I just published the longest Article in the History of Medium.com

The title says it all and its a 52 min long read.

A few months back, I released a social network, after 4 years of a solo-development. Now I'm back to tell my story, so I wrote down everything that happened during those 4 years, including what I worked on and how.

I hope this article will serve those who are struggling with their side-projects and are looking for some motivation. Its not easy to keep going when you don't see the end in sight, but I guarantee you that if you just keep going, the end of the road is there waiting for you! πŸ˜‰

Hi there, we encourage authors to share their entire posts here on DEV, rather than mostly pointing to an external link. Doing so helps ensure that readers don’t have to jump around to too many different pages, and it helps focus the conversation right here in the comments section.

If you choose to do so, you also have the option to add a canonical URL directly to your post.

Hi Sloan, I didn' think I could actually post the whole thing here as well. I'll try to update it later today and see how it goes. For example, I'm currently trying to post it on vocal.media and I can't post it in full. I will have to split it in 2 parts because its too long.
