Daniel Supernault

In high school (circa 2006) I discovered an open source social network project and got hooked.

I learned web dev
Started my own instance
Made and sold plugins
Became a better developer

Few months later, friends stopped using it, I lost interest. I moved on.

Then 8 years later I find myself running a statusnet instance on hyperboria and re-discovered the spark

Few years later I started Pixelfed, my own project. I'm so proud of how far I've come, sometimes I can't believe it. 2006 dan is proud

@dansup yeah but HoW dO yOu MoNeTiZe? /s

seriously congrats! building things should be its own reward.
