  3. THIS SLIDES ARE NOT INSPIRATIONAL, RATHER FULL OF MISTAKES ;)

  4. I START, BUT FAIL TO LAUNCH.

  5. #1 : TREATED SIDEPROJECT AS EXPERIMENT Treat sideproject and experiments

    differently

  6. #2 : USING UNKNOWN FRAMEWORKS Use the known frameworks and

    libraries Known frameworks = less learning curve

  7. #3 : DIDN'T KEEP TRACK OF TIME Schedule the roadmap

    and stick with it.

  8. #4 : PLANNED A TON OF FEATURES Make it minimalistic

    Cut down features

  9. #5 : PERFECTIONISM Don't worry about design Ship it. we

    people will report the bugs.

  10. #6 : DIDN'T OPENSOURCE someone intrested may come forward and

    help you.

  11. #7 : MULTITASKING One app at a time Again, scheduling

    may help you.
