I have been struggling with this project for a long time. I don't have coding skills and I tried to develop this idea by working together with friends with coding skills. This never worked and the teams I built in the past always failed to ship a definitive product.<p>I realized that I was "trapped" in a continuous need to mediate, compromise and discuss with these friends/team members for many reasons: split of shares of the project, lack of deep passion for the project, lack of knowledge of the current social network environment, etc.
All the time, I spent 90% arguing with my friends/team members instead of working hard on realizing my vision.<p>After the last failure, I decided to give up but the desire to create something like this kept me from sleeping. I finally decided to work on my own, use tools that I master (such as wordpress with its thousands plug-ins, themes, etc.) and develop my vision.<p>Sure, I had to compromise on some of the things I would like to build and that wordpress does not allow you to do. But it is so much better to fly solo and be able to give life to your ideas and hopes. Just being able to finally ship Everythinker.com has been an enormous goal for me and I look forward to continuing building new features and adding new content.<p>Thanks in advance for any comment or feedback you may have!
I think it's great you decided to pursue the idea until fruition regardless of how well things weren't going with your friends and team. It's hard to get anything done when the other teammates don't have the passion or ethic to see it through. Kudos to you to launching it.<p>As to the person who asked what does this solve? What did Instagram solve? What does Twitter solve or Lolcats or Angry Birds or Reddit? Sometimes providing reprieve from a day or entertainment/inspiration is enough.
