Journey & Recognition
Worky represents my first complete journey in app development - from conception to public launch. I managed the entire lifecycle of the application, including development, testing, and distribution through web channels.
The app gained significant recognition on Product Hunt, receiving over 100 upvotes and being featured in their top 10 daily product newsletter. A particularly memorable moment was receiving a positive review from Product Hunt's creator Ryan Hoover, validating the app's utility and design.
This project marked several important milestones in my development career: acquiring my first paying customers, generating my first income from a self-developed application, and learning valuable lessons about the importance of marketing in product success. These experiences provided invaluable insights into the full spectrum of launching a successful software product.
