Happy Birthday 16bugs
It’s been exactly one year since I first introduced 16bugs on this very blog. And it’s been a great experience!
16bugs was my first Rails full-blown app and since then I’ve learnt a lot, both as a developer and as an entrepreneur.
During this year, I established my first company with two of my best friends and released two new apps — Unilife and Pagety. But with that came a much bigger effort from me to keep things running smoothly and, especially in the past few months, I’ve been devoting most of my time to this, while neglecting a bit my social life — blogging included ;) –…shame on me. Yet the thing is I love doing this stuff!
Ahead I see even busier days! We’ll soon start working on a very cool app for a client and on the side we have at least two more we’d like to internally develop.
Plus, I’d like to release a new version of 16bugs as soon as possible which will be RESTful, finally!
Meanwhile, you can enjoy a great offer on both Pagety and 16bugs:
- Use coupon code ‘launchfest’ when upgrading your Pagety account, you’ll get a 50% discount on any plan for up to one year
- If you upgrade your 16bugs account before Sunday, you’ll get an extra month for free
And now for some sleep — which I’m in deep lack of…

Just out of sheer curiosity: would it be possibile to reveal how much hard cash has come back to you, once you’ve subtracted time and (hosting) expenses? As cryptic as you want to be, of course. :-)
I really would be positively surprised if you could make a living out of this (building webapps) without having a 37 in your company name.
I earn something, but not enough to make a living out of it. Maybe if you had a bunch of apps (like three) you could…
And keep in mind I’m not putting any marketing effort in it, so it might be possible to get a bit more revenue out of 16bugs if I only I had the time to plan a marketing campaign. :)
