Context: I quit my job in June 2016 to take a break from my career and among other things, build a product end to end. Money has run out now but passion hasn't and I'm close to first launch. I'm in Bangalore so I'm able to keep burn rate below $400/month.

Advice: I'd say go with the tech you know(exceptions only apply if your core differentiator is technological superiority, but that's rare). You'll have full days to yourself, so separate work time from leisure time, do physical exercise, be in touch with friends, don't reveal your plans/progress to many people, involve target users as soon as possible(most important). Lastly, enjoy the ride!
