The hardest part of building a startup? It’s not coding. It’s not fundraising. It’s choosing the right idea. I’m 4 months in, still experimenting, still not sure. But I’m sharing it all so you see the real journey, not just the highlight reel. Follow along if you want the raw founder experiments - wins, flops, and everything in between. #startup #founder #appideas #saas #softwaredeveloper
