Got my first paying customer

We received a down payment from our first customer and that motivated me. After reaching out in a few communities, I noticed heavy pull from the market, and this pushed me to work harder.

I learned that many people hate frontend and they are mostly interested in having it done, instead of working and tinkering around.

    Congrats! Now you have someone to build for and learn from, and some social proof for the next customers. Good luck :)
