The Graveyard. 🪦
(Coming soon) Not every idea makes it to production. Here lies a collection of projects I started, abandoned, or retired. Every failure is a lesson!
Crypto Tracker V1
Lived: Jan 2021 - Feb 2021
Cause of Death: Burnout and lack of novel features compared to existing solutions.
Lesson Learned: Validate the market need before spending 3 weeks optimizing a database.
Social Media for Plants
Lived: May 2023 - May 2023
Cause of Death: Built on a weekend hackathon. Turns out, plants do not actually have smartphones.
Lesson Learned: React Native is surprisingly easy to pick up, and plants need water, not likes.
Overengineered To-Do List
Lived: Oct 2024 - Dec 2024
Cause of Death: Tried to implement a microservices architecture for a simple CRUD app.
Lesson Learned: Keep it simple, stupid (KISS principle). Sometimes a monolith is perfectly fine.
