Show HN: Projects in 25 Weeks Challenge
I ran an experiement the past ~6 months. I challenged myself to build and ship 25 projects in 25 weeks.
I just launched my 25th project, which is a simple site to encourage others to do their own 25-week challenges.
I aimed for the Moon and my goals were:
- Grow my newsletter to 10k subscribers
- Get 10 million unique page views across all 25 projects
- Make at least $2k a month after the challenge
What were the results?
- ~550,000 unique page views
- ~1,000 subscribers to the newsletter
- I've only made a whopping ~$1,1000 total (ooof)
- A lot of press for my big project channelsurfer.tv
- I guess I'm kind of slightly more known as a guy who creates weird stuff
Overall, it was a lot of hard work but also a lot of fun. I'm a senior engineer already, but I learned more this past 6 months than probably the last 3 years on the job.
