fullPage.js

💪Today I'm taking back a side project I started 4 years ago.

My goal?

🎯Reduce it to the bare minimum.

🎯Build a product around it.

🎯Launch it by the end of this month.

🎯Validate the idea.

I'll be tweeting these days.
Sit and enjoy the trip! 🥳

I always wondered how much was I loosing by not getting into the WordPress market with fullPage.js library.

Since mid 2019 I started talked with Mehmet, an experience developer used to work with WordPress.

Now we are collaborating together on this plugin!

fullPage.js keeps growing and developers keep using it. fullPage.js now reaches 25.000 stars at GitHub and position itself as one of the most starred and forked JavaScript libraries in GitHub.

It keeps motivating me to keep working harder on the project and put more time and effort.

I release fullPage.js version 3, which now gets rid of jQuery library to become a totally standalone JavaScript library.

I take this opportunity to create a new licensing system and start charging for all non open source projects.

First 30 days I make 5.000 USD on this kind of licenses alone, without counting the income from the extensions' sales.

Firs time I surpass 10K/month.

I decide to quit my full time job as a web developer in Cambridge, UK.
My earnings with fullPage.js already surpass my salary and I decide to work full-time in fullPage.js.

But before that, I took almost 2 months of holidays to travel around Japan, Taiwan and China. Time in which my income break all records.

It keeps motivating me to keep working harder on the project and put more time and effort.

I release the first payed extensions for fullPage.js in an attempt to see if I can make any money out of them and to liberate myself from customising the code for developers who request certain features not included in the component.

The first 30 days I sold around 40 products and earned my first 1.100 USD.

fullPage.js keeps growing and developers keep using it. fullPage.js now reaches 10.000 stars at GitHub and position itself as one of the most starred and forked JavaScript libraries in GitHub.

This pushes me harder to work more on the project and keep improving it.

fullPage.js gets into the top 50 most starred and most forked Javascript projects in the world at Github sharing the position with projects from Google, Facebook, Microsoft and many others.

Stars and forks keep growing and people keep using fullpage.js

I released pagePiling.js, a very similar component to fullpage.js but with a slightly different effect, where sections cover one another creating the illusion of a group of piled sections.

Also a jQuery plugin and totally open sourced. MIT licensed.
