This is alot like my own situation. I quit my job last year due to stress issues with coworkers, and I spent most of the last year writing an iOS app just so I could put something more modern on my resume. Mid project, the iPad came out and I felt I could take a moon shot into actually making a small amount of money at it by retooling to better fit the new platform. Unfortunatly, my solo work took too long and I missed a couple of market windows. And I needed to cut so much functionality in order to simply “ship” that I might not have made a “minimum viable product” any more. Finally, my ad campaign and press releases haven’t got much traction.
I had a cushion to live of off for the last year, so I’m not yet at the breaking point. I’m thinking about writing a postmortem and posting it here at HN after I decide if my project is worth salvaging.
