I let an AI bot watch my six zero-revenue side projects, now it's filing tickets
jacob-indie · reddit · 2026-10-01
An indie dev started using Dots as a DevOps and analytics bot to monitor self-hosted glitchtip (a Sentry alternative), Hetzner servers, self-hosted Plausible analytics, Google Search Console, logs, and a self-hosted Forgejo git — all for 6 apps with a combined 100 daily active visitors and zero revenue.
The bot then came back with great suggestions like setting analytics goals and fixing small bugs, which is "starting to look like work really." The author is considering moving back to Jev: ask "is it broken, yes/no" and ignore the answer otherwise. They ask the community for similar Dots success stories.
