Not yet! I haven't been able to work on my project lately because I'm too busy with my graduation and freelancing, but I stopped freelancing now to work on my project full-time. I hope to release it around March :-)

It will be a platform (non-SaaS) targeted at the US, and I've got Microsoft sponsoring my cloud hosting, doing my marketing, etc.

Oh, I did create a few Windows 8 apps in the meanwhile, that also stole quite some time from my main project. I created the first and only wordfeud solver for example: http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/scrabble-solver/... (I earned only €13 with it so it isn't a great business idea, but I was fun to build).




Good to see you're sharpening your skills and knowledge "in the real word" and you'e not just studying.

I can really identify with 2nd/3rd projects 'stealing' time from the main project. I'm like that as well. It's a bit of a trap but when you're always full of ideas it feels good to check them out as well. (And it's easy to become bored when you've worked on project for a long time).

I did a extensive personality test once and it showed I need the challenge. If I don't get it I will deliberately make projects more difficult by delaying work or trying to find new and exciting ways to accomplish something. Anything but boring, repetitive work!
