I posted last year and reached #1 for a bit. The initial flood of users left, but my MAU is climbing bit by bit again after investing into SEO.

Profitable? Yes (as in making more than spending on it), but nowhere near enough to work on it full time. Successful? I think so? My first breakthrough project!

New connections? Yes, I got reached out to by some companies and individuals and had and still have conversations about it with folks interested in the tech. Also made me invest more into learning B2B after initially building the product as B2C.

Didn’t help with my career per se but opened a lot of doors in case something doesn’t work out with my current career.

Definitely a huge spike that I haven’t hit again. But the project isn’t dead.
