Private tools and SDKs.
Developing tools for internal use only or creating private Swift packages sometimes feels like a waste of time. However, they both payout in the long run.
As Paco said:
"It's like a snowball effect after a while."
My latest addition to internal tooling can be found
here. Whenever I curate an article for this newsletter, I can send a JSON payload to a Zapier webhook. The webhook connects to a CoSchedule action, creating a social message for Twitter and LinkedIn. Each message will be posted at the best time based on my activity on the platform.
This automation might look like a lot of work to set up, but it isn't. Many services allow integrations, making it possible to level up your impact. I can now promote curated articles automatically, helping those authors while gaining extra reach.
This newsletter took longer to curate since I had to build and test the new tool, but it will payout in the long term.
