From the death of my wife to building apps: this is my short story
Hi Product Hunt Community, I'm Hiurich from Venezuela š»šŖ. I'm 45 years old, and until four years ago, my life was wonderful. I had a job that allowed me to make a living and support my small family, it was just my wife and me, no children.
In 2023, my wife was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer that showed no mercy. I left everything behind to care for her and stand by her side throughout her fight. I was with her 24/7 until July 2024, when the disease took her from me. Since then, my life has changed in ways I am still processing. I was left emotionally and financially broken, unemployed, and facing the daily difficulties of living in Venezuela, It was time to reinvent myself.
Without any prior experience in software development, I began building IQPage, an AI reading assistant that works on any webpage. It took me eight months to build, and after three rejections from the Chrome Web Store, it is finally live and available.
