gotta love the stress and anxiety from second guessing whether or not i just wasted my time building something no one will pay for

building reel.farm and farcasterstudio.com

not a solution, but an observation (as someone who has also spent a lot of time building saas things out of whatever idea):

the design space that we explore when we commit to doing things of impact/value without a business model is vast and separate from the design space of "what will people pay for?"

sometimes we find back doors from one to the other, though.

my strategy is to be very mindful about which projects i'm doing for money vs for impact/fun, i tend to separate my year into months i'm doing one or the other.

often times the for-fun things bring in some money (e.g. unexpected success that presents opportunities to get more funding, or retro pgf, or other ideas that stem from it as a foundation, etc).
