How do you stay motivated to continue working on this alone for such a long time?

Thanks for the question. It is the biggest problem ever. I wanted to stop a million times. A super hard problem to solve and super taugh to get motivation to move forward.

There are few quotes which helps me in bad days: "I choose whether I will succeed or not.»

Care to share other similar quotes? I've been working on a passion project for a few months and I definitely have my downs in terms of motivation.
- "Defeat is a temporary thing."

- "Nothing could stop him."

- "One of the most common reasons for failure is the tendency to quit the game, faced with temporary defeats, and immediately give up."

- "Despite any difficulties, we must continue the work we have started"

All about the same :)

I’m a fan of this one:

  Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.
  
  Earl Nightingale
Wow, love it! Thanks.
I use this quote as inspiration (don't remember where I adapted it from):

>Doing is often better than thinking of doing

You charge money and it becomes your livelihood. No obvious pricing page, but uBlock Origin detects Stripe scripts
Right, it is not fully free. And it makes sense, right?
