not more than sustaining myself and my family anyway..
but more important than that, I just wanna prove to myself that I can do it..
that I can build and sell things
that's the main motivation

11 upvotes. Not featured. Invisible.
But: 800 visitors, 7 email signups, and actual data to improve against.
