It's funny when this kind of thing happens. I built an app that was basically tindr for a project in college, several years before tindr started. Guess I should have release it
Wow! Something similar for me: in 2007 I built a website that had the same functionality as Hungry House. Basically a place where take-away restaurants could put their menus up and take orders. It didn't take off and it only cost me a couple of month's of work. Then Hungry House, Uber Eats etc came along a decade later and nailed it.
To be fair to you, I don't imagine they did anything better than you on the menus and ordering, it's the fact that they provide the delivery that made it work
I did similar, but for Whatsapp. Mine pre-dated ubiquitous connectivity, so had to be SMS based, which limited scalability. Had I been perhaps 1-2 years later, I could have been cage-fighting Elon Musk and getting imploded next to the Titanic 🤷♀️
Hey don't give up on your dreams! Although I will say, I'm not sure you can achieve them simultaneously.
Hold up, bear with me here, what if, ULTIMATE FIGHTING SUBS! Two billionaires have to build and pilot their own submarines to fight to the death in front of the titanic.
I'd watch that.
