I think I'm officially a side project collector.
I've had it all:
A SaaS for freelancers... that I never had time to finish because I'm a freelancer.
A revolutionary AI tool that I abandoned as soon as GPT-4 came out.
And the famous "anti-social media social network" (spoiler: it was just me).
I buy a domain name → I code for 3 all-nighters → I lose interest → I start again.
My Google Domains look like a graveyard of unfinished dreams.
But honestly, I've never learned so much, nor enjoyed it so much.
And one day, I might release one that takes off. Or not. But I'll be ready.
