Thanks for the story, I read it with great interest because I can really relate (like many around these parts I'm sure).

I'm glad to see that you found the energy to see your project through until the end, even if it didn't work out eventually. It probably cost you quite a bit, but that's the name of the game. You can't know until you try (well that's what I keep telling myself these days).

You're right that the combination of friends and work especially is a delicate one, something that I did not foresee either (working on my first big project).

Also I agree with your advice, about needing co-founders that are as engaged as you are. However this is a very hard thing to achieve. Not everyone is as crazy as we are. And communicating a vision is a very hard thing to do as well.

Although it might not seem so for someone with not much prior experience with coding, the simplest thing to do is still to have a go at it alone, at least in a first stage. It's probably easier and less risky than managing a team to execute your crazy idea for you.

Anyway, don't leave us hanging! What is the url of your website?

The url is http://localhost/ :-)

No seriously, since there was no income model, and I was generally quite fed up and didn't see a future of the project I didn't see any value in leaving it up.
