I already have the leanstartup and I have read many, many books on the subject, but I didn't do all this just to start a business. Of course, I want it to become successful, but this project means more to me than that, so I didn't need validation before starting on the journey. In a way, I was scratching my own itch. This is something I will use on a daily basis, and if that's as successful as it will ever be, then it was still worth it.

Seriously, I apologise if I make out in my post that this has been the worst time of my life! It wasn't the intention. For the most part it's been an amazing ride, and I had enough funds to be relatively comfortable while doing it (once I got used to the adjustments).
