Working in TuxSEO (https://tuxseo.com/). The product is good, but no paying customers. I'm working on setting up a cold email campaign to hopefully diversify my outreach.

So in other words, since I'm an introvert developer, i'm trying to grow some balls to start reaching out to people.

Working on generation reliability for TuxSEO. The product is good, but needs to be more reliable. Once that is done, I will move onto the link exchange program. https://tuxseo.com/
