Ask HN: Spent 2.5 year working on a Side Project. How should I continue?

1•montague27•2h ago
TL;DR: It's a Todo app I use personally every day. It solves my own problem and has taught me a lot about software development, design, and product management. While it's complete, it hasn't been publicly launched yet, and I'm struggling to decide on the next step. I hadn't considered monetization until now since it started as a passion project. There’s a slim chance it could attract paying users (and maybe earn some pocket money), but at worst, I’ll remain its only user.

It doesn’t have fancy features, but they’re executed well enough to meet my workflow needs:

- Every todo list is text-based, allowing external work with .txt files. - Extremely responsive UX, as most data syncs locally. - Minute-level analytics to track time spent on tasks and projects.

If I decide to monetize it, it could provide valuable experience in running a business, though it might also become a significant time sink. I’d feel very proud if others used my work, but I know how competitive this field is, so that might not be realistic.

However, I realized I might already be doing it wrong — as the old saying goes, “build and validate early.” I wonder how might one navigate in this scenario?

I’d greatly appreciate any recommendation or sugesstion! :) My website: https://mglogi.com/

Note: I'm based in Canada, no ambition to join a FAANG company, having a job at a normal software product company or being a digital nomad is good enough for me.
