To future me: build proper notification systems to alert myself when users give feedback.
Last night I found out that a week ago my app actually attracted an organic user!
They subscribed, left feedback/questions about a feature, then cancelled.
Since I caught the feedback so late, I refunded them and wrote in an email to apologise.
244 days ago, I quit my full time job to travel, search for meaning, and take more risks in life. Fast forward to today, I have, among other things:
π Traversed the plains of Mongolia, staying with nomadic families and riding horseback through the taiga.
π Survived a very bad case of food poisoning in Yunnan, China (be careful with the mushroom hotpot)
π’ Incorporated a company to house my various projects and ideas
π―οΈ Built and launched https://t.co/pWCAh8s8oc, my first go at an online memorial app (I learned so much about the end-to-end development flow, VPS hosting, etc).
I have absolutely no regrets leaving my old job, and although there's a lot of uncertainty to get through, I wouldn't have it any other way. More exciting things await me in the future and I'm all here for it!
