First, I started this project to learn a programming language four years ago. But over time came up with so many new ideas that I figured I should create a real open-source project, which could be useful to others. So after constant rewriting in different programming languages, refactoring, and procrastination, I released an MVP 3 months ago and only showed it to my colleagues and some other people. I guess I expected a different reaction, as in my head, the project was so awesome (only that it's MVP and not finished yet) - I was disappointed. For the same reason, I was afraid to go public, so I spent a few more months fixing issues I didn't like, and yesterday released v0.2.0.

Today I turned 24, and I am going public, and honestly, I don't care anymore if people are going to like the project or not. The important part is that I find it useful and will keep working to keep it that way. Over time I learned quite some skills, not only technical ones but some soft ones as well, such as dedication, discipline, and planning. And at the very end, an important lesson - If I want to validate an idea and get feedback, I must not keep it private, and certainly not for four years.
