I enjoyed this post. It's actually refreshing to hear that not everyone hits it big and that's okay sometimes. I'm in a similar situation.

As much as I read about the glorious successes and the spectacular failures, its important to also hear about the guys in the middle, working hard and keeping the dream alive. Good luck with Moon Clerk.

If its opened up your eyes to a new venture then it's been profitable in certain respects, and as long as its not costing you a fortune to run then that's potentially just as valuable.

I love this post. It's another reminder that it's all about the journey, working on stuff you care about and using your failures to launch you into your next opportunity.

Hi Dodd, really enjoyed the article. I really liked your design of bellstrike, its really catchy and idea sticks. Btw, you mentioned you are not a developer, so do you outsource all your work? Or did you learn while developing bellstrike. Would you mind sharing the tech stack you picked up?

Thanks for the compliments on the design. We kept all of the dev work in house. Three full time developers. Now with MoonClerk, Ryan, my cofounder, is a developer and we're contracting out some of the development but mostly with folks who are in our Coworking office or nearby. We develop in Rails.
