Working hard on something I love

About

I’m a developer who loves the creative process—taking an idea and building it into something real. I've been at this since 1988 when I served in the military as a journalist. The job was only mildly related to journalism, but the military puts you where they need you. In that same spirit, they needed someone to do backups on their PDP 11-44 mini. I jumped at the chance. I discovered the computer was "intelligent"—it replied to my input and that blew my mind! Keep in mind, this was 1987. I immediately wanted to know more, which led to two years of night school while working full-time days. I've been programming ever since. My first truly personal project is TabNook, an AI-powered personal dashboard. I created it because I needed it, and I'm hoping others will too.

48 Hours, $2398 in Sales and my story 😄

I wrote something like this back in 2023. Life was slower then. Fewer people knew me, fewer people used what I built. Now, more people are coming, using my work, trusting it. And sometimes I think should I clean things up, remove old things that don t move anymore? But I don t. I just let them stay.

When I started building saas, I didn t know what would happen. I was just one person, sitting with a laptop, trying to build something simple. I had a job before. Life was okay. But inside, I felt something was missing. So I left that path and started this, not knowing where it would go.

The early days were quiet. I built, I changed things, I made mistakes. Many things didn t work. Many nights felt very long. Sometimes I forgot why I even started. But still, I kept going, slowly.

Then I launched Slashit App. I didn t expect much. Maybe a few people would try it, maybe no one would care.
