Later, when I quit my full time job to build my own startup, I needed something for survival. The first project I picked up again was lightGallery. It was already quite popular back then, so I decided to rewrite it from scratch and implement dual licensing.
So, basically the trust and adoption were built over years when it was free. The monetization came much later.
I'm launching my personal project, TimeMaster.ai, today. TimeMaster is an automatic time and productivity tracker for Mac.
TimeMaster runs quietly in the background, automatically tracks and categorizes your activities, and shows you precisely how your time is spent. It tags projects, creates time logs, and provides insights to boost your focus and productivity.
All tracking data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.
I'd love to hear what you think
I built this tool to monitor who's using my JavaScript libraries. However, it takes a lot of effort and resources to keep the project running.
I'd love to know if it could be useful to you too. Any feedback would be really appreciated.
My intention was not to build another JavaScript utility library. I just wanted to make my JavaScript libraries jQuery independent.
