I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
The second being that I'm a little fearful of the amount of stress and work it would take if I did have a successful website of my own.
This really resonates with me. I'm in the process of launching a Forem for synthesizer enthusiasts but I also feel a bit freaked that I don't have the time to dedicate to managing the community. I don't have a great solution to this feeling yet, but just wanted to say that I feel ya and just wanted to share that solidarity with ya.
As for growing and marketing your creations, I was recently shown the article "Do Things That Don't Scale" by Paul Graham which might have some helpful advice for ya.
I wish you the best of luck with your projects. They look super cool! I really dig the Character Generator 4000!
Just a coder and a dad. I love my family and I love to code!!!! started coding at 11, so I have 25 years under my belt. Still love learning about it every day. Black lives matter!
