Do (or did you) you work on personal projects? Why?

I do. Because I will have full control on my own project, not to be tied by other ideals.

Are they small or medium/large?

They are small to my view. If I have to compare them with projects such as jQuery and React, Laravel and Symfony.

How many years of experience in development do you have?

What development? As I remember, I start coding in 2009.

Do you tend to start and abandon these projects? Why?

No, I still maintain them until now and still accept questions regarding to my projects usage and features, unless nobody no longer need them.

Have you completed at least one personal project? Was it successful?

Can personal satisfaction be counted as โ€œsuccessโ€? Or, is it all about money?

What's your process? Do you start with coding or any investigation?

Mostly I would just look at other large projects and try to make the lite version of them.

That's cool! Thanks!
Regarding the criteria of success. I guess, the project is successful if it's useful for other people

Yea, Iโ€™m still trying to get more stars and users. Hope it will be better in the future. You can have a look at my GitHub projects to determine whether they will be useful for others or not.
