Selling CIPO and Launching an iOS app
A quick update...
Selling Cipo
I spent almost two weeks building Cipo. It is a good idea, and I enjoyed working with it, but I don’t think I want to continue working with it. Here are my main reasons:
I did not enjoy working in that sector. My interests are more towards security, defense, and financial services. I tried to make Cipo focus on that, but I just could not find a way out of it.

I really failed at doing the marketing for Cipo. My plan as the MVP was to get a few users and iterate based on their feedback. This plan failed to be realized because I was not confident enough to promote it due to the limited resources I had.
In the end, I plan to list it on the online market for anyone who needs it.
Launching first iOS app
I'm almost done with the iOS app for moms on the tech side of things, and I'm going to submit it for review sometime next week. I'm super stoked about it. This week, I focused on researching and getting ready to market the app. Here are some things that I'm going to focus on:
Focus on organic marketing through social media. The focus is Instagram and TikTok.
In addition to focusing on organic marketing through social media, I'm going to be listening carefully to what users are saying and iterating on my app based on their feedback.

Weekend Hackathons
This weekend, I'm starting a hackathon series where I spend 48 hours building a product, and I'm doing it every weekend. I thought this would speed things up and help me become a faster and more accurate coder. I also think that's going to be more important than the other parts of development, like having good ideas or quality code. To make myself accountable, I'm going to record a YouTube video for each one.
Final thoughts
Survival is of utmost priority, but in addition, I wish to address greater issues. It has been a lengthy and arduous endeavor; however, I remain optimistic and steadfast in my goal of being self-sufficient and providing for myself. I am building myself up and refuse to give up.ems. Let’s do it!
