I Began a Startup Blog called Struggle SaaS
Posted onDear reader, thank you. Reading this means you’re one of the many who visit my website/tech blog each month. This blog gets more traffic than any other website or project I have. With that note, I wanted to share that I started a new blog last month.
In March, I decided to pursue an idea in the in-person events space called Melitix. Often, when I start a project, I lose interest after a while and move on to something else.

I know this will be hard, and I might fail again. This time, however, I want to document it. I will learn more from the experience, and you, dear reader, can learn something from my experiences as well. There’s something about working in public that I think will motivate me.
