I appreciate the support and concern about burnout, but that isn't what inspired this post.

From a non-dev user perspective it is still surprising that you seem to work pretty alone on this huge and valuable projects.

There is in September the @berlinfediday .
If Berlin is on your travel plans.
And maybe the conference wants you as a speaker.

@elektropunk - maybe you can make the right contacts?

@purple I've been obsessed with social media since I started developing BoonEx Dolphin plugins and themes back in 2005, while still in high school.

I was an autobody mechanic until 2016 when I got back into webdev, and later started Pixelfed in 2018 (as a self-taught developer/high school dropout)

In 2020 I teased the first Pixelfed mobile app, and spent the next year learning how to code it, and later shipped the beta version.

Never give up on your dreams.
