The saddest "Just Ship It" story ever (2020)

This is a story of how it took me way too long to ship a product, and I ended up paying for a competitor product instead.

After 2 years of development, juggling between the fucking horror that's the web platform, React Native, Expo, GraphQL, bitching about how there's no ideal tech stack, the good old jQuery and Filezilla days, switching to other projects, releasing other apps, losing passion, finding passion, coming back to the app, etc. One moment I am scrolling their list of features giggling like a little kid with a 48$ bill in a candy store (yea I know 48$ bills don't make sense, but JavaScript doesn't make sense and you're still using it), one moment I want to find these people and THROW THEM IN A PIT OF LIONS. Their backlog of things to do is huge, but it doesn't matter, they ship every single week, and the app is growing along with the community.
