I have been developing my knowledge management tools (https://hamsterbase.com) for the past year (It is now the Chinese New Year). and this is what I have gained in the last year.

1. collect 5 paying users

Since we don't have an account system, the payments are more like donations. There are currently 5 paying users.

2. release 6 minor versions

From version 0.1 on 23 April 22 to version 0.6 on 21 January 23. 3.

3. Get ? Users. As the software has no telemetry, there is absolutely no idea how many people are using . Currently there are 28 people in the telegram group, 251 docker downloads and 284 stars on github.

4. Cost $70

The official website is render.com, the installer distribution is GitHub and Dockerhub, and the email service is larksuit. All for free. The only thing I paid for was a $60 a year developer account with Apple and a $10 a year domain name.

5. Write 1000 commits and 40k LOC
