If you put more than an hour a month into it, then yeah, it probably is. Your time could probably be better spend elsewhere.
Of course, that assumes the main goal of the app was to earn money. The knowledge gained from creating it could very well be worth it.
- larrik 15y agoAn hour seems too low. I'd say more like 4 hours at least, more if you are taking time that would normally be wasted anyway. Otherwise, I agree with the rest of your comment.
- wccrawford 15y agoYeah, opportunity cost is really hard to measure. But I think if someone is industrious enough to support that project for an hour a month, they are industrious enough to use that hour some other profitable way, though. It's unlikely they would just sit on their thumbs and wish they had something to do.
