Wow that is a slick side project. I'd love to create something like that but I don't find I have the time.

I'd really love to have a side project so I can live off of it and pick my own hours. However I find that my lack of free time limits the time I could give to something like this.

Hey, I'm Jose, the author of the article.

Thanks so much for this comment. Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Finding the time is hard, yes. In my case it was important to have small goals I could accomplish each week so I wasn't overwhelmed with all the things I needed to do.

Hey Jose, how much time did it took you to build this project?

Thanks, awesome work

Thank you!

I built a basic first version that a company started to use in 6 months during weekends and early mornings and then another 6 months to get to the current version.

I think it could be done faster but I also have a family so I took my time :)
