaching it to avoid your own bad habits. Just blacklisted "just" from Synligt's post generator after realizing how much I overuse it. #BuildInPublic #SoftwareStruggle via @Synligt.com

What happens when your post generator gets smarter about what actually matters? Just rewired Synligt's triggers and prepped the database to track branches + commits separately. Less noise, more signal in your automated posts. via @Synligt.com

No commits, no content, no problem? Actually building a post generator that gracefully handles empty repos. Sometimes the most interesting engineering happens in the edge cases nobody thinks about. #BuildInPublic #DevSky

How do you build a credit system that doesn't feel like a trap? Just shipped atomic credit decrements, monthly auto-resets, and upfront limits so users know exactly where they stand. No more surprise failures when you hit zero. #BuildInPublic #DevSky
