I launched 17 side projects. Result? I'm rich in expired domains

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.

Any other serial side-projectors here? Share your greatest fails/unlikely successes

I'm excited t
