Bug fixes, agent config, and marketing overwhelm

Today I focused on tightening up what's already there. I added a new way to upload profile images — drag-and-drop plus a preview, which should make onboarding feel less clunky. Most of the day went into bug fixes from user feedback. Some were quick one-liners, others required digging into race conditions in the queue.

I also dedicated a full session to fine-tuning the background agents. They handle data enrichment and verification for creator profiles. The old config was fragile — one slow API call could stall everything. I rebuilt it with a new configuration that’s simpler and more efficient: each agent now has a dedicated queue, timeouts, and retry logic. It's not glamorous, but it should keep things running without constant babysitting.

Web services got some love too — mostly logging and error handling improvements so I can actually see what breaks before users do.

Marketing is still the biggest unsolved problem. Every day I plan to write a thread, schedule outreach, or prep a case study — and every day the product work consumes it. I feel like I'm treading water. Keeping up with both building and broadcasting is harder than I thought.

Tomorrow is my wife's birthday. Happy birthday, my lady — you're the reason I'm doing all of this. I'll take the day off to celebrate, then get back at it Sunday.
