I had goals. Some of those goals I did reach but having goals and knowing how to reach them are very different things.

Thanks for reading.

Sorry didn't mean to offend you. However I'd urge you to stay optimistic — you made a great thing that inspired and taught a lot of people and probably had a lot of fun while making it! Not everything needs to be measured in shekels.

The only mistake you seem to have made is that you didn't quit soon enough which is a story as old as the idea of collaborative project itself and I think people will continue making it.

No problem. You're absolutely right. I did have fun making it and learned a lot in the process. No regrets.

Goals change over time. Even now I'm making new goals that will no doubt be a bit different in years to come.
