title: "How I stopped my startup just before building it"

slug: startup

I almost started building a startup and stopped on time. I saved 2 years of my
life! Here is the short version:
- I had the product idea, name, the landing page, a domain, a reasonable
financial plan.
The landing page is [here](/2022/synctech.html), and here is a screenshot:
- I just needed to buy the domain name and start making the product.
- Something did not feel quite right, so I kept sitting in the "ready-set--..."
phase for a couple of months.
- I read a book that [Avery Pennarun][apenwarr] recommended: [Crossing the
Chasm][book] by Geoffrey A. Moore.
- I am not doing this startup and keep having fun [at]({{ ref
"log/2022/uber-mock-interview-retrospective" >}}) [work]({{ ref
"log/2022/how-uber-uses-zig" >}}).
What was the startup about?
