Maker Journal October 2025

October was packed — not because of Hacktoberfest, but my mega freelance project. It’s been burning up all my time and energy. Basically, no space left for product work. I did plan to market ClipSend this month, but honestly, I had zero energy. Whenever I managed to squeeze some free time, I’d rather chill — rest a bit or play some Steam games. My brain just couldn’t take more problem-solving.

I also lost my X streak after tweeting daily for months. Totally missed a day during the busiest period, so I decided to take a break. Didn’t see much benefit from it anyway.

Still, I managed to squeeze one weekend for Product Weekend #8. Planned to use my remaining Bolt tokens to vibe-code one of my old products — HookFeed. Got it around 80% done, but couldn’t finish it. Also not too happy running it on Supabase, so I might rethink the backend later.

So yeah… October was a full grind month, but at least I tried to keep the maker spark alive.
