I feel your pain. I also have a wife and two kids and have been through this. With poor web dev skills going into it, I tried to build a doctor appointment booking marketplace. I eventually got my MVP done, but the practice I trialled it at didn’t really buy into it and I didn’t have the time to spend with them to get them up and running properly. Plus, there were some intermittent sync issues with their system. Meanwhile, Healthengine pivoted into the space and took off. By the end of it, I was a much better web dev and I’m doing quite well in the contracting market in Sydney. I’m still tinkering with side projects, but deliberatley avoiding unrealistic ones. Trying to bootstrap a startup when you’re supporting a whole family and you’re one or two paydays away from financial destruction is virtually impossible.
