The author of this story had recently left their job as a remote Unity developer. After completing a large freelance project for a client, they found themselves in a position where they were no longer motivated to continue working on freelance jobs due to the lack of sustainable income and the repetitive nature of applying for and waiting for job offers.
The author realized that they were missing out on the satisfaction of creating their own projects and jobs rather than relying on others to provide them with work. With enough savings to support themselves for a significant period, the author decided to commit the next 12 months to building things they find interesting, regardless of whether they generate income or not.
They have been working on various projects, including DevJS, a Node.js tool for managing multiple development processes; Smart Database Manager, a database management tool with AI-assisted query generation; Connect Lines, a puzzle game with a content-delivery system; and Walk Me, a walking tracker application. Despite the uncertain nature of freelancing, the author finds joy in the process of building and creating, and they are excited to see where these projects lead them.
