I've built my first successful side project, and I hate it
How I learned the old truth that when building a software product and selling it to people, "building" is just the beginning. And often, it's the easiest part.
Later, they requested a refund because they didn't find the script helpful, but to this day, I clearly remember the excitement of laying on the sofa in the evening and getting an email from Gumroad saying, "Hey, someone just paid you $9 for the thing you've built". Sure thing random person from the Internet, I totally trust that you won't share or publish my script as your own.There were people requesting that I add some very specific features because someone they watched on YouTube recommended it. Once it's out there, you have to maintain it: fix bugs, implement new features, deal with disputes or frauds, and answer a LOT of emails (often from curious window shoppers who never convert to paying customers).
