Why I'm Building Terminal Emulator for Android
Sometimes in order to make money you have to do things outside your comfort zone. And once you do that you start to get too many roads and things just happen to build for you. And in such case it would be interesting to see how those roads make you do things and you build things you would never able to build.
You kind of start to build legacy like stuff. Maybe world would ignore it. Maybe world would adopt it. And life goes on. And sometimes that is what we want. My 20s were wasted due to family. But as I come into 30s and onwards my life is making me do things which I never dreamt of and life just goes in speed like there is no tomorrow.
Take this example of the emulator. I made this in Expo and the React Native. My intention was to make this app and add into the app store. Not for money but for people like me.
Aim is to replace putty like SSH server on the android. I know there could be more apps doing the same. But sometime just like food you do things and it gives you pleasure. And it's not about confirming to society and their demands. You do the hunting for the thrill of it.
So this is my attempt at this. Let's hope I did hit back at world with some good output and not went into depression. My creative energy used the right way this time.
