What I Learned Building Whist (Mighty Competitor)

In December 2022, we shut down Whist after ~3 years. For those who didn't know us, we were a Mighty competitor, building a cloud-streamed browser.

I spent a long time reflecting on what happened, our successes and mistakes, and compiled them in a post-mortem. A few people close to me read it and some found it insightful, so I figured I'd share it with the wider community.

A story on hard-learned lessons that feel obvious in hindsight. Here's to hoping my mistakes can save you some!
