Progress
I'm building an army of micro-apps.
If I'm being serious though, I picked it up to learn new things and to have a little fun. I was always interested in building things and I quickly understood single-purpose apps made more sense. "Oh name-of-the-app can do that!" is what I usually hear in my head and I wanted to do build stuff that way. And that's why I call it progress instead of projects.

You will find most of these on my GitHub↗.
At all times, idea burnout is my biggest fear. Fortunately, I have inspiring people around me and I follow some amazing creators on Twitter, YouTube and basically all socials that I use.
Being open to learning always helps, I guess. I'm sure we can collaborate too, yes, you. Just drop me an email, don't even think about it.
