"And secondly, that we weren’t motivated by making a lot of money "<p>You've learnt a lot, that's worth fair bit. Going forward, you will need to make money. How are you making <i>any</i> money from this?
Sounds like of those 1000 days you also gained an education in business and coding. It may be 1/30th of your life, but so is college. Even if everything goes south, you guys have an entirely new and highly useful skill set, and have shown a willingness to go to an extreme to get things done.<p>If you keep it up, you are definitely going somewhere!
Moroccan here. Hope you enjoyed the country.<p>Did you try to hire any local coders or even interns at your start-up?. There a are a lot of aspiring engineers in morocco who would have benefited from an experience of working for a start-up like yours.
You have an idea, or vision, that you're passionate enough to move, learn, chase, fall, get back up, and continue to chase. This is so much more important that the Technical or Marketing knowledge that so many people have. Its something to be intimidated by, even if you're the worlds greatest Marketer or Full Stack Developer. Finding an idea you're passionate about is infinitely harder than learning skills required to make that happen. Most people's reaction to seeing that is a sense of inadequacy in their own life, which leads to jealousy & some "advice" that is meant solely to make you question your cause....bring you down to their level, and impart a feeling of superiority in themselves again.<p>How hard was/is it to decipher advice from jealousy?
Indeed Kudos! Doing the same thing, but doing it myself while I make a game. Need to put together a blog like you guys. Got some writings and paintings down...just need to build the site. Thanks for sharing!
Hey guys,<p>Fellow Chilean here, just glad to hear Startup Chile was in some way useful to you guys. Would have loved to meet you when you where around ;)<p>Cheers!
