I quit my business to start an open-source dev tool

Hello HN,

This is a story of me quitting my job as a web dev, starting my first SaaS, burning through all of my savings, and finding what I really wanted to do.

Also, this post is my attempt to start sharing my honest experiences, however good or bad, on the internet. Both as a form of journaling for myself and as a case study for the community.

I want these to be more like personal letters and less like self-promotional feel-good traffic-generating positively-thinking marketing posts.

I want to stay vulnerable and honest.

HN has always seemed to me like a perfect mixture of backgrounds and opinions for stories like this one, so I'd love to read what people think here.
