My First Ever Solo Build!

Hey, ProductHunt Community.
Just starting a thread to capture my first ever launch and my first full cycle solo build.

I'm Aaron, a solo developer from Florida. I have been coding for a while but never thought any of my ideas were 'good enough' to let others see them. About 3 months ago I finally committed myself to doing something out of the norm, which, at the time, was building something and letting it sit in my private repo for all of eternity.
I just launched Capsule: AI Expense Tracker, and I couldn't be more proud. The intention wasn't for revenue or even boasting, but a challenge to myself to prove that I do have the capabilities to see something through to the end. I finally did that!
Today is day 0 of the live app, and I am proud to say that I have $20 of revenue, but I am happy to have learned more along the way. If anyone is surfing the internet looking for reasons to do it or motivation to do it, I am here to say that you will be 120% over the moon that you did.
That's my spiel; thanks for tuning in.
More progress to come!!!

Built for freelancers, travelers, contractors, and anyone who's ever said, "I'll deal with that receipt later," and never did.
