Tech scene is very unstable right now. It's unfortunate that you got laid off.
This seems like a great project. I have had a few days of intense wrist pain with apple mouse and keyboard.
I have started using an ergonomic keyboard from Microsoft. It has helped a lot.
Looking forward to your kickstarter.
I started by making a simple timeline style logging / journaling app for personal use couple of years ago.
I shared it on Reddit and got great feedback. The app has completely changed since then and now it's a task management and organizer tool.
The app has premium add-ons where you can buy add-ons separately. It was getting complicated to manage it and the only scope to get more revenue was to add new features.
I moved the app to subscription based in May this year and it's been going great.
The app has $2.5K MRR and the only costs that I have is domain, server and Google Ads.
I just started my first job and I had applied for a role of android developer. The first I was told that I had to work on PHP. I'm currently working with PHP and Symfony 2. I have to create a campaign manager and make it compatible with the existing backend stack. I have just started to learn PHP and I don't think I have the patience to go through with it. Advice appreciated.
