This is spot on, but I doubt the engine itself is that hard to build and that the moat is that big.

Had such a weird feeling skimming through this.

Earlier this year I've spent months intuitively building a product to address some challenges I've faced in the past years while working remotely.

It took all that effort to understand, after hearing from the users, that the product was just the result of me trying to solve my own undiagnosed ADHD symptoms...
