I've been building WhatsFlow for a month, and I've hit a wall. It's time to be honest about this journey.
The technical challenges have been immense. WhatsApp Web JS is giving me headaches, especially with QR authentication on mobile. Without access to the official WhatsApp Business API, I'm stuck wrestling with a free alternative that feels like fitting a square peg in a round hole.
But the tech isn't the worst part. There's limited traction, and it's hard not to take that personally. I'm realizing there are huge gaps in my coding skills. Simple features that should work... just don't. It's humbling and frustrating.
Being unemployed adds another layer of stress. Some days, just opening my laptop feels like climbing a mountain. Staying motivated is a constant struggle.
It's time to step back from WhatsFlow. I'll work on stabilizing it for existing users, but I need to explore other opportunities. For those interested, you can still try it at https://www.whatsflow.live/landing.html
This isn't the success story I wanted to share. But it's real, and I know I'm not alone. To anyone else struggling with a project or their career: it's okay to take a step back. Your worth isn't tied to your current project or job status.
Thank you to everyone who engaged with and supported WhatsFlow. Your interest meant the world to me. Here's to learning, growing, and whatever comes next.
P.S. WhatsFlow will remain live for a year for those who find it useful.
