The only idea that is holding me back is that my idea will fail and no matter how better it is people will never use it. So my whole effort will go in vein. Because according to some people I asked no matter how better it will be people will never use it because they are so attached to the older ones
- kowdermeister 11y agoThis seems to disagree with you just wrote originally: > Never think it will be anything big but just wanted to start it. Don't care about failure. Do it for fun and for the sake of learning. Release often and ask feedback, you have nothing to lose with a side project. Your living is not determined by it so if you wanted to you could start in an hour. > people will never use it because they are so attached to the older ones I'm not sure what you are planning, but ignore the naysayers, just build something, show it to people, and iterate. You are not limited by investors, coworkers or anybody. If it's a side project, just do it. Maybe it will land you a better job paying 2x. You can never know if you don't try.
- rukshn 11y agoYah I know but just that I have not started something for myself makes me always think backwards. I've mostly developed stuff for other people
- kowdermeister 11y agoThen start small. Scale back your idea, pick a weekend project that you can finish in 48 hours. Make it open source, put it on GitHub. You will see the gratification when people will interact with it. After this you can go a little higher, more ambitious ideas.
