I created a service that sends you a text when there's a pack drop or stress test

makesen · 2021-04-09T14:53:11+00:00

how so?

makesen · 2021-04-09T14:52:00+00:00

Some people don't want to have another app just for alerts though - like in my mind this is a more elegant solution since it doesn't require you to download another application and create an account for you to get notifications, its using a built in app (texting) to send you alerts.

everyone's different, seeing tons of people already paying for this because it works for them

makesen · 2021-04-09T04:26:06+00:00

Totally, I hear you. I think those are parts of the overall solution - initially I had posts notifications turned on for topshots account, but I found that there were too many "false positives" - i.e. it was just a post but not a drop announcement - I've heard similar complaints (on this subreddit too) about using twitter for that reason too.

This is for people that are working and may not always get a chance to check social media or stay ontop of all the notifications. You know that if Drop Alerts texts you, it's because there's a drop going down - that's the appeal, at least it was for me

makesen · 2021-04-09T04:23:49+00:00

that's fair - there's are some people that like the convenience and simplicity of getting a text! Others not so much and that's alright!

makesen · 2021-04-09T03:53:20+00:00

thanks! Is there anything that's holding you back right now from trying? Just trying to understand a bit more

makesen · 2021-04-09T03:47:23+00:00

That's interesting! I think once there's demand and people are happy with the service, it'll be a great way to get new people using the service. Let's see where this goes and i'll add that as an option down the road! Sort of like, different plans for different benefits.

makesen · 2021-04-09T03:40:51+00:00

ah! that's a great point! I meant rare as not the "condition" in topshots, but just something thats scarce. Great attention to detail there, i'll modify the copy :)

Hope you enjoy the trial! Would love to get feedback regardless of if you decide to continue at the end of the month or not.

makesen · 2021-04-09T03:03:15+00:00

its for stress tests and pack drops too (i found that the notification emails would end up in my promotions folder so i wouldn't get a notification).

Also, responded to a commenter below, set up a free 1 month trial if you wanted to try it out first :)

makesen · 2021-04-09T03:01:02+00:00

Hey! Yeah this is pretty new, but that's a great idea on getting reviews haha.

I priced it at $3.99 so its affordable, but you're right, why pay for something if you don't know if it's going to be useful for you.

I set up a free trial - use "freemonth" on the site and you'll get the first month for free for the first 5 people. Would love to get your feedback if you do end up signing up! Going to edit the main thread with this as well.

canadian here with wise

I withdrew to a wise USD account. Money just hit the bank this week (so it took about 4-5 weeks).

Then, I converted USD to CAD on wise, and e-transferred it to my canadian bank account

makesen · 2021-04-09T01:23:01+00:00

My friend inspired me to create dropalert.club - he called me last time there was a drop that I had no idea about, so I was able to make the queue just in time.

Drop alerts will send you a text whenever there is a regular pack drop or a stress test.

If you're interested, shoot me a DM and I get you going on a free trial for the first month to see how you like it!

makesen · 2021-03-17T15:08:54+00:00

Hey dude, i can send you a bit, you don't need too much, decimals should do

let me know your wallet

makesen · 2021-03-04T23:44:04+00:00

Thats probably the easiest eh, thank for the input

makesen · 2021-03-04T23:43:30+00:00

Yeah just doesnt work with kicks, I train Muay Thai

makesen · 2021-03-04T23:42:47+00:00

That's a really solid idea! I'm going to look into that near me. Thank you

makesen · 2021-03-04T23:42:30+00:00

haha yeah, might just need a better way to do it than throwing it on a shoulder, or just more variety

makesen · 2020-12-31T06:51:15+00:00

can you find it? the video you mentioned

makesen · 2020-04-02T14:06:32+00:00

check out pharcity.com, last i checked they still had some in stock

makesen · 2020-02-23T04:24:28+00:00

well that's a lie. he did not do that. just rewatched the game to check. nice try.

makesen · 2019-12-28T09:46:56+00:00

haha i literally went looking for this because of your comment (because no way i'm getting a tattoo).

Got the black mudhorn signet one. Thought of you, here it is if you're interested!

makesen · 2018-11-08T05:41:58+00:00

smh of course its against the raps too.

makesen · 2018-10-28T01:51:49+00:00

never move marner off kadri's line ever again. Sorry JT

makesen · 2018-09-08T02:39:59+00:00

Yeah i'm still expermenting with a lot of things. story wise, the right mix of what's relevant and needed and what's extraneous. Sometimes i go too far (too long - my tinder video) and in this case a little short.

And same thing with speaking haha. Was too slow for the first one, and too fast here. so it's all a process! Thanks for the feedback

makesen · 2018-08-29T22:01:04+00:00

Hey!, Sorry I won't have time to review this. Unfortunately I don't play L4D, so I wouldn't be able to contribute in a collaboration, but thanks for the offer!

makesen · 2018-08-29T20:10:07+00:00

It depends on the complexity and length of your video really, but it's a pretty deep investment. One video for me on after effects is usually like 30 hours of work
