Celebrating 100 Knack Videos
Reflecting on Milestones
As I sit down to mark my 100th Knack database video on YouTube, I'm filled with a mix of nostalgia and excitement. This journey began a few years ago, and hitting triple digits feels like a significant achievement. Currently standing at 99 videos, this piece right here marks the big 100, perfectly timed for the last working day of the year.
Behind the Scenes: Managing a Growing Channel
Let me give you a snapshot of where we stand. So far, my channel has garnered a total of 25,000 views, with an impressive 1.4 thousand hours of watch time and a dedicated community of 367 subscribers. How did I manage to keep the momentum going? Well, it's all about staying organized. I maintain a long list of potential topics, jotting down ideas as they come to me. Whenever I find myself with spare time, I dive into that list and bring another video to life.
Lessons Learned: Always Room for Growth
Now, here's the kicker. Despite nearly a decade of experience in the game, I'll be the first to admit that I don't have all the answers. Just the other day, I stumbled upon something that left me scratching my head – logged in users filtering in a Knack database. How did I miss this? Stick around, and I'll fill you in on the juicy details.
Unlocking New Discoveries: The Logged-in User Conundrum
Alright, folks, let's dive into the nitty-gritty. Picture this: I'm knee-deep in the backend of an app for a real estate brokerage firm based in Germany. This app is the real deal, tracking everything from sales to agent commissions with precision. Now, here's where things get interesting.
On the surface, everything seemed straightforward. Agents log in, they see their sales, their commissions – business as usual. But then, the client drops a bombshell: "Can we restrict agents to only seeing their own commissions?" Suddenly, my straightforward task took a sharp turn.
Cracking the Code: A Eureka Moment
After some trial and error, I found myself at a loss. That's when I decided to reach out to Knack's support team. And let me tell you, their response time was impressive – just 26 minutes later, I had my answer.
It turns out, the solution was right under my nose. With a simple filter adjustment, I could tailor the app to display only the relevant data for logged-in users. Who knew it could be that easy?
Gratitude: Embracing Continuous Learning
As I wrap up this milestone video, I can't help but marvel at the journey so far. Discovering something new, even after years in the field, is a humbling experience. And while this particular revelation might not be groundbreaking, it serves as a reminder – there's always more to learn.
So, here's to another year of growth, discovery, and, of course, plenty more Knack videos to come. Happy New Year, and thank you for being part of this incredible journey with me.
