Why we built it
So, throwback to December 2024, me and my business partner were looking for something to build together. We ran through a bunch of ideas, but none of them felt truly useful.
Around Christmas, I started thinking about a problem we had on a previous project: metric tracking. We wanted something extremely customizable and quick to use, with a clean SDK and easy implementation.
That’s when Measurely was born. We jumped straight into prototyping and building an MVP. I was designing in Figma while my partner handled the backend structure.
After a couple months of hard work, we had an MVP we were proud of and opened a waitlist. The thing is, during that time we had school :( Most days we couldn’t dedicate enough time to the project. We decided to take a break and focus on our studies. Unfortunately, we couldn’t keep pushing Measurely because of our schedules.
Since then, I told myself I’d never put school over my projects, and it worked. I kept grinding on other projects, sharpening my skills in frontend development.
Maybe one day I’ll start working on Measurely again. Who knows? For now, I’ve got other projects to build.
