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.
