Re:Ask HN: How to found a company as a single founder? by par on Tuesday January 08, 2019 @05:10PM (#18860240)
I am the sole founder and developer of Meta Meme (https://metameme.app). I built it for a couple of years as a side project, and recently went full time on it. It's been growing slowly over the past couple years but really started picking up last summer. I'm not going to lie, it's been really difficult. There were a lot of times when I'd just be so exhausted or worn down but kept working on it. And I thought everything would be better once I went full time, but it's also had its own unique set of challenges. Still, I am excited and grateful to be doing it and pressing on. It takes a lot of time and dedication.

A VC recently told me that most startups don't fail, it's just that the founder quits working on it. The deeper I get into my business, the more i see how that can be true.

Hi, checked the Android version Meta Meme app. One suggestion: split it into arm and x86 version for the the ffmpeg lib to reduce the apk size. Each of them is 9MB which is not a small number.
