I've worked on my "side" projects while doing client work for pretty much the last 5 years :)
Let me tell you what you don't want to do... keep doing client work, keep doing your side project and ignore the fact that really you're not putting enough time into your side project and what you're actually doing is wasting time - the worst crime of all.
But even before you consider this, how strong is your idea? I'll assume that even before you put pen to paper you've spoken / reached out to people who would use this, what did they say? Can you deliver something minimal to them (while doing client work) and get some reaction?
- jamesjguthrie 14y agoI have spoken to people that really like the idea. It came from discussions a few months ago I had with a potential client. He would be a potential user, he had the initial idea for it and I've completely revamped it and developed it further. I'd have built it for him but he was unwilling to pay the development costs. I also used it as the basis of my application to the Startup Games event in London at the end of the month; and got accepted. So I think it is strong.
