Burnout is real, and was almost detrimental to @pixelfed

A few weeks ago I was near my breaking point

Trying to ship the mobile app, Groups, Sup, PubKit and Loops simultaneously

Thankfully I was able to recognize this and so I slowed down, took time off and eliminated all expectations regarding self imposed deadlines!

Now I can focus on what I do best: coding

Sometimes you have to admit you can't do it all at once, and that's okay!

Us devs need to take care of ourselves, so we can help u

@dansup @pixelfed release dates and planning forecasts are soooo overhyped...

Pixelfed is a great app and I would continue using it even if you released one version a year. You should be proud of your work, and of what you have accomplished. 😊

Glad to see you are ok. Regards.

I feel that! Sometimes time management is really hard in technology because the needs of technology to be made, moved, maintained or updated will frequently take precedence over our own schedule.
