We've been building Dots, a macOS app that turns the notch into a customizable workspace.

And honestly, building the app has been the fun part haha.

We've spent countless hours working on features, fixing bugs, and improving the experience. But once we started putting Dots out there, we realized something.

Many brands measure AI search visibility by running a predefined list of prompts and counting how frequently they appear in the answers.

For example, a SaaS company might track prompts such as "best CRM software," "top CRM platforms," and "CRM tools for sales teams."

The hardest thing to get right was getting people successfully through sign-up.

Initially I started with one time links, had a few successful sign ups and inbetween them would be a couple 'unauthenticated' emails. I would reach out via email to try find out why they didn't complete the process, but get no response. I eventually found out that some email providers burn the one time link when they scan the email.
