Building Lovable for...ย โ€ขย 20d

Failed in Public: Week 1 - Survived. It's been a full week since my launch fell flat on its face. The plan was to "build in public," but it quickly became a lesson in "failing in public." There was no magic moment this week. No sudden flood of users. The reality was this: fixing bugs, talking to a handful of incredibly helpful beta users, and staring at code. It's not glamorous. It's a grind. But I'm still here. Still building. The biggest lesson from Week 1 is that the fear of failure is worse than the failure itself. Now that the launch is over, the anxiety is gone, and only the work remains. Thanks for following this slow, boring, but very real journey. On to Week 2.

Win or lose today, make sure you learn. The biggest failure isn't a setback, it's a setback you don't extract a lesson from. Stay curious! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Well, today was the big launch day for my open-source Flutter tool, Crazzy. And to be brutally honest, it was a complete failure. Zero stars, zero users, zero downloads. It's a gut punch after 3 months of non-stop work, and for a second I thought abo
