That's awesome! Thanks for sharing.
May I ask how much time did you spend on the side project each day / week? Did you plan a weekly schedule and committed to it, or rather worked on it when you had some extra free time?
Hey Omri, 🍻. I can say for sure that it was at least 6 hours a week, but I'm also sure that it was way more than that... I had a small weekly (and flexible) schedule that I committed to, and also a goal to "not spend more than 3 days in a row without working on it". If I just decided to work on "extra free time" I would have taken a lot longer to finish. Planning usually helps me to hit the [start coding] button, and after that, seeing the progress kind of makes me keep going.

Got it, that's really great.
For me, I try working on side projects 5 days a week for 1-1.5 hours almost each day. I found that this is aa good balance between my free time and making real progress.
Keep on the good work Claudio 🍻
