I have resources, but not as much to do this without any income.
It's hard to make an assessment on the bugs without knowing the project, but I can guarantee you that many (majority of) devs are not cut to finish projects, regardless of payment. If they spent one year and can't get a good-enough product out, where most users can use in inspite of the minor bugs left, money wasn't the issue.
I have good examples to support my point but I don’t want to single them out. Respect your opinion 🙇♂️
Interesting. I am glad I am not in any review committee :)
I agree with nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z in a painful way. My previous project Blowater was a failed attempt.
It’s not a time or funding problem. But a skill problem. But not just normal skill problems like programming or designing.
They were about meta skills such as “how to ship a product” and “how to plan a strategy”
Most indie devs were like me who only had worked as a specialist.
The meta skill can only be learned by doing the thing for a long time. Maybe it’s just hard in general for novices to achieve things independently.
If you had to start a new one what would you do differently this time?
There are many things. Start with:
Design the thing first instead of hacking right away
By designing, I mean both graphical design and software design.
Implementation is the easy part. Code is just an artifact. Don’t measure the progress by the size of code. Measure by user activities.
