Saved up, quit my job and went all in...on a todo app. Needless to say that idea didn't go far, but it taught me how to code.
When I was close to broke I pivoted to this product and finally gained traction and now it's doing well enough to be my main source of income.
I'm kind of following the "1000 true fans" ethos that pops up here occasionally. There's a dedicated group of customers who benefit from the ease and speed of the tool and they're like my product team.
I check in with them often, make sure they're happy and build features for them. Turns out, what they value other people value too, and so the product slowly but surely grows.
Learning to code was definitely one of the best decisions I've made. Felt like gaining wings.
