@frankeno How was your experience with Envato? I had a WordPress theme there with my ex-company, it was really hard to get it.
@denic Initially it was great, I'm talking about a few years ago though, and I was selling tons of iOS and Android templates.
Now sales got really down and I don't know why, still have to figure it out.
Anyway WordPress themes are still the main sold products on that marketplace, why was it hard to sell it?
@frankeno It wasn't hard to sell it. But, to get it listed in the first place. We had several rounds of feedback before we got in.
@denic Oh I just felt pretty overwhelmed when I planned parties, and events, so I thought why not integrate it with an app that we are already familiar with!
@aureliovolle This is such a good idea. As someone who is doing this stuff manually, I know how much efforts this take. How did you get the idea?
I just launched my first product on PH today! Please check it out -> https://play.google.com/store/ap...

omg, you just made me google my first product from 1994 and someone made a youtube of it! I haven't thought of it for years!
Story time:
In my 3rd year university I got my first PC: 40MB hard drive, DOS 5.0. Sweet as candy! Of course I immediately installed a pirated copy of Windows 3.0 but it was giving me trouble when I tried to run DOS games so I uninstalled it. My girlfriend said, "but now I can't play solitaire." I told her: "I will make you solitare!" and that is how I started my programming career.
I bought a copy of Turbo C++ and mostly coded it in C, because I was having trouble really understanding OOP, eventually I got better at it, and those blue buttons in the video are the very first class objects I ever made. Hooray! Those playing cards are original designs that you can still see in my all games and animations today. To draw those cards I also wrote a DOS based visual paint program just so I could draw them.
After it was done, a friend referred me to a company that sells games in stores so I got 40,000 into walmarts/k-marts etc before that distributor went bust. But it did pay my rent for a year when I was in Uni.
Heheh. I'm so happy. Thanks for getting me to look this up and remember all this.
