One of the more fun parts of launching a new product is creating the swag. My wife, a graphic designer and color consultant, designed an awesome logomark for the new Recollect notes app, making it easy to create attractive T-shirts and mugs.

15.2.2025 17:02New products need new swagCreating something you want to exist but know nobody else will build is treacherous. It takes a long time to make when you and your developer only work on it in your free time and when you feel like it. It’s also a money sink and a big bet into something that your target audience […]
The post The slow march toward an indie product launch appeared first on Coywolf Today.
21.12.2024 17:07The slow march toward an indie product launchI’ve had problems renewing my .fyi top-level domains (TLDs) on Cloudflare for several months. Each time I attempted to renew an FYI domain, they said the payment method failed. After testing different payment methods and having no problems renewing any other TLD with the same payment methods, I determined there had to be something wrong […]

2.9.2024 15:35Cloudflare’s registrar service adds Premium label to domainsThe new app I’ve built and am now using daily is built from the same PWA platform I created for Coywolf Contact. The core functionality is stable, and the branding has just been completed. What’s left are several features (some “wow” and some essential), applying the new branding to the design and layout, and creating […]
The post Prepping for Product Hunt appeared first on Coywolf Today.
23.6.2024 22:05Prepping for Product HuntLately, I’ve been inundated with links to Google Docs, reports, and other pages. I don’t want to close the tabs because I’ll need to reference them later, and using tab groups or bookmarks doesn’t help. In some situations, like meetings, I need to find them immediately. Fortunately, I found the solution to my problem. It’s […]

9.6.2024 16:15Find any Chrome tab quickly with this extensionAs someone who prefers generative human intelligence and has an issue with generative AI companies using content without permission to train their models and then profiting from the stolen content, I must put up roadblocks, even if somewhat futile, where I can. There’s nothing I can do about models that have already trained with my […]
The post Blocking generative AI bots in robots.txt appeared first on Coywolf Today.
16.3.2024 14:13Blocking generative AI bots in robots.txtThe Verge published an article on robots.txt that blamed unscrupulous AI companies for ruining the “social contract of the web.” The truth is that bots have skirted robots.txt rules for decades. AI bots and our request to block them still won’t stop the ones we don’t know about or the ones that ignore the robots […]
The post Bots have always been a problem appeared first on Coywolf Today.
15.2.2024 18:41Bots have always been a problemThe Google Play Store rejected my first review of Coywolf Contact. It’s fascinating how they communicate rejections. The language they use is so intense: Rejected and Policy Violation. So why was it rejected, and what was the policy violation? I didn’t include a demo login and password. So, it’s not the worst rejection or policy […]
The post First Google Play Store app submission request rejected appeared first on Coywolf Today.
13.2.2024 15:07First Google Play Store app submission request rejectedI created Coywolf Contact because I wanted a better contact manager. And because I was using and testing it with my real contacts, all of my product screenshots had the headshots of real people. While I’m sure I could have continued using them in my screenshots, it didn’t feel right to me to do that, […]

13.2.2024 02:19Generating fake headshots with AI for marketing collateral and the concerns that go with itNow that Coywolf Contact is stable and the contact-sharing feature is complete, I’m trying to get the progressive web app (PWA) into the Google Play Store. I used the PWA Builder to build the necessary files and followed its instructions for submission to the store. The app is currently under review, but if it’s anything […]
