Backend developer from Pune, having worked for four years in logistics, now working solo

Hi there. I have spent four years coding route optimisation logic for a logistics company based out of Pune, in Go. Great experience, but I haven't seen anyone actually use any of it myself till date, reports filtered in through others, months later.

I quit to work on a small product a few months back, meant for delivery riders working independently - a shift planning tool showing them the best paying neighbourhoods during certain hours. Far from perfect. We have had 20 riders as our first customers and had to redo the map twice as they found it very difficult to understand.

I would like to meet two kinds of folks. First, honest criticism of folks who have developed products for non-technical users. Second, other solo entrepreneurs willing to have a discussion every now and then.

Apart from work, I can barely cook food and even worse at chess. If you are building something for gig workers, or have quit your full time job in the past one year to start up, let me know how!
