    Thanks for this writeup, I can relate 100%, especially the part on the supportive spouse. I've built WunderGraph (https://wundergraph.com/) as a solo-dev for multiple years until I reached a similar point like you. It's weird to say, but my wife kind of accepted that I'd work on weekends between 1-3 pm when the kids sleep. What helped me get out of this "solo-time-drain-thing" was to find the right Co-Founders to help me. I've found a really nice guy to help me with Marketing, and another one who helped me develop the Product. "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, find a team." I hope you can find some way of financing so that you can push through this wall. For me, it was working a full time job and building WunderGraph at night and on the weekends, but it's making you age quickly. I wish you the best for your future.

  4. Formalize your organization's latent knowledge web.
    Fellow solo developer here. Making https://gainknowhow.com/ . It's my take on how to keep everyone on the same page at growing organizations. My basic premise is that the current data structure to store documentation in folders is not ideal. A better data structure to store knowledge in a graph of connected ideas. Storing knowledge in this manner ensures users understand context when learning skills. I'd love your feedback.
