MVP ✌️

I realised that in order for me to create something that will become profitable, I needed to put some thought into it. I couldn't just hack something together again.

So, I set out to recreate Mailphantom. This time I wanted to make sure that it can scale and that I can add additional features. I spent some money on a logo design and on supporting services. I also made sure that the app could accept payments from day one, this is after all the most important point of the experiment at the end of the day; can I generate an income from a service that I've created.

I spent most of my December holiday on the rebuild, but it was worth it as I made some headway before work started again in January 2021, at which point I only had the evenings and weekends to work on this.

A couple of months went by and Mailphantom 2.0 was ready for release.

This is where I realised that the hard part of realising an idea is to get paying customers.
