There was this technical issue I kept pushing aside.. because I didn’t know how to solve it. One quick chat with GPT, a few minutes of tinkering, and it finally worked!

We ran into a weird issue with our domain provider.. adding a subdomain DNS record kept throwing HTTP security errors. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. Not ideal, especially since we needed a clean, memorable link to redirect users to our community (the existing URL felt too long).

After some back and forth troubleshooting, I asked ChatGPT for help - and found a simple workaround using Vercel.

✅ Created a new project on Vercel ✅ Added a basic HTML file with the redirect code ChatGPT suggested ✅ Deployed the project ✅ Pointed our subdomain to it

And just like that, it worked perfectly! Tech doesn’t always go to plan, but solving it like this feels like a small win 🏆
