Ask HN: Is my sideproject/startup worth the hussle?

1 pointsby iM8tover 11 years ago
Hello,<p>My name is Matiss and I&#x27;m a 19yr old European WEB developer with a passion for tech&#x2F;startups.<p>About 8 months ago I started working as a volounteer on this (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;hmworship.com&#x2F;) offline web app. Basically it saves song chords and lyrics for use on the go. I&#x27;ve learned a bunch of technical things in the process, but I&#x27;ve never had anyone mentoring me or showing&#x2F;telling me how to do better startup related things (e.g. marketing, copywriting, acquiring users, getting customers etc.).<p>Currently this project has about 500 native users and a few foreigners. I&#x27;m not earning a single penny.<p>What would you suggest me to do? Should I try to monetize or is it not yet the right time? Do you think that this idea is worth the work or should I just abandon&#x2F;open-source the project? I&#x27;d appreciate any comments since I don&#x27;t have much expertise in this field.<p>Sorry for my bad English - it&#x27;s not my first language.
