Here is a neat little trick when you need to test a verification flow in #PhoenixFramework: gist.github.com/wmnnd/cb80d4...
It's a common pattern to pass a URL generator to a context function. But you can pass a function that captures the token with an Agent instead.

Who else keeps getting fake vulnerability reports paired with extortion attempts in their inbox?
This is really annoying because obviously I would be very interested if there was an actual vulnerability in one of my projects.

Do things that don't scale: A Keila customer called me while I was at the gym.
Normally, I wouldn't have been back at work for at least 1.5 hours.
Instead, I ran home, activated their account, and then returned to the gym. Extra workout, happy customer. Win-win. #buildinpublic #indiehackers 💪

Does anyone have experience in reporting fraud to banks? I tried to report an account being used for a scam to Santander Portugal but their phone support said only customers can report fraud and their online chat is broken.

Currency devaluation in action: Back in January, 8 USD was worth about 8 EUR.
The Dollar has since fallen so far that $8 now equals only €6.90. Unfortunately this means I have to raise the USD prices for new Keila XS subscriptions from $8 to $9.50.

TIL: Safari hides SVGs in Flexbox containers if they don't have an explicit width attribute. This seems like a bug to me.

Working on simplifying the Sender form (while also working on a big update for Send with Keila on Keila Cloud).
I found that a lot of users filled out the reply-to fields even though they aren't really necessary. So I think I'll hide them in an expandable element now. #buildinpublic #uxdesign
