I just Published the Longest Article in the History of Medium

The title says it all and its a 52 min long read.

A few months back, I released a social network, after 4 years of a solo-development. Now I'm back to tell my story, so I wrote down everything that happened during those 4 years, including what I worked on and how.

I hope this article will serve those who are struggling with their side-projects and are looking for some motivation. Its not easy to keep going when you don't see the end in sight, but I guarantee you that if you just keep going, the end of the road is there waiting for you! 😉
