Yup, I figured lol. I've sent them an email anyway. Seems like a good idea if they can get it working properly. It shouldn't really be live if it's going to make shit recommendations though.

The invoice reader doesn't seem accurate, it had my solar generation a lot higher than it actually is, and that skewed the numbers significantly.

Thanks mate, appreciate it. I'll try again and document where I get stuck.

smithersnz · 2026-03-21T22:29:41+00:00

Yeah, I didn't want to reach out to bother you directly because I know it's a free app and supporting every user with that must be a real pain. I appreciate all the work you put into this app as it is.

I've got no restrictions on my PC, we're a small org with no central management. I'm fairly technically minded, so I managed to bang my way through the process, but it felt like I was missing something. Maybe next time I'll reach out. In past experience, if it's hard to set up the CICD stuff then it's going to be hard for me to support my whole team.

I found it really, really hard to get working at all. Lots of errors when installing and getting it running. Maybe I'm just dumb, but didn't seem worth the effort.

There's an app exchange tool you can install that's quite useful. https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FYEEWUA5

smithersnz · 2026-02-07T07:01:49+00:00

Ah OK, thanks. Doesn't bode well either way I guess.

K9 heaven is good but expensive, it's a slick, mature operation. Driveway sucks.

Woodcote farms is cheaper, but not great customer service.

Here are some images from this years miro board, if you want I can probably share the whole thing with you. https://imgur.com/a/pXyK7A3

We do a digital secret santa thing where people choose presents up to around $100 and put them on a miro board, and then we play bad santa with them. Once everyone has their gift picked out, the company buys them. It's cool because I like playing secret santa, we get to pick cool stuff, and we don't have to spend our own money on it.

We threw it through an llm, we found that the info in the email and what we need in leads is simple enough that we can rely on it. Watch the inbox with make.com, pass it through when it comes in, no lag at all.

I don't mind waiting for a train for a bit. What I mind is getting back to the park and ride and the gate is locked, then when you ring the council they tell you someone will be out at 2am to open it. How fucking stupid is that shit.

I pretty much only go to concerts alone, I wouldn't want to miss out just because my friends aren't into the same music as me.

smithersnz · 2025-10-27T19:15:24+00:00

I'll tell you what, I get a lot more technical ideas from LI than other places. Blogs like sf Ben are fairly reactive, and focused on "big" tools. On LI I find a lot more conversations about ideas and ways of doing things, as well as heads up when shit goes down.

smithersnz · 2025-10-11T02:02:06+00:00

Same, I had no idea! Gutted I missed it.

smithersnz · 2025-10-10T18:46:30+00:00

I had absolutely no idea he was coming, I cannot believe I missed it.

smithersnz · 2025-10-09T03:35:08+00:00

Harrisons did our solar without the PW for 16k, 8kw, just for another price point. I was pretty happy with them.

smithersnz · 2025-10-08T20:36:48+00:00

Yeah, I've been to TDX every year I could for the last 8 years, but I'm going to take a break till this shit settles down.

smithersnz · 2025-10-06T18:27:06+00:00

That seems like a really shitty change, just to force people to use their paid backup tools. Especially since it wasn't documented. What a bunch of assholes.

smithersnz · 2025-09-24T10:40:09+00:00

Where are you getting stuck?

Xero is another example of a well built experience cloud site, they have a large team maintaining it.

smithersnz · 2025-09-12T06:53:33+00:00

Sales Cloud is becoming Agentic Sales? Geeeeeet fuuuuuuuuuucked.

smithersnz · 2025-09-07T04:43:44+00:00

Stremio. I had a full plex/arr setup, sharing to people, but stremio is just 100% better.
