It's hard to give suggestions on your next steps without knowing:

* where you are

* what you want to accomplish

For instance, if you wanted to be a bootstrapped indie hacker, then maybe this is a product to start marketing and selling.

If, on the other hand, you want to be a FAANG engineer, then you might want to keep using this yourself, but do nothing else with it.

Or, if you wanted a job at a normal software product company, you could open source this and use the lessons you learned building it as material for interviews and proof you can do the job of a software engineer plus other aspects.

I’m based in Canada and have no ambition to join a FAANG company. Listing it on my résumé would definitely boost my profile, especially for startups. I’m still figuring things out, but I envision creating a product that would allow me to work internationally, potentially opening the path to becoming a digital nomad.

However, I realized I might already be doing it wrong — as the old saying goes, “build and validate early.” I wonder how might one navigate this scenario?
