What was it like to build the first version?

A lot of fun. I love building! I actually released the first version just a few hours after building it. I was a bit embarrassed, because the design was not as beautiful and polished as I would have liked it. But I wanted to push myself. I wanted to start. To release and work from there. Releasing that early also took all the pressure out. Because, I said to myself “this is not even a side project”. This is a fun project. This is not too serious. Releasing it looking like a fun project made it clear to myself, that it is okay to just work on it for fun.
