Side projects

April 02, 2023

Last updated: Dec 02, 2023

I have built a lot of side projects in the past, mostly through hackathons. The problem with them is that they are class projects, meaning they solve fake problems, may win hackathons but are not really useful in real life. It was all about implementation.

I want to build useful things that people actually care about. I have already started doing this with Feedwise, and now that I have been accepted into Nights & Weekends S3, I want to build on this momentum by continuing to build actually useful things. I would have done this regardless, but having a community and actual deadline is nice. Getting accepted doesn't really mean anything, but actually building something and sticking to the end does.

I am keeping this post open and upto date as a way to track all my experiments and whatever happens with them.
