be me
stuck in high school programmer
want to make something revolutionary
have big brain moment: combine them
call it pic-mo
friends: "what does it even mean???"
me: "don't ask questions, just code"
decide it’s going to be a platform for sharing creative projects
because why not
spend hours building the skeleton
realize I don't know design
rename website from pic-mo to watermelonkatana cause i owned the domain
post beta version
first feedback:
“Why would anyone use this?”
“What does watermelonkatana even mean???”
pretend it’s a deep metaphor
actually just think it sounds cool
add features like real-time chat
chat breaks constantly
fix one bug, two more appear

start getting users
people actually uploading cool projects
community grows
people think it’s a platform for creativity
secretly just wanted an excuse to call something watermelonkatana
accidentally create the coolest indie dev community on the internet
tfw dream becomes reality
