@chechoribero yes that’s basically it. I wasn’t able to garner a sizeable audience in my target demographic, so it was really hard to market my tools. Good luck, if you can get it off the ground it’s a really cool passive income!

@zorianflorian I would love to connect with you about that! I tried to figure out how you can start as a carpenter in Germany and the Arbeitsamt told me because I have a design degree I can just find an apprenticeship somewhere but then I couldn’t find any place that was even looking or responded to me. What’s the programme they suggested to you?

@mauro I’ll definitely take you up on that. I’m really doubtful about the future of my career at the moment!

@anakin78z how do you decide what type of app to make and if it has enough of a USP?

@chechoribero I’m sort of leaning into the same direction of dev work but I have tried to sell a few tools and it’s a struggle so I am doubtful if that can be a full time career. Have you tried putting up any templates or plugins on mograph market places?

@slanderoid haha time for hobbies on the job is the best perk! 👌

@zorianflorian funnily enough I’ve also been playing with the idea of carpentry. I actually seriously looked into it when I lost a job once and was unemployed before I went freelance but it was such a bureaucratic jungle that I gave up on it. What is making you consider it?

@slanderoid what’s your special assignment?

@mauro I relate to this sooo much! It has dawned on my now that I have dug myself a hole in the advertising industry (I’ve been doing motion design since about 2011) and I want out. Funnily enough, I am also considering the web development/computer science industry 😂 I am hoping to not completely lose animation in my work but I have always been more drawn to programming (I specialise in expressions and Mogrt template dev in my mograph work) than graphic design/making art. Hope it works out 4 us!
