My Startups TL;DR, Failed, building again and again and ...

I started shopypall.com to enable true 5 minutes online store creation where you will never have to edit pictures of products, details or size/dimension of products. It will already be done for you, I meant the backend process will take care of it. You just select the product and we promise nothing more. Your website will be live. Just fill out a form and our app takes the details and updates the website with your name/logo/address etc..

The bad part, I never was able to complete it. www.shopypall.com still sits there. Maybe some day I can finally touch this again. Not sure though. Trying to sell it if someone can wants to take it further.

And then the list continues, tried shufflers.io (couldn't even complete the front end), then www.dotted.ai (novel idea but tech dev abruptly left), then came www.snapzap.io (based on live shopping in the store) and so on..

I lost major time and money in all of these. The problem I think started as I believe I used the word STARTUP. I think that is where I went wrong. An idea is not a startup (rather it's a team that can push a company that just started up). I vaguely knew the product and trying to perfect it before launch. Never happened and because of fixing smaller issues, adding new features core features left behind even though the core features were the 1st stared.

I have slowed down my pace and now earning APIs/AI/ML and what to do with them. Have recently started getting interested in Social Media ad trying to figure out applications that can help content creator either increase revenue 10x or reduce the video making/editing time 10x. This time I am not treating it as startup but just micro SaaS unless it shows growth.

I am proud even though previously things didn't work out as planned. I have a full time job and less time to work on side projects. Hope to learn something again if things don't work out again and until it works out I will keep trying.
