    Just got off a really productive 1:1 call with a new Siren Affiliates customer. I showed them how to set up their programs in the way they want, and walked through how payouts works.

    And as it happens, they were using Groundhogg. 🤔

    I really do love Ayria’s music. Apparently I’m one of her top fans 🙈

    Today:

    • Finished Gravity Forms integration 🎉🎉🎉
    • Finished 12 new feature pages on Siren’s website
    • revamp the header menu

    Tomorrow is going to be back to doing some client work, but I’m thinking I’ll be able to work on more pages for Siren’s site too.

    Another feature coming to the Gravity Forms/Siren Affiliates integration – assigning an affiliate to a form. When that form is submitted, that affiliate can be configured to always get credit.

    Great for building lead pages and forms dedicated to specific salespeople.

    The next version of Siren will support Gravity Forms!

    • Credit affiliates on Gravity Forms sales
    • Pay per lead from Gravity Forms submissions
    • Build collaborator sign-up flows in Gravity Forms
    • Use Siren data in Gravity Forms notifications & automations

    Using Ollie’s menu designer for the feature submenu on Siren. Not live yet, but this is going to really help clarify Siren’s feature set. I’m having so much fun with this site!

    My toxic trait is spending my time changing my IDE’s color schemes 😅.

    Well, that was neat. I have a ClickUp integration that I use for an internal task system at Novatorius, but wanted something similar for Trello.

    Claude Code just churned it out flawlessly, given the ClickUp example.

    Just spent about 5 hours doing discovery work on everything I want to implement in my upcoming Gravity Forms integration with Siren.

    That seems like a lot of time spent not coding, and even though I know better, I was so tempted to just skip this part and get right to coding. I’m really excited to finally break ground on forms plugins because there’s SO much Siren can do with them, so the urge to “get started” was really strong.

    And WOW I’m glad I didn’t make that mistake. As I started researching, peeling back layers, and noting my findings, I discovered so many things that I had not considered in my initial conceptualization of this integration.

    I would have definitely used up more than 5 hours doing rework, or worse yet, I would have written up a bunch of technical debt that would have slowed me down for more integrations in the future.

    This just re-affirms my belief that the best place to start a project is a good ol’ fashioned Google Doc, NOT your code editor.
