Hello PH community, going to launch my FIRST software soon!
I never thought I would ever be able to say this.
As a kid, I liked C++ and built a small voting software for my school elections.
I learnt some basic HTML, but CSS felt overwhelming.
I went to a seminar where someone made a "fish swimming in a pond" artwork live on stage using Java (I think).
And I was fascinated by it. I bought a book to learn Java, but it was so thick that I never got around to opening it.
Turns out, I was better at animation & graphic design, so my career took a different path.
And I had to say goodbye to coding.
I felt I would just be the guy who helps others with their products.
I could help with brand, design, and marketing.
But, I'll never be able to "ship" anything myself.
Until AI changed the game.
For the past few days, I've been working on my very FIRST chrome extension.
And it feels incredible.
Not because it's a Chrome extension.
But because I never thought I would be able to build anything.
I never thought I would make a Product Hunt account.
I never thought I'll ship my first product!

So I am just damn happy to be here. Finally!
Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome to Product Hunt, @arungopidas
I could relate to your pivot from coding to animation and design. For me, it was QA → Coding → Writing.
Happy to see exciting background stories like yours. Wish you the best.
