Jesus man that sounds like a lot of work!! I will for sure attempt it shortly, I have just taken up web-development this year.

1.Do (or did you) you work on personal projects? Why?
I do, I think that's the best way to learn. Doesn't matter what I am learning, I always do something on the side.

Also, sometimes you need to take your mind off of something and work on something else.

2.Are they small or medium/large?
small to medium.

3.How many years of experience in development do you have?
Almost one!

4.Do you tend to start and abandon these projects? Why?
Rarely, I abandon them if I realize I can do something bigger and need to restart to do so.

5. Have you completed at least one personal project? Was it successful?
Yes and Yes

6.What's your process? Do you start with coding or any investigation?
I do a small research before I start, mostly to realize if I have enough knowledge to do the project. Then planning and coding.

That's cool! A successful personal project with 1 year of experience is a rare case! Thanks a lot for your answer!

Thanks mate! Pandemic had me going, since the beginning of the year, I would say in total 3-4 months I did 3-5 hours a day studying, and I started from 0. See where it takes me next year!
