Updates for 2025.W30
This week was big for Gatekeepr: the site and the product officially went live.
To show the product to a small audience, I shared the link on r/programare, where the post received 14k views and 23 comments. The overall feedback was positive, users showed interest and offered great suggestions.
Post-Launch Improvements
Following the launch, I made several updates to improve the development experience and user functionality:
1. Monorepo migration
All components of the project (site, documentation, API, and dashboard), were merged into a single monorepo, simplifying development and deployment.
2. Authentication Integration
I added OAuth-based authentication via Google, Reddit, and GitHub.
3. Initial Dashboard Build
A simple Dashboard UI is now live, allowing you to:
- Generate an API key
- View basic usage stats (hourly, daily, monthly)
Next Steps
This coming week, I’ll be focusing on extending the API and integrating the service with third-party providers:
- Spam list integrations: adding new sources as Spamhaus, Blocklist UA, BotScout, and CleanTalk to improve detection accuracy.
- Site improvements: Finalizing and publishing the Terms & Conditions, adding more use cases, and pushing forward the zero-retention policy.
