Ask HN: What did you do differently to ensure completion of your side projects?

from the ask-hn dept.

I often start side projects to explore new ideas or learn a new technology, but have a bad habit of leaving them half-finished.If you were like me at some point, what work habits or best practices did you develop that enabled & encouraged you to start seeing your projects through to the end?

I've used Mattermost in the past and found it worked quite well. I don't know if it has the same number of integrations Slack does, but as a chat-room/text-communication tool it works well enough. It's also open-source and self-hosted. Perhaps I don't understand enough about how Slack works, but it seems like a huge security risk to me to couple (potentially) sensitive content (chat, e-mails, etc) with a hosted service.
