Hey, congrats on the launch! I think the onboarding was really interesting -- love the different illustrations. For consumer apps, everything needs to be as easy as possible, because you're competing with YT Shorts, TikTok (crack-level distractions). On iOS, I hit one roadblock where the keyboard blocked the "next" button -- small detail, but that required some thinking.
I was also keen to see how the whole system fits into my life before I paid, and since it take 66 days ;) I thought it would be nice to see if it actually worked before I decided to pay. Just a thought. I almost made it all the way through!
Curious how you used AI to migrate the website into an app. Could you share more about that process?
Great job -- shipping something is always exciting and doing so in such a short timeframe is something to be proud of.
Are you me? Hah. I identify with your situation quite a lot. From exhibiting ADHD type symptoms, to self-medicating, to entering tech, to being unable to hold a job.
Quitting weed didn't help me. I stopped for 2 months. I'm not off weed, but I don't rely on it nearly as much. When I smoked, I thought I could be my authentic self and care less about what others think of me. Weed helped with this 30% of the time. The other 70% of the time weed made me closed off, paranoid, and sometimes just weird. But I latched on to the good times to tell myself that it was helpful.
My only suggestion: find a good therapist and start this journey now (https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/). I thought I had ADHD. I thought I had an addiction to weed. I thought I was in the right career. After a very public firing, and going into my 30s, I knew something had to change. Your situation may be completely different - I have no idea, this is just my exp.
Now, I'm on a different path. I'm working towards a career pivot. I'm doing things that are completely different from my prev career. I enjoy it. I don't know where I'm going exactly, which is terrifying, but....... it's fine.
Consider this next chapter as a series of small experiments to tease out who you really are.
And for God's sakes, don't throw away your relationship with your Wife. Like you, I have no idea why my partner stuck with me. They has been my strongest support.
i'm in a similar situation. cofounded a VC backed company, then worked in product in data analytics. started applying for jobs and getting limited responses.
currently rethinking careers and connecting with folks interested in starting something.
