I'm a senior software dev and in my spare time I write small apps and libs that nobody uses.
I released TwoFold.js (2βœ‚οΈŽf) stable and I wrote this article about it:
crlf.site/log/articles/191121-
I took me almost 2 months to write, because english is much harder than code πŸ˜“

tl;dr;TwoFold is an app that makes plain text files behave like dynamic files. Use-cases include: auto updating documentation, text based dashboards, text virtual assistants, text spreadsheets, turn based games, etc.

It took me around 2 years to bring TwoFold to a more or less stable app.
And.. I'm trying to understand WHY it takes me sooo so long to finish stuff.
I have no idea, but I have a few intuitions:
* I'm defocused, because I have many other things to do in my spare time
* I'm demoralized, because I'm mostly alone in all my projects
* I'm tired, because I can work mostly after 10PM when my family goes to sleep

I'm really glad that I launched this, though 😁

The testing suite is pretty huge, especially in the lexer/ parser, I really wanted to make it stable.

Similar situation here, I feel you :)

@f3r Cheers!
Hey I guess you should also pin a project on your profile, if you want people to know what you're working on.
You're into Ruby? It's a really elegant language!
