Hi all! I just wanted to share a quick post about something that made me really happy.
I've been procrastinating launching my projects for so long. I always had the feeling that I needed to improve this or that — and that mindset just ended up exhausting me and stopping me from actually launching anything.
But recently, I decided to finally go for it. I built something to scratch my own itch, and it turned into a pretty cool project that I really enjoy working on. Honestly, it’s energizing to see your project out there. Even if it’s not perfect and you feel like things might break, it's so nice when people actually use it or find it interesting.
One thing that helped a lot was being super strict with the number of features and how I built it. I used to overengineer everything and prep for scale — even though none of my projects ever needed to scale (funny, right?). What worked for me this time was cutting down to the absolute essentials.
I’m using Vercel, Supabase, and I self-host a small server for a few APIs — but nothing fancy. Now I’m in the phase of showing the project around and seeing if anything sticks. I don’t have much experience with this part, so if you have any feedback, that would be amazing.
The project I’m talking about is: https://formly.es
