    tl;dr:

    Started from nothing using personal "loan" off credit cards
    Built app, promoted with Fb ads
    Fb ads led to viral news
    platform crashed
    didnt give up - kept delivering
    it got to the point it wasnt worth it money wise
    got inspired started experimenting more after reading the lean startup book
    business was floating, founder lost interest
    shut down but learn a good lesson
    end

    Great read! Thanks for sharing!
