Interesting! Any key learnings from any of these side projects?
Amine Aouragh
@aaronoleary The common key learnings from all those were: - Building in public is very important - Seeking feedback is very important - What you believe would be useful VS what is actually useful can be very different - You'll go much further with a project that you built around a passion and an obsession you have

One of the most difficult feelings is shut down a project that you have a lot of hope on it, but each end is a new beginning for a new project 💪🏼
Amine Aouragh
@luisgustavo Very true Luis! Thanks for sharing.

I love these types of lists. When it came to mobile apps, what was the longest project in terms of time-sunk into it before you launched?
Amine Aouragh
@carter_barnett Unfortunately I didn't launch any of those mobile apps. The one that I spent more time building was BloomCall - the texting & phone call app. RunRun had so much potential but I was spending more time planning and thinking and prototyping rather than building

Wondering how you made these much products in this span of time.

Did you build any of these in public?
Amine Aouragh
@alwaysbelearnin Yes. Movydick is still built in public since Feb 2022 until today. Youtalgo too but it's paused now.

I used to do the same, it feels depressing when no one appreciates your efforts. But now I have started to actually market for my products.
