Day 315

Asim Akhtar,
Back


19:16 PM


My deadlines are lies


ffs


ok lets see


- 1 day finishing off end part of last screen



Okay, so


Most of the stuff above that is 1 day should only take me a 1-2 hours let's be honest


So tops 3 days?



Must go full focus, full speed



Also.


Facebook Access Verification - some BS thing


If I don't get verified within 60 days, no one will be able to use Facebook within my app, which is basically everyone


I've sent it off but they're very vague about everything. Quite annoying.



When I get bigger this shouldn't be as much of an issue, just right now Facebook is such a nuisance.


All these review processes simply hinder development



Oh and also, fun thing


Facebook doesn't let me re-submit my business verification


So on February 2023, I'll have to somehow make a new account, new business manager etc


(This is against their terms of service, but their interface doesn't allow me to re-upload or re-submit)


And their customer service will no doubt give me some generic nonsense 'please try again, clear cache/cookies'



I googled the issue before. As per usual, someone's made a bug report on Facebook. Absolutely no response from Facebook team.


About 30-50 people saying the same thing. Same issue. No help from Facebook.



I will never make my companies this idiotic ffs



As we get bigger, rules will apply more to us though


But as we achieve our goals, we should be able to create our own rules (i.e. no arbitrary regulations)


But until then, we gotta deal with this BS and work around it



Okay, so


I could theoretically completely remove the need for Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp


But I doubt it, since facebook comments + facebook messenger etc


Brands use this too much



Yeah I could make them only use the live chat thing self service but not yet


Now's not the time for that


Anyway that's an issue for 6-7 months from now





Before then, the only issue is Facebook Access Verification, which will screw us over in 45 days.


I don't think there's any reasonable work-around other than maybe contacting some Facebook ad agencies or something


No doubt there'll be other issues with other apps, processor holds and so forth, but we'll deal with them as they come...



Yes, this is still easy


I'm just pressing buttons on a keyboard


Not grinding out 24/7 working at a coalmine


This is easy


I simply need to be quicker, move faster, do more in less time


If I did, then these issues would be non-issues because I could just pay someone to solve them


LEVERAGE is what I need


We'll get there soon enough



We need to make our app as good as possible while being moderately independent from any individual app


Future apps will be better


More money more leverage
